Really unique and poetic idea, that brings back childhood memories. We love your game💖
It would have been great to zoom-back the camera the more geese are following you.
We also think that something like a soft piano music coming in smoothly while more geese are found could be nice. Something like a Zelda/Ghibli atmosphere.
Good job !

More fun than I expected! I really enjoyed the game mechanics and the staggered honks of my gaggle. A little ambient music or flapping&wind would go a long way to making it feel more immersive. Ultimately a very satisfying game to play :)

DLC! - (Dan and Luke's Cosy game)I got down to 11 geese left. I like squakin and soarin but I wish there was a easier way of finding the geese.

Squirrel's Quest: Gifts for the BearNice concept, I managed to find all but 3 of the geese. I think I kept coming accross the same 3 ponds, even when following the streams connecting them. Quite amazing how geese manage to migrate anywhere, flying around for hours to pick up their flock only to drop them off 100m from where they started! Jokes aside, I liked it and the game was well done. It was difficult to orient myself because the map was so zoomed in, some way to fly lower and higher to increase your vision would do a lot for this game. The entire flock honking along was a great touch, very satisfying. Overall a great jam entry, keep it up!
PS: a small UX issue is that I personally expected the "geese waiting to be picked up" counter to go down when I picked them up instead of when I dropped them off. The game would probably be easier if I first picked up the entire flock before dropping them off.

ChillboundOn their way to the south the geese got lost so often that they just resigned and waited for their winged guide to pick them up, not knowing that they only had a few meters left on their voyage.
Thanks for playing and your extensive feedback! Many things are unfinished, because I took a pretty relaxed approach to this jam. Improving the camera and with that also the orientation was on my list, but there was no time left. The counter was only added like 15min before the deadline, and just after I submitted the game and showed it to my wife, she mentioned the same problem as you described, but it was too late then. 😅
