Great job for first time using Godot and under the time limit! The style of the game is really great - the way the screen zooms and darkens when there's a bird overhead is pretty scary! The mouse not being captured in the window made looking around a little awkward, and it's a little hard to tell where the landscape ends, but overall I still think this is in a good state for a game jam. I was able to find 6/8 of the eggs. If you update in the future, I would recommend a sprint with limited stamina and a cooldown so you have more of a chance to escape the birds, or maybe a size changing power-up to expand on the theme! Anyway, well done, I enjoyed playing this little demo :)

i like the idea and the style of the game, but you cant look around cause your mouse isnt captured, so you should capture the mouse. Lack of sfx, games without sfx lack responsiveness, they feel like nothing is happening, if you need a source for sfx, try out freesound and check the license to see if you can use it. I think those two things would make your game just feel a lot better to play, otherwise good job!

That moment when you climb out of the rocks and see the desert in front of you with the bird shadows swooping over head . . . I feel like I’m with Frodo and Sam walking into Mordor and seeing the volcanic plains laid out in front of me. “Built to Scale” is a brutal theme to be given for a tool you’re not used to working with. Props to you for making something so evocative, even if it’s incomplete!

The lizard animation is top-tier!
