Very chill, kudos to the composer
A very relaxing game. Had a great time going through this. There are only a couple things I wish were different really, and one is very specific to me. Being partially red/green colour blind, there was a couple times I literally didn't see the eagles before it hit me. Not sure what would have worked within the single colour sytle you were mostly using but something to be aware of. The other minor point is I found the effects a little loud, distracting from the music. I wish they had been just a little quieter.
All that said, I did keep the game open the whole time I was writing this, listening to the ending music. I really did have a a wonderful time in those skies.
Thank you for the valuable feedback! We're sorry the game did not consider cases like yours.
I would like to fix this in a post-jam game update, since accessibility is first and everyone should have a relaxing time growing their flock back home.
From what I have researched, a Green/Purple contrast would work better with all three types. Could this have worked to your knowledge in your case?
Maybe, I'm not actually sure. It is something I only some get and I honestly don't look into it much since it does not come up as a thing most of the time. I suspect purple would help a lot in my case but can't promise anything.
We'll do our best to work on it in more ways than one then, thank you :)
I love how chill this game is. It's a great time. I forgot there was the ending, so that was a nice surprise. I like the meditative roaming around and collecting things, it's a rarer thing that it should be in games. Thanks!
I love the slow addition of instruments as you grow your flock! Really beautiful and evoked a feeling of growing epicness in me. Well done!
Some notes: The clouds on the horizon make it hard to see flocks that are far away, and I didn't realize what the goal was until I accidentally made it to the oasis. Also, I couldn't restart or exit the game from the finish...
But I really liked it, and you made great use of dynamic music. Way to go!
Really cool game! I think it's reminiscent of agario in terms of gameplay but I love the artstyle and the atmosphere here, and it indeed is a relaxing game.
So cool. Great music and such a nice little experience. Charm of a time. Can't really find fault because it's kind of boring by DESIGN gameplay wise :). May not be my cup of coffee but it is definitely still cool.
This was a lovely calming game with so great music. I would play it just to chill for a while. Also, the simple graphics are incredibly well done.
I left this comment this morning and then saw you'd submitted the game to me and said there was an endgame. So of course I had to see it. It was just as fun as before, and I'm glad I saw how it all ends. Thanks
Man this was an incredible experience, the building music, chill atmosphere, pleasing visuals, Katamari-style growth, and once again the muuuusic!
I love this game and didn't want it to end, I definitely think you could expand and polish this to a full small game release post-jam!
Great job y'all!
This game is really nice and relaxing. At first though i found myself lost and unsure where I'm supposed to go. I did not get that the yellow beam was the target and dismissed it as part of background environment. Also I'm not sure what scare button even does, because i saw no effect(apart from sounds.)
Is very pretty!
It is very cute, it is relaxing and the music fascinates me.
The only negative thing I see are the sounds, some are annoying, especially when more birds join.
But overall, it's very good, one of my favorites! <3

Thank you for for the feedback! We'll change it in a post-jam update to make it easier on the ears :)
Loved the experience! I really enjoyed the music that adds layers the higher you get. That feature alone could keep me playing until the end just to hear what's the full song! A nice and relaxing game! Good job!
Loved the music and the simple task at hand. Made for a relaxing experience!
Absolutely beautiful. I loved the use of 2D and 3D, the music also adds up to this peaceful experience.
It's a little laggy sometimes, but I believe it happens since it's running in the browser.
Congrats on the work!
Thank you for playing, glad you had a good time!
The lagging birds does seem to be a browser issue for the most part since it was working fine in the Unity editor, but I'm sure there's a fix we can find somewhere in there to avoid it :)
Beautiful adaptive music, exactly what I wanted to do for mine but I wasn’t too familiar with it yet, so just went for the long-ass loop approach.
Really satisfying to join with other birds, between that and constantly wanting to hear the next music layer I couldn’t stop playing.
The cardboad cutout art assets look really cute as well!
Simple, short and sweet :)
I am absolutely in love with the soundtrack, adaptive music is the best thing ever and you used it to excellent effect here. Turned this game into a 10/10 for me.
I LOVED this game. our team also made a bird flock type game but yours is very original! I liked the perspective, the aesthetic and the sound design.
Nice relaxing experience! And fits the theme perfectly. I only wish bird sounds weren't so sharp :)
Awesome art style! Love it!
That was a fun game, and all the little birbs happily drinking at the end ;_; Thank you for making this game :D
The game’s style looks really cool and well done! The music is really cool in my opinion Great job!! If you have some free time, can you give my game a try?
