Highlly relaxing. Reminded me of an old dog fight game from the DOS era for some reason.

Developer(+1)

Haha. Thanks for playing!

The audio and color palette set a really calm mood.  I really liked it. Great game!

Developer

Super relaxing! Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Nice chill game. Pretty and relaxing. Simplistic I think is often under rated. 
Good job :-)

Thanks for playing and your feedback!!!

Will check it out tomorrow!

I like the colour palette used and the background music. I think the birds and picking up the worm could use some sound effects. There doesn't seem to be anything to aim for but I'm guessing that's what you were going for! Relaxing game :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback!

Soundeffects is something I'll certainly include in future jam-games :)

Submitted(+1)

Pretty chill game since there isn't any goal and I often get pull back into the nest

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Very chilled and relaxing. Nice game!

I also accidentally went back to the nest when I didn't intend to. Otherwise seems to run/play smoothly for me.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah the sleeping can be a bit annoying, especially since it has no practical gameplay use right now :)

Submitted(+1)

Really love the music and the mood that it sets for the game. :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and the kind words :)

The overall art was good, with a good color pallete. The premise is simple and enjoyable, but after a while gets boring. It is the same thing over and over again.

I noticed the clouds move based on your direction.

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback.

Yeah I get that it's not something one would play for hours in its current state :)

Well observed; I had to fix the clouds to the camera to make the loop of the world seemless when you fly to far to the right or left :) But it definitely could be optimized to not be affected by changing the flight-direction.

Great feel and style! Really impressive that you were about to throw this together in the last couple days of the jam. :-)

Developer

Thanks for playing!!!

Submitted(+1)

It is a really beautiful game! Your assets are gorgeous, and the music fits perfectly (it is maybe lacking a bit of sound effects? but that's a detail).

Your game is working pretty fine, I didn't see any bugs (maybe you could have add the possibility to play with the arrow keys for not QWERTY keyboard users? But once again, that's a detail).

The major drawback is the lack of content (it is deceiving because, otherwise, your game is very promising)!

Overall, that was a cool experience!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Glad you liked it :)

Soundeffects could really have added some juice to the game, I will try to get some in next jam :)

I didn't think of other keyboard-layouts, thats a really good point. Especially since godot makes it so easy to map multiple inputs, there's no excuse for not including arrow keys :D

There were lots of ideas for more gameplay and content, sadly life came into play and took its (huge) cut of the time I originally reserved for the jam...

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the game. Art and music are good. But it easy to get bored since there is no a real goal, but I understand the meant to be very chilly.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the kind words :)

Definitely a fair point! I would've loved to add some kind of goal and maybe some threats to the bird to make it a little bit more interesting (I had lots of ideas), but I couldn't start with the jam until friday evening because I had to work overtime the last few weeks...

Submitted(+1)

Very chill and fun game.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The color palette is great ! The controls are a bit odd I find but overall I enjoyed the game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)

I didn't use that much time to figure out the control, some things could've been done better. Anything specific you would have wished to be different on the controls?

Submitted

Yeah ! I use a French keyboard. So my WADS is messed up :) Adding to arrow keys would have been nice :)

Developer

I really did not think at all about other keyboard layouts... 

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely include the arrow keys as movement option in my next game!!!

Submitted(+1)

Very cute colors and the bird animation also very good.
Tried to leave the nest but level is looped)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much!


I had to make sure nobody can abandon those poor little hatchlings ;)

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful color palette. The flying mechanic was smooth but also did feel kind of slow. The music was also very peaceful :)

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Yeah, the flying/falling speeds could definitely use some tweaking.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked this. The art is great, and the music somehow reminded me of Stardew Valley. It's simple and pleasant and makes me feel relaxed.

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :)

Submitted(+1)

enjoyed playing game.. music, art and the day shifts are superb.
while trying to drop the worm near nest automatically goes in to sleep

Developer(+2)

Thanks for the kind feedback. 

The sleep-thing can be really annoying, sorry for that. I really wanted to add some kind of user input before starting the sleep, but there was just no time left... I wish I could have started earlier this gamejam :)

Submitted

dont feel sorry and all .. just saying since the quality of the game is good

Submitted(+1)

Hey there fellow bird family :)

Enjoyed your game a lot - I liked a lot of the decisions you made and it looks like you made all the assets yourself? Great aesthetics.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and the nice feedback!!!

Yeah i made the Art in Aseprite and a "Soundtrack" in Beepbox. It's not great but it fits the vibe of the game somehow :D
