If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
" Currently, the modifier is unannounced," dunno what modifiers

Wild game. I included it in my compilation video series of the ‘So Bad It’s Good’ Jam, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Catch-the-smaller-ones is another one of my favourite casual genres. The amount of hours I've spend with agar.io. Thanks for the game.
Is a seagull's primary diet stones and other seagulls? Sure, why not? Great game. Love the seagull sound effects.
Kinda reminds me of the first stage of Spore. It's a really good start you have here. I think it could be greatly expanded upon though, as after about a minute, the game becomes impossible to lose.
Great bird sound effect though!
I liked that the seagulls almost sound like a porno moan. :)
That sound effect, hahahaha! This game was rather fun. It reminded me of this snake game I used to play where you eat pellets and the snake gets longer and faster. Only this one has a horrendous sound effect and eventually you get so big you eat everything immediately and it's out of your control lol. I got a score of like 163 before I x'd out of the screen. Either way, it was a lot of fun and janky, I liked it. Definitely so bad it's good! I just wish there was a way to stop the game haha.
You have to improve the colliders, I think that the game it is too easy..
Very bad game! One problem is that once the seagull gets large enough it can eat everything and is covering the whole screen. It also keeps on growing without any interaction from the player. Since the game is very easy it doesn't fit the modifier "impossible". Technically the game works fine except that the collision handling could be better. Well done!
I found the 'eat' sound effect funny at first, then got annoyed, then found it very funny as I gobbled everything up.
Nice job!
I've decided to try using a standard format for all my feedback this time around. Please excuse me if I come across as overly curt or miss something important about your game. I'm writing these all quite hastily as there are a lot of games in the jam this year!
What I liked
The graphics and overall style remind me of old flash games which I have a ton of nostalgia for.
The sound of hitting things should be annoying but I found it oddly charming for some reason
What I didn't like
The gameplay is heavily luck based since you can't effectively evade
The hit detection is not very good
Kinda wish it had a high score table though that doesn't matter for reasons mentioned under "other remarks"
Did I think it was so bad it was good?
It definitely has some good and some bad, but it's not really the right mix for that special so bad it's good feel in my mind if that makes any sense.
My thoughts on the modifier implementation
The modifier was "impossible".
Other remarks
That name reminds me of an old, nasty meme
The game may not have a victory condition, but it does have a de facto end state. Eventually you get so big you take up the whole screen and just catch everything as it spawns.
Verdict
It's kind of a neat little game but it just didn't do it for me.
If you have any questions, comments, queries or concerns, please reply and I'll do my best to get back to you.
Well thanks for the feedback. Yes it was inspired by fishy and that kind of games. I guess you are kinda right with luck if you eat a smaller bird near the edges and a bigger one spawns there right in front of you, but fishy does the same kinda. I guess it is up to the player if they want to risk it or eat the bird far away from the edges, it may be thrilling sometimes, but it also may be annoying, but maybe if the enemy spawned only on the opposite site you're from the game would be better for some reasons, but lose some other kind of charm, I dunno. Even if you get eaten this game is supposed to be played fast, so you don't lose much if you get hit. Well maybe some people would rather play the long game and wait for the player bird to build up speed... But thanks for the feedback. Or if you are talking about something else like "nonrensponsive" character movement, then I am not sure what you mean. I tried to make the hit detection on the head part and body, ignoring the wings and tail. I'm not sure what you didn't like about the hit detection(if you were to write expected behaviour and existing behaviour, maybe with pictures, I guess I could work more with that, but I guess it's ok if you don't have too much time).
HAHAH nice one... *bird screams*
