Good game

Submitted(+1)

Im going to be completely honest...

I spent way longer than I was planning, playing this game. Its both adorable and very chill. Graphics are cute too. The music can be very hit or miss but the audio itself is good. Overall, enjoyable. Amazing work!

Hhaha you scared me for a second with this introduction! Im going to study some music theory so i can make better music in the  future :p

Submitted

Oh no! The music is great! Some of them just don't quite fit the theme. Otherwise, the tracks themselves are really good.

Very enjoyable experience! I'm glad the little bird isn't alone anymore, though that is one picky girl!  

One little nitpick is I would've enjoyed a button to fly down faster.

This is so adorable. I love the style and graphics.... It's quite charming :)

Developer

How do i get past the first question? help!
Edit: My bad i got stuck in the begining for not reading properly. Excellent game, really loveable graphics, really liked the animations.

Developer

What do you mean first question?  

If you mean intro: You can advance dialogue with F 

If you mean completing the first day:

You need to collect stuff like flowers / berries from around the map and bring them back to the starting area with the bird on the stick.

Amazing graphics and music, and nice gameplay. It is really fun, good job!

Love the procedural leg placement and the little sounds that go along with it, the music slaps and the visuals are soft on the eyes, amazing work!

Submitted

Super cute game.

The artwork and mood of the game are just amazing ! That being said, I find that the theme of the music doesn't really fit :/

8/10, Great game !

(PS: I love the way the bird's legs move :D)

Developer

Haha I know, i literally have no idea what i'm doing in fruity loops! But i'm glad that you liked  the game!

Submitted(+1)

really good way on the theme, really liked the idea and the gameplay, the female bird was a bit harsh XD, really loved the artstyle too, great game 9/10

Submitted(+1)

Very Cool Game, I Didn't Expect Someone To Take The Theme In This Way But It Seems That You Nailed It, Fun & Gameplay Wise ;P

Submitted(+1)

The little stick icon for this ommmgggg - I love little touches like that. I was very very excited to play this one after seeing it on Twitter & boy oh boy it did not disappoint! Super cute design & so much fun to play. Thank you for this!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for your comment!! I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

It was a very fun game, but the gravity could have set a bit higher in my opinion because you would stay in the for a bit to long and when you went all the way to the ceiling the birds was stuck in the air for a bit.  Overall it's a good game the movement felt nice and it wasn't too long / too short

Submitted

Actually a good game.  I can see the effort put into it. A little gameplay variation would be nice. Greatthat my gf don't leave even though i dissapoint her time after time. 

You know who else doesn't leave you? Curry bear! Check out our game!

Developer

I did put a lot of effort in :)! So thank you for noticing! 

 I might make a version in the future with a bit more content other than gathering stuff! Thanks for playing!

Submitted (2 edits)

really cute, although couldn't finish the game for some reason, probably a bug :(

i would say if you would add more things to do except mostly grab sticks it will be way more fun, i see potential for this as a super cool game. right now the gameplay is kinda lacking.

make sure to check out our game too!

Developer

Oh what bug are you talking about?

You can also hunt beetles and collect treasures other than collecting twigs, but I agree more content would be interesting to add if i'm going to make a new version!

Submitted (2 edits)

i saw your game page, so i might just had some extra twings laying around that the female bird didnt like so she didnt progress, so not a bug i guess

what i meant about mostly collecting twigs is that you have to get like 18 twigs but only 1 flower/bug.

but i really like the core concept i would love this to be a full game :D

Submitted

Greatt concept. Please review and rate our game.
