Fast, frantic and had a blast catching finches. Some seemed rarer than others, but I still caught plenty. Great work! If you continue the game, it might be interesting to see other scientists trying to disrupt your effots and disprove the theory! I could see asymmetric PvP local multiplayer being a thing...

If anyone told me that today I would be playing the role Charles Darwin who decided to be the next spiderman, I would not have believed them.

And yet, here we are - the wall jumping, speedy net slinging devilishly handsome Charles Darwin, here to rob the Galapagos of all it's finches XD!

Very fun, managed to get 7177 on the first go round, awesome job!

It's not a bad game with interesting mechanics except wall jump. It was so hard and awkward to use.

I love the animation of using the net in mid air. xD

All in all, pretty fun game, though the wall jump was a bit awkward to use.

Really liking this one.
Your little Darwin player character is so cute and his grunts are very entertaining. There is still life in his old bones yet!
Your gameplay is pretty original. Gives me Ape Escape vibes. Lovely!
The art is crisp and bright, suiting the game well.
However, the controls are bit rough. Jumping gives me vertigo.
But still, a very fun and whimsical game! Good job.

Bonus points for the trumpet music.

I loved cornering the birds and getting like 5 in one swipe! I love the idea of Darwin wall jumping collecting animals, like a fitness god. The game was fun and the art was great. Nice job!
