I played all the games.

Cool project. Looks like something you could revisit/expand upon in the future. Also, don't remember seeing fruit floating on air in a 3D game before.

Very cool "bird simulator"! This game is relaxing with with a simple goal of eat to evolve. The arcade aspect is great in a realistic game. Good Job!

Fun game! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

:D

Good job, interesting movement mechanic choices on each evolution, I know I struggled to come up with different upgrades in my game so I know how it is, but these are fun choices that you can unlock!

Great game! If the map was bigger and the other birds could kill you we would have birds.io

Chilled out little game, I like it.

Well done :]

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Good experience but miss objectives and challenge. As there is no danger or emergency we can take our time. fruits respawn so we don't even need abilities to collect them. To bad. It was a very good potential but you miss a vertical slice, win/loose and objectives. Overall quite a good game just hard to get involve. I finish it just to see the Level max. Also next time if you can add an icon instead of text for wich fruits are avaliable it will be better. By the way GG you finish it and it look amazing. And sound is good too very nice.

Thanks for the feedback! yeah the problems you brought up evaded me for too long, though are absolutely what this game would need. had i payed attention to the deadline i couldve made slightly more interesting and clear UI. i also wanted to add a render feature to highlight food periodically but couldnt figure it out in time so just had to leave it.
and thank you for playing it! means alot as this is my first jam AND my first completed game, so every little tip, hint and critique is massively helpful.

You are welcome. It was a very good first game for a game jam. YOu do it well.
If you got a bit of time i would apreciate to get your feedback on my proposal. : https://itch.io/jam/xanderjam-3-spring-jam/rate/989211

Really neat game! The swooping was very intense the first time I did it and it was wild to be able to eat other birds once I hit max level.  Great work!

Developer

Thanks! the swoop is honestly pretty useless, but it was the first "ability" type thing i made before id decided on the movement mechanics and i really liked the fast downward snappyness to it so i decided to keep it, and found a really good sound effect for it too. perhaps a development on this would be to adjust the gameplay to make swooping more useful (and honestly all the abilities).

Developer

edit: ive added a WebGL build to save the download. for some reason i was worried about performance, but i forgot its now 2021. enjoy!
