Tysm for the pixel art tips! I wanted to make the background change to give a sense of progression but as you said some made it hard to see. I love the blue bird idea for avoiding that issue. I did originally intend to have some sorta story where the bird is learning to fly with his jetpack while the other birds are making fun of him. And when you make it far enough it plays another cutscene where the bird catches up to his family. Buttt never got around to adding that either lol.
Thanks again for playing and the feedback! I really appreciate it :D
