Nice, simple one button game. I like it!

nakato 2013-04-29 07:46

Simple but in the theme !
cool graphics

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 11:16

I like the graphics too.
Good work.

Fun, and touching story. Nice little birds.

ndssia 2013-04-29 11:22

Interesting, well done!

Great minimalistic control, quite challenging in the beginning. Really nice graphics!

D'aww. Cute game. I really liked how the simple one button gameplay was done.

I think the bird could have had some kind of growing and shrinking animation to show he is flying closer to the screen, and the first hazards could be different color than the background and look hazardous too, because it wasn't very clear at first what killed me. They looked too much part of the background.

Great job though. I enjoyed it.

Simple game, but its not too intuitive what elements will kill you. That took a little time to figure out how to play the game. The graphics a really cool though.

nice game. took a while until I understood that the bird's size is meant as a matter of perspective. 4/5 overall

Great game. Like others I was a little confused about what did and didn't kill me, but it didn't take long to figure out.

Nice game, or it managed to keep me enough interested to get the good ending. Cute. The parts that kill you could have been a bit clearer but still a nice little game :)

Trivia: my cat sat on "space" and beat the game

despite of that very cheerful entry :)

omaromeir 2013-04-29 20:53

Lol just a small note, you can beat the game by only holding space but you won't get the good ending. It's done on purpose to punish people who play it passively :).

hard to notice the "depth" effect at first, but it's a fun game and I love the graphics!

lightnarcissus 2013-04-30 06:42

Minimalist controls and the story is pretty cute. :3

coffeeonimal 2013-04-30 06:50

Interesting, minimal to maximal :)

josriley 2013-04-30 15:33

Really like how you told a story in such a small space

Hi, he's somme feedback.
What I loved :
- so cute !
- 2D art
- complete and pretty polished
what imo could be improved :
- the depth effect (I first thought the bird was just getting bigger)
- Could not find out what the green part of the level was representing
- no variation in gameplay, only visual changes in the level.
- (very subjective) the relation to the theme is not strong (I think some elements should accentuate more the link to the theme)

Overall neat and efficient, thanks for the game !

atraxgames 2013-04-30 17:03

Cute :)

lotusgame 2013-05-01 14:07

I like the idea. A game to achieve !

uhfgood 2013-05-01 20:56

One-button game, low res art. Very minimalist. I like it, and also the graphics were pretty great.

sakuyan 2013-05-02 03:29

Really cool concept! It was really fun!

bytegrove 2013-05-02 13:46

Cute game! So, I of course played by just holding down space(horrible me). But maybe instead of even allowing that, why not add barriers that you only hit when you're big? Then the player has to actually use the mechanics you implemented.

2013-05-04 03:16

Great game, I actually finished it! Like the sound and simple mechanics. only 72 hearts though! Congrats on finishing your game. Can't wait to see more!

patrik 2013-05-04 10:56

Charming. Perhaps you could add some obstacles to the foreground as well, to make it a more challenging. I love the way it turns into night - great effect. For some reason the background color during nighttime is brighter if I'm in the foreground though... bug?

shard123 2013-05-04 17:00

Really fun and cute, nice entry!

ghostinthesoft 2013-05-04 17:30

like graphics and color effect on the bird

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-04 21:02

Nice take on endless runners!

pabloalexandre31 2013-05-04 22:05

I like it!

granada 2013-05-04 23:20

Loved this game. Would be great a windows version to play offline. Awesome entry!

miharbi 2013-05-12 08:37

I liked the simple concept behind the game. Also, very cute graphics and story. Had a lot of fun playing this game.
