Get to play as a government security drone. 10/10

I like the background and the assets but the audio is kinda messy and as a firs time player it’s kinda hard to tell where to go. You might need clearer indications.

thank you for your f feedback. I'll keep it in mind for future projects :D

I love the theme, big fan of the birds aren't real subreddit. Recharging on power lines haha! Did you get the idea from there?

I would've personally preferred a fixed camera, I found it hard to manage. I'm really bad at the game, though but I did enjoy trying to improve at least a little. Well done, given the time constraint. I had fun!

Developer

thank you so much for playing :D

I got the idea from my usual game jam strategy, google the theme and scroll through the image results until something catches my eye

Love the simplistic art style! It's very endearing. I think adding a shadow below the "bird" would've made it easier for players to know where they were going to land as there are a lot of parts where you're in the air. Overall, nice simple game, good job!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words :D

i wanted to add a shadow actually but as i had more important things to finish in the game i didn't manage to add it.

A 3d flappy bird with no bird.

I like the asset choices you made. I didn't make it to the end though, I keep failing at the part you need to cross the gap reaching the building other side.

Fun idea but why I can't reach them



And I tried these stairs, but they aren't real

I like the art and its a funny concept. Only problem is low sensitivity.

I really love the art in this game, you did a great job of making everything fit together well. Also love the idea of the game, the bird model is hilarious. Great simple game!

I like the birds arent real meme concept. Only issue was the mouse sensitivity was really low. Good job!

at first i thought "weird camera angle" but after realising that im just a bit stupid and can actually move the camera, i had quite a bit of fun with this :) 

Definitely struck with my kind of humor! good work, hope to see more from you in the future ~

Best way to describe this game... Bird get drunk, get security camera stuck on its head, gets confused about what it's supposed to do in life...

Submitted(+1)

The idea is really funny and cool, but the controls are a bit clunky and the camera a bit slow. A shadow under the bird (drone) could make some of the jumps more clear. Really cool overall :)

I really dig the concept here, birbs are definitely not real! The visual style is quite nice, the UI could use some improvements, but overall a fun experience! Would love to see a full-blown version sometime.

Couldn't Start the game There for Can't Give An opinion.

very clean and nice style, I thought the concept was very cute!

I like the steam mechanic. Also a good spin on the theme.

Nice little borb platformer.  I liked the scale of everything, I really felt like a little pidgeon in the city trying to figure how to navigate ledges, air conditioners etc. The volume was pretty low imo.

I understand the author is trying to convey some political metaphor about authenticity, but I think it lacks plot or elemental additions. But I love the collision between the mundane feel of this minimalist art style and the author's serious expression, which brings the expression closer to the player.

A good concept but not sure how it fits to the theme. But the idea and character gave me a good laugh
