Cool game. I played twice to improve my original score.
Nice, straightforward controls. Good feedback. I could imagine a second level with a rival trying to kick you out of the nest as well.

You play as a Cuckoo, a born brood parasite! Kick your "siblings" off the nest, steal their food, fly the coop!
How does your game tie into the theme?
Cuckoos are natural brood parasites! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_parasitism

Not for now, will need to clean up my codebase. But I may eventually upload it as open-source on GitHub.

A really fun game! Loved the idea of booting your “siblings” out of the nest!
I managed to fly the coop in 92 seconds!
Well done!
Fantastic game! Very cool interpretation of the theme, cute art and a banging tune. Also really liked how evil Jims face gets when kicking, with those bloodshot eyes. The death messages made me giggle too, very nice touch. Really fun concept and gameplay, managed to fly the coop in just under 100 seconds. Great job!
I never thought I would feel as satisfied punching birds as I did now.. I loved it! xD
Was really excited to play this after seeing it in Discord and it did not disappoint! Took a little getting used to using the arrow keys to move along diagonals though.
The moment I understood that I could kick off the baby birds of the nest, the game changed from being about area control to mass genocide. Very fun :D
The way the intro cutscene transitions into the gameplay is really cool. And a very creative take on the theme! Kicking things feels oddly satisfying with the added sound effects.
Hi Kurzweil, thanks for trying to access it. Not too sure what the error is. Maybe accessing it from the Itch.io link might help (Cuckoo Jim by busride studio (itch.io)?
Took me 97 seconds. Really great game! I really liked the art and music, and the gameplay was really fun. Congrats!
Really interesting take on the theme. Took me 160s. Well done!
I really liked the game. Only criticism I have is that directions were a bit unintuitive at first.
