Thanks for playing :)
The late response for each bird is deliberate to make it feel hard to give order to the birds. To compensate this, the healing is OP so if you fail dearly while trying to order birds to attack, you can fix it with healing.
Still, I'm going to do something about difficulty in hitting something :).
Missing story was there cause I didn't plan to have one in the first place :|. The idea is to bring birds to end of the forest while collecting branches and fighting enemies. So the story is just that.
