Really liked the art style and the concept. It used the theme well.
The controls were a bit stiff, and I think a lot of it had to do with a complete lack of air control (which is odd for a bird). A lot of the platforming was made hard by needing to move a bit before jumping or you'll not be able to move, but if you move too much you'll just bounce off what you're trying to jump over.
The death animation was a bit long, especially when your life is so short. It felt like I spent more time waiting for the death animation than playing.
That said, I think you might have a nice little puzzle platformer with some polish.
A bare-bones, but released game jam game is better than the 90% of people who don't even post anything in the end. But either way, it's all about having fun at the end of the day.
Surprisingly fun. It took a second to get the hang of it, but there really is something with that core mechanic. I'd love to see it polished up into a full game.
Yeah, the music was a last minute thing that I was iffy on when I added it, but too late to change it now that the jam is done. At least I put in an option to mute it in the settings.
Good stuff. Just that right bit of challenge to make it interesting without being frustrating. Tight gameplay that makes use of the theme. Rocking music.
Interesting concept. It took me a second from reading the instructions to wrap my head around it.
My top score was 2610, I got it by just spamming while walking as much as I could before it caught up with me in round 2. Not sure what a better strategy would be.
That sucks to hear. The ??? upgrade psychs you out into thinking it's the ending, just to unlock a second layer of upgrades where things go a bit crazier. It's pretty close to the end, but there's a cool upgrade unlocked by it.
