Not sure if it's a bug or not but - if you 'die' on the nest you can still rest and even feed your babies. Digging it so far!

Pretty cool! I liked the mechanics, both the scope of the game and the graphics really set well with the theme. I think the random generation needs tweaking to ensure that all runs are at least feasible (but I realise this is impossible to do in 48hrs, and also I guess it might be part of the appeal/aesthetic for you).
Cool concept!
Ooh, this is neat. And surprisingly hard! Do the babies eventually grow up? Or are you just trying to keep them alive for as long as possible until the food/your stamina gives out?
(a pretty dark view of parenthood there :P )
Haha yeah, there is no way to 'win' as of the jam version. Maybe one way to take it would be to relocate your nest once you run out of food and keep going from there but yeah I'm not really sure how to make the game work in the long term.
This is the nest game.
Interesting game, I wasn't quite sure what I was picking up and such. Seems like I eventually just die no matter what.
I like the abstraction. Since there have been plenty of potato entries, my first thought was it is a potato feeding baby potatoes. Then when I look back, it might have been birds. Pretty sure those are birds.
Cool game!
Potato Birds! Also neat game, makes me feel dumb and useless though. I wish there was was a little more empowering game about my babies starving.
I really like the concept because it actually requires some strategy despite the simplicity of the mechanics, but I had quite an hard time understanding what those images meant. I mean, if you didn't write it in the description, I would have never deciphered any of them.
1D gameplay, this is minimalist!
Cool concept but you can keep playing after your babies die, and this kinda breaks the whole timer mechanic.
