The best menu and UI far and away. Graphics are cool. However, there could be a basic tutorial, because i dont understand what i am supposed to do. In general, nice work. Well done

Looks stunning, audio is great, love the use of sound. Controls well enough and didn't outstay its welcome! Neat little thing, very cute. Good job.

The way to play each level is very vague and the movement isn't very polished - I could jump without being on the ground, got stuck in the ground, can be disorienting ex... . Although menu areas are super polished and I absolutely loved the art style (reminds me of Firewatch). I really liked the concept and the art style but the movement and lack of objectives really let you down. 

I guess this is the part where I say to go check out my game?

Any hints on how to catch the yellow bird? It was circling in the air where I couldn't seem to get it. I thought it was attracted to the torch so I moved it and stood back, but it didn't follow.

Love the visuals, great job on that polished menu.

This is a very abstract game wich means 3 things: the visuals are great, and the gameplay is hard to understand, and only lasts for a couple minutes.  I had trouble with the objectives as vell, but can't say anything wrong. This IS a good game.

Had a lot of trouble understanding the objective. It's not very clear what the berries are for, or when you drop them, and I only got it once I accidentally dropped a berry near the bird pole thing..

The art style, home screen and music are on point though!

Thank you for your feedback! I should've added more feedback to your actions. I hoped that it was clear that the bird should go on the pole, since there was also an empty pole in the menu. But I was definitely too hands off with communicating about these more abstract mechanics. That's something I will improve on!
