Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback! I am planning on brushing it up a little post jam, yes. Maybe some more options, definitely some more sounds for the birds. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Amazing presentation, but a bit hectic to my taste. I'd have loved this with a true turn based mode.

Thanks for your feedback and for trying out Bird Watch. A turn based mode wasn't planned, because I didn't feel it would do the jam limitation justice. I can see your point however and I might patch it in after the voting phase has ended.

Thanks for trying out Bird Watch. I am planning on adding a bit more polish/sound effects to it and maybe decrease the rounds you have available to 15 instead of 20 to make it a bit more snappy.

Great concept and very nicely presented. Good graphics, sound and game balance. The inclusion of the tutorial was a nice touch too.

Cool :-)

Great job! the game play was super fun!

Thank you for sharing your experience with me! And thanks for trying Bird Watch out in the first place.

Awesome music, and art. The tutorial is great, super well done especially for a game jam! I would suggest making a combined score of the time, and spotted count. Then you could have it save a high-score so the player is motivated to keep trying to beat there previous score. Great job all around!

Thank you for your feedback and for trying out Bird Watch! I was thinking about a spotted per time counter as well, to make your runs more comparable. I ran into issues with HTML5 and cookies during my previous game jam game however, so I decided to not take any risk. It will make a great post jam addition, though and is planned!
