Wow, you weren't kidding about the difficulty. :D I really dig the lightening effects, very nicely done!

Very interesting take on the horror genre! Like others have said, the controls could be better. I really like the gameplay but I think that the hitbox of the crow's attack could be slightly more favorable for the player. The game is already hard :(
I dig the graphics, but they needed to be tweaked a bit. The crow could be slightly brighter or have a brighter outline to contrast it more from the background, especially at the starting area. Also, the window of the castle that the player can fly through can be more obvious that it is opened. The first time I played I tried flying through but clipped the wall a bit. This made me think that it was actually closed and I wasted time trying to find another way through.
I like the setting, sounds and theme. However the gameplay and controls took me some time getting used to. Maybe remove the forward movement when pressing space and make it work like a flappy bird mechanic or just make the crow fly in-place. Then press left or right to start accelerating towards that desired direction. When released, the crow decelerates. Also maybe add life-steal to the attack, the red claw effect really made me think of life-steal. So I think your game has an interesting concept and I can see the fun, but needs a bit more polish to gameplay.
This is quite the fun game , i noticed some small stuff like the bird falling and landing on the tree which i really liked , its the small stuff for me , overall there isnt much to say , i think maybe having some way of getting the health back would be nice since the map is quite big actually, also liked the atmosphere didnt look repetitive which can happen in a lot of games.
Thank you very much! There are 3 places where you can heal all live. You can find them or you can read them in the game page (if you select text between <spoiler starts> and </spoiler ends>).
If you maximize the minimap (clicking on it) you will see that the map is not too big. To find the rooms, search the windows ;)
Very cool! I really appreciate the player character, the general art style and the difficulty. It was enjoyable learning how to play and getting through the game.
It is hard to play it in keyboard, but I like it!! The atmosphere is so good. I will use my controller to play it again! :D
It played easier on the controller than keyboard. Very punishing game, any tiny error could lead to a violent death, but as Dark Souls fans who have a problem with masochism, that was actually a huge plus :D Really fun game!
That final boss fight though... dude... -.-
It took me a while to understand how it was attacked, but it is quite original and I like the style!
Interesting game! The controls took a while to get used to but I like the idea of controlling a crow that way. Good job!
I like the look and sound of the game, very reminiscent of a mid 90's shareware title, the likes of which I used to play constantly. The controls were a bit clunky and it was hard to maneuver in a fight, so I died quite a bit. If there was a full-length version of this, even if it was still difficult to play, I probably still would play all the way through.
By the way, the controls weren't explained very well. I tried hitting the spacebar repeatedly as though I were flapping my wings. The funny thing is, as soon as I learned I was doing it wrong, I started playing worse...
The controls were very interesting, I really felt as if I was the crow! The lightning killed me a number of times!
Spooky environment and visual effects. Once I got the hang of the controls it was fun, but I noticed there were times when I killed a bat from above and still took damage. I'm not sure if it's working as intended but it made it difficult to progress. Great job!
It looks great I was very excited to play it. I played using keyboard and the controls felt very clunky. If the controls where a bit more responsive this would have been an amazing game.
Crow flying is making me chilling XD Attaking from air is cool!
Thanks for the game!
Controls are weird in a cool way, I like the jumping start before flying
I really love the red effect on the crow, and the flying mechanic feels awesome! Good job.
