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!

Developer

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!
