Game Description
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.

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.
Thanks for playing plex! Yessss, I wanted to give the chicklets the ability to gain violence/aggression for say a few moves if they manage to snag the worm from you, but had to descope that. But that would be fun to implement :D
Seeing a 404 page :(
Thanks for trying Pete, sorry to hear you can't access it. I'm not too sure what the issue is without telemetry but you're the second person who faced issues. Might be a browser compatibility issue, or a fringe-case bug with Godot exporting to HTML.
May be a Mac thing? I can't get it to work on safari on Mac. Works on Firefox after a long load.
Thanks for the info on what works and what doesn't plex! While I can't test as I don't have a Mac, this helps as I can include a downloadable in future to cater for Mac users!
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!
Thanks for playing Daverinoe!! :D
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!
Heh thanks for playing Passivist! :D I was thinking the sprites were too small, even for me to notice the bloodshot eyes! But you caught it!!!
