This was really lovely. Quite mindful and I was reminded of games like proteus when playing. It's a unique concept, certainly something different.
It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do. Perhaps there are too many notes to start. It would be nice to deal with say 3 or 4 as a first session so that it's not too complicated while the player figures out what is required of them. I managed to guess the second song because I was struggling to figure out what I had to do and resorted to button mashing. I would chalk that up to too many notes to choose from before I comprehended what was required of me fully. So polishing the difficulty progression is something to consider. But it's a really wonderful little title. Very relaxing and playful. Great work, as always from you.

Thank you very much :)
As always, your in-depth feedback is very much appreciated!
This is my first time hearing of Proteus, but upon a quick google search I can see what you mean.
I was concerned that my game was going to be too overwhelming and vague for players (as well as tough to properly hear which notes are being sung by the birds) and should I develop this game further, I'd want to really focus on easing the player into it in an accessible way. Your idea about a few notes to start with is great! Ideally I can strike a balance of teaching the player in an accessible way without making it too simple / tedious to get through. As is the balance with all game design I suppose!
Thank you again for your comment, I look forward to playing Super Jacked Up Tomato Face Johnson when I play through more jam games today :)
