Thanks for submitting your game to be played in the stream! (waited a bit for you to come and then just played it near the end since this is my last stream this jam) You can see my reactions over in the vod down below (games are separated into chapters with yours being the fourteenth chapter)

Putting the reply also here, just for itch :D
Conclusion ->The game desperately needs better tutorial.
1)The bed buttons were visible at start, but I added last minute the cage and forgot to move the bed😅 and k/x are the same, it was interested for arrows users to use x and for wsad use k, but it wouldn't fit on the bed so.. yeah😅 Also you could jump(better for fighting the birds, but I didn't have room and the bed) 2)Attacks are not random, they are directly connected to the fire gage. So if you spam attack you will each time/life get the same lineup of attack. 3) All bird with flapping wings have 100% chance of heart drop, later some will drop harts that heal more than one live. Idea is bit brutal but: The Phoenix needs to eat hearts of birds to live longer. 4) Everyone had the fish problem 😅 5) Didn't even think of that escape text being essentially twice pixelated, good point.
Thanks again so much for playing. Seeing someone play it is extremely valuable for me!
