I really liked this, and the dodo story's a great use of the theme. I wouldn't have minded a larger island to try and survive in though.

This is a fantastic game!! The artwork and music are perfectly fitting for the theme and story. I especially loved the plump dodo and the soldier.

It's great that you created a whole game, and finished it too. Maybe making a more dramatic fate for the Dodo could improve the message.

Also, I found the gameplay a bit frustrating. (But I am bad at precisely-timed platformers, so maybe I'm not the one to ask.)

GREAT work, can't wait to see your future projects.

Now I know why the dodo went extinct... very hard platforming mechanics, but impressive style, man!

I like the art, and the music fit very nicely. The gameplay was a bit frustrating, but I guess that was the point... Nice work overall!

The movement is perhaps a bit too fast, but overall this was a very enjoyable game! I would definitely have liked some checkpoints here and there, though. ;)

Couldn't run due to no GL 2.0-capable hardware. I will abstain from rating so it won't affect your score.

Exception caught: This application requires OpenGL 2.0 or above. Yadda yadda OpenGL 1.1.0

GLView and other games say otherwise.

Good stuff, quite fun. I managed to make it all the way to the right end of the screen and killed myself on purpose. Could have maybe been a bit more complex in terms of play options, but well done.

This was far more fun than it should have been, I'm really glad you posted the OpenGL 1 version. Music is awesome despite the short loop, and the graphics are pretty sweet too. I actually died at the same time as reaching the end,so the ending text came up as I was falling off the screen, for added effect. Poor Dodo :(

I was about to post "cant make it work" whaen i suddenly started to her the music. But when i was playing, the sound like... crackled. But I enjoyed the game =)

My dodo died many many times as he touched the fur of a rat.

The music is really good and the sprites are pretty nifty.
