Everything about this game was amazing. Particles, models, animations, everything. Great game, hard to believe it was made in 48 hours. I could "see" the hard work xD

Post Scriptum: How did you get the pixelated effect?

11/10 Got to live out my dream of becoming a majestic flamethrowing seagull...

A hilarious and fun little time waster.

Now, please avoid using the Z key in the future, as it is extremely awkward on non-QWERTY keyboards. Sure, it is reconfigurable, but having something else like space be the default action key in this would've been a better choice.

The game overall is very well put together. By which I mean that everything (with the exception of music, which is sadly missing) fits together to form a nice whole. A Gesamtkunstwerk, as one might call it. The movement, animation, graphics, and effects all complement each other and are perfectly in theme to form a simple and clearly silly game.

I'm not entirely sure what else I could say about it. Aside from the music there is scarily little that could still be improved. Perhaps having more clearly laid-out goals --I was not sure why I would be collecting these small pillars? or if that's what I was supposed to be doing-- might be better. Maybe a counter for how many things you've destroyed so far could be neat.

Definitely one of the best entries I've played here. Very well done.

so much fun, I really think the graphics were great

lubos 2015-08-24 13:15

I doubt I will find cooler graphics than this!

ajopart 2015-08-24 13:19

Stupidly awesome ! Like the graphics style a lot ! The explosions are great ! the animation of the bird is hilarious. Some minor collision bugs but nothing serious. Lack of gameplay, objectives... except for the killing part

crypto137 2015-08-24 13:20

Now this is a strange one. It made me laugh and feel creepy at the same time.

The graphics are superb, the theme is amazing, the gameplay is basic, but fun. I really liked how everything you touch with fire instantly explodes. Sound effects are nice, and the lack of music actually adds to the mood of the game.

I kinda wish there was more gameplay to it, like a scoring system or something, but it's still a good 2-minute experience.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, BUT I'M PLAYING A FIRE BREATHING SEAGULL! :DDDD

My life is complete now, thanks.

On a more serious note, love the art style :)

One of my favourites so far for just crazy fun. Saw some posts on twitter about this so it's nice to get my hands on it. With a fire breathing seagull, who can ride a bike as the protagonist you can't go wrong.

cicanci 2015-08-24 14:51

So fun, you can ride a bike! Great job!

burgerdare 2015-08-24 15:23

I spent a few minutes absent-mindedly wandering around the cute little world picking up rods before realizing that I was playing as a seagull with *fire breath.*
My enjoyment of the game picked up considerably from there.

hyoga-3d 2015-08-24 15:23

hahaha great game, very crazy indeed, but that is cool, great take on the theme.

rattower 2015-08-24 15:24

It's like Syndicate.
With seagulls.

raducumiczzz 2015-08-24 15:26

Being a seagull was one of my dreams:)) Fun little game. Graphics were great. Great work for a 48 hour game! It gives a lot of great feels.

justinj 2015-08-24 15:27

So great.

Stuff I loved:
* The general concept and art style, beautiful
* The way the people ran away
* The explosion animation
* The way the twigs each made a different sound
* The bird's feet, super funny

Only thing I didn't really like was the lack of a clear objective, I thought maybe by collecting all the twigs I'd make a nest somehow, but it wasn't clear to me if collecting them all did nothing or if I just missed one.

Regardless, loved it.

flashmonkey 2015-08-24 15:33

I like the graphic style and the fact that i am a duck which burns weverything down

mr-smile 2015-08-24 15:42

Riding the bike was the best part :D

thedanielberry 2015-08-24 15:45

I like flying around on the bike.

norwalnate13 2015-08-24 15:48

I love the art style.

belva1234 2015-08-24 15:49

10/10 would buy it

joeprogram 2015-08-24 15:56

Pretty hilarious. Would have loved to get a button prompt over the bike - needed to read the comment thread to figure out I could ride the bike.

g_o 2015-08-24 16:16

THIS IS THE MOST UNREALISTIC THING EVER!!!
I MEAN - BIRDS RIDE BICYCLES?!!

Just kidding, but more seriously thats pretty funny haha
I like the graphics and humor.
The most curious thing I'd say is that this LD all the sadists are poping everywhere.. it's almost creepy haha!

hippgame 2015-08-24 16:19

Very funny, but there no real objectives to :/

xgeovanni 2015-08-24 16:21

Since this appears to be a Unity game, why don't you make a Linux build?

architect404 2015-08-24 19:48

possibly one of the best bike-riding flame-throwering sea-gulling simulators I've ever played

conormn 2015-08-25 00:39

Fire-breathing seagull for the win.

ewchap 2015-08-25 02:02

Fun game. Flamethrower Seagull was not something I would have ever thought of. Riding a bike no less. Great fun.

boaheck_artgent 2015-08-25 02:39

What a fun game. I even managed to climb the cliff at the left and get a view over what I had destroyed. Wasn't sure what the point of the stick things was though. Definitely made sure to destroy as much as possible. Would be cool too see this but you can fly too.

I'm just glad this exists and isn't called "Seagull Simulator"

fenreliania 2015-08-25 09:36

Just amazing. Could have done with a bit more gameplay, because unless I'm missing something you just have the one small map, your bike, and your fire breath. I picked up all the sticks (or I think I did) and nothing seemed to change, although I did ride the bike up the walls and got my feet stuck somewhere super high up, which made walking awkward. Seriously good silly fun though, I'll probably come back numerous times to relax and romp.

tijmentio 2015-08-25 20:57

Sick inverse kinematics

rubna 2015-08-26 07:38

good gta mod!!

neanderg 2015-08-26 08:21

Really loved playing this game. Nice graphics, especially the fire particles. Some stuff with the seagull and collider but overall very pleasing.

mathijs750 2015-08-27 20:25

10 van de 10 meeuwen. Would play again

saucygames 2015-08-28 04:50

10/10 I'm in love

napoleon 2015-08-29 16:51

BLASTOISSSEEEE !
Also, the title makes more sense after searching what Meeuw meant in Dutch.

nomand 2015-08-30 18:56

This is so good! I love little oddities like these :D
