There were a few bugs like the blue panel key not falling, or unclear effects like interaction prompts still there after the puzzle pieces were completed, but I really liked this jam game. The color pallet, the sound, the inability to die all look relaxing, like a really nice slice of an indie game.
Thanks for taking the time to play it!
By "blue panel", do you mean the blue square? It should appears and fall in the right place right away.
But I agree that making two interactions following each other is a bit odd.
Great to hear that your experience was overall plaisant.
Amazing art and good game
Thank you for taking the time to play it :)
Stunning art and amazing music! The birdies I saved were glitching around a lot and I had a hard time figuring out what to do after I saved the first bunch, but it's really nice to look at and I hope you continue development and polish it a bit from the mechanics, this definitely has potential. Great job!
Thank you for your time playing our game.
Indeed, we had this annoying bug at the end due to wrong coding design. Mistakes happens.
Once you saved your friends, you just have return to the platform on the far right of the puzzle that should lift you up to the end of the puzzle.
Beautiful visuals! You are planning to develop more of this game? I think it is definitely worth it! I think i would want to play game like this!
Maybe as some feedback i would mention that colliders need to be adjusted - then walking bird sometimes doesn't touch the ground. Also maybe some polishing of jump. But it is minor, since it is just short jam game.
P.S. when there is flying animation in the end it looks like swallow, but when walking and jumping it is more like crow or jackdaw.
and one more comment, maybe next time call you zip file by the name of your game and exe file too - because you know, there are so many games that by title 'gmtk2021' its hard to recognise yours:)
Thanks for taking the time to write feedbacks.
We will for sure made a version bug free with all the levels and the polish needed to have the right experience. For the rest who knows ;)
Haha, the goal was to represent swallow birds indeed. Hope the artists will not see your comment on that! :P
Nice tips for the zip file. Didn't think about that before since I was able to make a browser version in previous jam. Fixed. Thank you!
Ooooh, is this a bird game? See a bird game, play a bird game!
I love the art, and the bird animation - the small hops and wing fidgets really made it feel like you were playing a bird! I also appreciated the long cutscene when your bird ascends with the platform.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to move the blue box, so I just played the one level. I also noticed that landing on the spikes in the first level had no effects, and when you free your fellow birds, they kind of just drop to the ground and slowly slide off screen. XD
Overall, I enjoyed this experience. I'd be interested in seeing where this goes!
Thank for playing it!
Yeah the follower birds are a bit "drunk". Do not fly after drinking alcohol kids! Haha.
The blue box should be in the right place right away. The plan was to push it, but the stairs were too straight to make it happens. So it appears above the good platform to avoid extra frustrations.
We will for sure make a more polished version to express our initial intent.
Very nice graphics and general atmosphere! I really enjoyed the way the game looks!
However, the mechanics need some polishing. It would be great to have a bit more visual feedback when certain things are triggered.
Nice Entry!
Thank you for playing it!
Yeah, artists did a great job on that game!
For the mechanics, we tried to make a lot of stuffs (too much) in such a short amout of time and this back fire at us I think.
Should have cut some features to have time polishing the existing one.
It's very easy to overextend yourself in a game jam! You still did a nice job, though!
The visuals are very striking here, this is an interesting world and you don't see that so often in jam games. It feels like a vertical slice of a much larger atmospheric puzzle platformer. Flying in unison with the other birds is a simple but effective way to evoke the theme. Well done!
Thank you for playing our game.
Artists did put a lot of efforts in the esthetic of the game
Glad you found out by yourself how we wanted to represented the theme in our game!
This game is amazing, the music and the art are great, probably the best of the whole jam, if it weren't for the bugs out there, it would be basically perfect, but anyway a very good job, despite everything it is still a amazing game :)
Thanks for playing our game!
Even without bugs, we would have lacked time to make incremental difficulty in puzzles. This simple thing could have make us shipped more smaller levels. Next time I guess!
This game looks really good, I had a few weird bugs with freeing the other birds but it didn't really impact my enjoyment. Awesome work :)
Thanks for playing it!
Haha, indeed that bug came out too late to have a proper fix.
Glad it didn't impact your time playing it. "Bird is the word" right ;)
this game is amazing rated 5/5
Thank you for taking the time to try it!
The game looks and sounds really beautiful, but I faced many bugs with the birds.
Thanks for playing it and for your feedback!
Yeah, we tied the birds behavior close to the player controller and we got surprises like that after many iterations on the latter. :O
This game looks absolutely beautiful
This is definitely a game that will be able to go far, and I'm excited to hear that you'll be continuing development on it in the future.
Great job, you guys make an excellent team together.
Thanks for taking the time to play it !
We will for sure fix major bugs and integrated the levels we started but not finished due to the lack of time.
We will let you know for the rest. :P
good game, it has a really good atmosphere to it something that is really hard to do, good job
Thank you for your feedback. Our artists (I include audio here) put a lot of energy to find the right balance ! :)
