A cute, simple, and sweet little game! It was clever making the nest be both the bird's support and the way you need to bat away the leaves, giving the game more complexity. I did find it an interesting choice to make the bird fixed horizontally, though - it makes some of the vertical leaves a nonentity, though it does make dealing with the ones that are relevant particularly nerve-wracking.
I was not good at the game, but was determined to protect this good smol birb, and so replayed until I got to the end. So satisfying to finally reach the end and watch it fly away!
Ok this is really fun trying to balance keeping obstacles out of the way and keeping the bird up. The only problem is that it ends too quickly. I would love to see and endless version of this. Great Job!
Cute little game.
It‘s so cool to see all the different creative ideas and approaches to the theme xD this one is just cruel because I suck so hard :‘) poor little birb.
Your game looks and feels super polished! :3
JUST LET THE BIRD FLY T___T
this is cute! clever idea.
Short, but oddly relaxing and very enjoyable! Having the nest both be the thing you elevate the bird with and use to remove obstacles introduces a fun risk-reward element to a solid combination of bullet-hell and pseudo Classic Helicopter Game styles of mechanics.
Could see this getting pretty hectic with more levels, or possibly a procedural survive-as-long-as-you-can mode.
Sidenote; took a while to realise the sun was the level progress indicator, but that’s a nice touch. 😎☀️
Really like how you use the nest to float the bird as well as get rid of the obstacles! It would be nice to get some score but regardless fun to play.
Fun experience! It felt satisfying to learn how to keep the bird alive and sweeping the leaves away.
It felt a little weird that the other sprites were pixel art but the sun was completely round. Maybe I would make sure that all the sprites have the same pixel size. BUt all in all really satisfying and relaxing game. Good job!
I really enjoyed it! It was fairly balanced and a pretty unique idea. The leaves falling from the top was a challenge and made me think about how to position the bird correctly. Great job!
