Well working game, I couldn't find any bugs. Nice aesthetic, comfortable controls, good animations.
Short and sweet game.

A very beautiful game. Perhaps, the floor is a bit too slippery for my taste though.
The graphical style is totally great-- clean, bright, colorful. Nice combination of 2D and 3D. I especially love the zoom in on a new seagull when you pick up ice cream.
I didn't love the physics of jumping around. Way too easy to get too much momentum, screw up a jump without any way to correct. A double jump might be cool? And obviously sound would contribute a lot to the game!
Jumping on a platform and not over the platform was harder than expected :D Maybe it would be better to not have the cam showing the bird after every ice cream taken - it was very helpful the first and maybe second time, but after the fifth it only broke my concentration. But to be honest - good job. It fits the theme, it feels complete, it makes sense and it looks good.
I love the graphics and hate the movement :P. It's a little like an ice level. No one like ice levels in platformers :P
Typical seagulls - when ice cream is lying about they don't care about it, but once you have it... I LOVE the zoom in on the seagulls! It didn't get old by the ninth one (I couldn't beat the game, sorry), but instead got ever more intense. Nice!
It's kinda hard to feel that jumping system, but i was laughing when first gull noticed me. And it wasn't as funny later when there was seven of them! Because of you I hate gulls!! :D I really enjoyed playing your game!
I liked the animation feel a lot! I wasn't sure on the first seagull what he was doing, but it came obvious quite soon :)
haha this was great! I especially like the art style. Good work!
It is a gorgeous game! I loved the graphics and aesthetics.
I played the newest version but I still had some problems moving around. The birds keep coming and I don't have enough room to dodge them.
Great graphics and a funny idea to fit the theme. I didn't really like how the jump movement worked, it was a little tricky to hit the platforms just right. I managed 8 ice creams on my first try.
The seagull cut scene was a nice touch, but I think we only need to see it one time. The graphics are tremendous. Really great job. This game is just begging for a bubblegum pop soundtrack.
great fun game, once i got used to controls it made me keep going, only managed 8 ice creams though! might need to chase those last 2
Nice game with nice graphics, I found the cutscenes with the seagulls a little frustrating quite quickly, especially from a replayability point of view!
It would be nice to have some kind of UI warning that seagulls are coming from a given direction, so you have some way to prepare?
Still, nicely done! :)
I would like to see these birds against the cheep cheep in Super Mario Bros. Wonderful little game! :tada:
Hahaha this is a great game!! Very well done!
Great game! Love the combination of 2D and 3D, looks amazing. This game needs some sounds and music so bad! Maybe next LD.. Fun game.
Great game! I loved the challenge. But I didn't like how it takes control away from the player every time you run into a new seagull, slowing the flow of the game. Maybe it should have zoomed in only on the first seagull.
Cute game, loved the art, the concept is cool and the gameplay is fun, very challenging in fact =p Good job !
A simple premise, but effective! I liked the colorful graphics; both the 3D and the spritework were well-done and worked well together. And I loved the zoom-in on each new bird as you collected the ice creams. The played controlled a little weird, but I see you've also got an improved movement version, so I guess you're aware of this point.
And I have to share this:

I had one ice cream to go, and one hit left. I made a go for it, and... got hit by a bird mid-jump. And then landed on the last ice cream.
I win/lose!
@logan Haha guess that's a draw then! Thanks for the detailed feedback, I've updated the "Improved version" so that no longer happens.
I reviewed your game here : https://youtu.be/WCYF7ixLX8k?t=356 congratulations :) and don't mind to ask me for translation ;)
@satanos Thanks for reviewing my game! I don't know French so a translation would be very helpful :)
@spaceturtle Here it is : https://pastebin.com/GevPEScx :)
@satanos Thank you!! :)
I really enjoyed the graphics in this. A whirlwind of seagulls is a fun approach to the theme.
I beat it! ah ha! only things would have been nice would have been some audio, and only do the cutscene on the first seagull. After that i understand they want the icecreams! :D the goofy physics was frustrating and fun at the same time because of the side acceleration. lol
Awesome game! Very fun and loved the art! so cute :3
