Thanks a lot for your feedback!
We're sorry for the controls: we were uncertain about how difficult the final game will turn out, so we tested it several times. However, developers are always biased on their game, and we might have underestimated the challenge. But -hey- that's what Game Jams (and comments like yours) are for! We'll definitely try to tune the difficulty of the game, at the end of the voting session. Thanks again for your advice :D
Regarding the bird rescue, well... Let's say that it's not implemented, yet ^^"
