How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about a Blackbird Chef who creates new dishes. This happens in the "Calm" phase. Here the player learns how to create those dishes with chill music in the background. And like in many restaurants, this "Calm" phase is followed by many hungry and impatient customers in the "Storm" phase during the opening hours. Here the player has to serve the dishes under pressure with hard rock music in the background.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I created all the assets. Except for two songs that I purchased in the Unity AssetStore and credited in the description. Also I've used some sound files that are either made by me, purchased, or fall under the CC0 license.

Thank you so much! :-D
Did you save your rating? For some reason did the "Rated by ... people" counter not go up ... And this would be my 20th rating! :-)
I actually rated this 3 days ago, alongside a bunch of other games. Itch has been holding my comments for moderator approval, so I'm only now able to actually leave replies. Sorry for the false alarm! 😬
Oh ok, no problem! Glad I finally received your comment! :-)
Thank you for your reply! :-)
I really liked the mixed 2d and 3d graphics ,And i panicked when birds started running and screamaing at me first ahah. But at my second attempt it was really really fun! I love testing my limits about fast texting. Interesting food choice but i respect the birds ☺
It stil has some bugs and not finished but if you also want to try our game it makes us really happy! ☺

Haha, yeah, these birds are quite something else! Thank you for your feedback, glad you had fun! :-)
Sure, I am going to play your game later! :-)
Thank you so much! ☺
Could be a really good basis of a language and typing game! Really innovative well done :)
Thank you so much! :-)
Really great graphics. Not sure what in the world these birds are eating but the mechanic is working really well and the game is even quite challenging, nice job on this!
Thank you so much! :-)
Yeah, these birds have quite the appetite. ;-)
This game is great! It's a really cool way to get faster at typing and it's also very fun to play. The art is also lovely, nice job!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! :-)
That got a LOT harder when my chef started speaking Italian at me! I'm a fast typer but not knowing those words really made it a challenging for for me - I would have saved the language swaps for later levels instead of immediately after the tutorialized first level. I like the unique graphical style, mixing 2d sprites with a 3d environment. The music perfectly captures the intensity of the moment. This is could be made into a fun educational game for kids that wouldn't make me cringe! Though I personally am a bit childish myself.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Later on it's German words. ;-) Yes, if this becomes a full game, I'd have to rethink the difficulty increase!
This one gets too hard too fast, I only got score of 180, but i had fun, especially on the first level :)
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you had fun! :-)
Haha. That's creative! A lot of typing. Very unique and I enjoyed the art / music. Nice job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Hee-ho. Super cool game. Very nice. Thanks for interesting challenge
Thank you for playing! :-)
In the first level, I said to myself "Oh, it is not that hard" Then the second level came up, and I realized I needed to use my brain :) Highly innovative and interesting idea. I am not that much into typing games, but the music made me play for more levels. I liked your vision!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! :-)
Damn zugzwang! I thought it was a made-up word until I google it. Hardest word in the bunch. Made it through though, and got 1000 in the endless but didn't notice any difficulty curve so stopped there. The art, the concept and the mechanics are good. One of the most stressful typing games I have ever played. Love the concept, and it's well executed!
1000?!?! Wow good job! :-D
Yes, endless mode is max difficulty without any further increase. I thought about increasing the difficulty depending on how good someone is, but then I thought maybe it is difficult enough. :-)
Thank you so much, glad you liked it! :-)
Hahaha! I wasn't expecting a typing game! Very cute and quickly addictive!
Thanks, glad you liked it! :-)
I think this is the first typing game I have played and it was really enjoyable. First I thought it would be easy but the different languages messed that up for me haha. I had a blast! I would drop duolingo for this honestly.
Thank you! Happy to hear that you had a blast! :-)
Neat idea! I liked that you switched things up with different languages - added a lot of challenge to learn new words. The whole style of it was very fun
Hey, thanks for the feedback! :-)
Glad you found it very fun!
I really liked this game, why does it have just 5 ratings, can you advertise it dear developer :D
I'll try! ;-)
I couln't think it would be fun, but i was actually a lot fun, and it is teaching, what an awesome concept, great work.
I am on same page with LorinczAdrien, it started hard very fast, but it is okay to just try again, so its fine for me :D
Hey, glad you liked it! :-)
And thanks for the feedback!
Duolingo flashbacks. Bird is super funny! Really cool game!
Thanks! :-)
Such cute and good concept! (Although I think it does not quite fit the theme)
The gameplay is really fun, but the difficulty ramping is real sharp, a little too sharp for me. It would help if fewer non-english words were introduced in each round.
Had great fun with this one!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, glad you had fun! :-)
Cool game about a black chicken becoming masterchef by pressing buttons on the keyboard!
Thanks! :-)
That's exactly what it is! ;-)
