I love it :D, the game is really cute and I love the art style! the theme is basically accomplished too, thumbs up from me!

Great graphics, this can be released as a full fledged app for mobile for sure. I loved how visually appealing this is, and it's enough of a spin on a flappy bird-esc gameplay that it feels new and challenging.

I didn't get much of a sens of verticality from the background being static,imo, adding some parallax layers in the bg would give this a nice cherry on top.

Remarkably well thought out and polished for a jam game! The number of different hazards and whole idea of protecting the bird friends is clever. The art style is great and the animations are all top quality! Really good stuff, you should be proud!

Great entry, well done !

torak-whiteleopard 2017-12-05 18:11

This is a gorgeous looking game! The gameplay is also really good, and the various hazards are very inventive while still being in keeping with the theme. Well done!

Cute little game, it's on the easy side and only died once because I forgot to move and a nut hit my little birb :( Good job! :3

taiku 2017-12-05 18:12

Awesome game! Very fun to play, it feels great and is a great take on the theme. I like the art style, it's pixel but very animated. Even the enemies are pretty unique and fun, acorn shooting squirrel, jumping fox, snapping crocodile. Only comment is I kind of wish the birds followed you closer and maybe you had a faster drop time, but that's all probably part of the charm!

asghardian-game-studio 2017-12-05 18:14

Wow, i REALLY enjoyed this game!

The art and sound are amazing!

Also, it seems really good programmed, like, all enemies and the "join" bird mechanic is really smooth.

until now the best game i saw (:

imphenzia 2017-12-05 18:20

Hey, I didn't see that coming - the cactus stretching to prick my bird :) I like the art style and simplicity a lot. Pleasing to flap the bird into the sky. Maybe a bit too friendly (easy) in the beginning and restarting from the beginning after reaching a few levels up is a bit discouraging (hmm, my game suffers from that I realize since I have the same element of design). Nice game, I like it!

arya 2017-12-05 18:25

Beautiful and unique game! The art and sounds are great, and the mechanics feel smooth. Best game I've played so far in LD40

budgiem2 2017-12-05 18:25

Great game! I really liked the art and sound effects

jushiip 2017-12-05 18:28

Fun little game and cute and colourful graphics! :) That sound effect on the crocodile instantly put a smile on my face. :grin: Can't really think of anything to criticize.

handle 2017-12-05 18:28

Excellent entry. Very well thought-out and executed. I would prefer a little more difficulty, but that's down to personal preference.

xarras 2017-12-05 18:37

Impressive, it's perfect in every way, it feels very very solid and the graphics are simply amazing, the colours great, the gameplay addictive. It's a perfect entry

billeclipse 2017-12-05 18:51

Really great game! I love the art style of the game and also the transition from a level to another. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more project from you :D

gabrielatavora 2017-12-05 18:52

I love the artttt =)

rahmkota3 2017-12-05 18:54

I like this game but it's a bit too easy imo and space it a little bit of an awkward button for jumping for me (my wrist started to hurt after playing for a while). Graphics are great, gameplay is fun (if only it was a little harder) and theme was incorporated really well into the game :)

camcam-s5 2017-12-05 18:55

It's addictive game, I imagine it on a phone ! Really cute and very polished ! Good job ! :)

skullpixel 2017-12-05 19:04

This game is beautiful in both how it looks, and in its execution. Exactly what Flappy Bird should have been. Congratulations on a VERY solid entry!

cullencoyote 2017-12-05 19:07

Cute!

nivbeth 2017-12-05 19:11

So cute! Makes we want to play it again and again <3 Really great job!

joel-rochon 2017-12-05 19:19

This is the best one I've played so far. I'm blown away. Fantastic job.

fis 2017-12-05 19:32

Seriously - it is awesome! I enjoyed playing really long, at about ~18.000 points and 20 birds around you the progress got quite slowly. Therefore, I would suggest not to make it a marathon, but to separate it in different levels and not scaling by "more height to travel and more birds to carry" - but yeah it fit the theme quite perfectly :) one more suggestion: don't make the blackbird collide with the others - quite annoying behaviour if you are waiting in position and getting bumped in random directions ItsATrap.png it's a trap!

elanya 2017-12-05 20:08

Cute little birds. I like how they hop while moving on the ground. Overall the game feels very polished and nice. Good job.

brandon-anderson 2017-12-05 20:17

Once again, another adorable and fun game. I dig the separation of the levels which gave me a sense of accomplishment whenever I got my flock there =).

secretpocketcat 2017-12-05 20:21

It's so charming and the crocodile sound is the best SFX ever. I would fly near to them just to hear it and chuckle every time.

jfraser314 2017-12-05 20:56

WoW! Great art, super fun. This was the best game I have tried yet, though my finger did get tired from flapping.

gruhh 2017-12-05 22:03

A simple game with a very interesting feeling. I liked the mechanics and especially the sound effects!

Um jogo simples com um feeling muito interessante. Gostei das mecânicas e especialmente dos efeitos sonoros!

tinyworlds 2017-12-06 00:04

Oh my god this is so cute! I care about my birds so much :DD But all the animals in this are just too adorable and nicely animated! The sound design also works really well to add more character and make the birbs come alive. Thank you for making this! :)

roaring-cat-games 2017-12-06 03:22

I love this game. The controls are simple, the visuals and audio are perfect, and there's tons of content. As you play you find all kinds of surprising challenges. This is really well made. The different enemies are all cute, and kind of funny in their own way. Bumping birds into the christmas light looking things, while sad, is also unexpected and hilarious with the sfx.

You should be very proud of this game.

mr-matt 2017-12-06 07:05

This game is beautiful and very creative! Well done!

abuki 2017-12-06 08:13

Very nice! I played it with my 3yrs old son and we enjoyed collecting other birds.

sybatron 2017-12-06 15:44

I love your game @gumboot #comfyfish

zenmumbler 2017-12-08 21:15

Very nice drawn visual style and animations, fun little things like a bird sitting on an alligator's back. Good adoption of theme. I got about 1300 pts at level 3.

owc 2017-12-08 22:02

Simple game with pretty art. Good entry!

tweedle 2017-12-08 22:20

Felt great all around, a little background music was all you were missing :smile: awesome entry!

mase 2017-12-08 22:20

I was eaten on lvl 4, while trying to scout ahead and clear out all the acorns. :sob: The level design & difficulty seemed good. The ambient noises were also pleasant.

gyfis 2017-12-08 22:30

Just what I love to see in Ludum Dare - simple games with clear idea, awesome execution and no unnecessary stuff around! Thanks for the game, really enjoyed it and it may be my favorite so far :)

gumboot 2017-12-08 22:33

just wanted to thank everyone for all of your feedback!! Very helpful to hear ( : Going to be trying to review all of your games soon as well.

petr-belohlavek 2017-12-09 06:37

Wow, I feel we might have found the LD40 winner. This is very nice and polished game. Of course, there is a obvious similarity with flappy bird but this is totally next level. Theme is on point, graphics is beautiful. Various enemies are pretty cool. Nice game!

glintgames 2017-12-11 21:44

I love the elegant design, calm zen atmosphere of all the cute colorful birds flying around. Lovely little jam game very well designed and tons of gameplay. I got to level 10 with 30,000 points!

ddrkirbyisq 2017-12-18 17:32

So nice! This has a surprising amount of depth to it and all the obstacles are well designed...and really cute too! Aside from a few minor collision issues (which you may or may not have already fixed) I did find that the game's framerate tends to slow down quite a lot when lots of birds are colliding against obstacles such as the ground. But anyways, those birdies are so adorable! The random variations for the flocking behavior were great and you really hit the theme well too. It really captures the feeling of being an adult bird trying to lead around all these little fledglings.

Congratulations on a job well done!

2017-12-19 06:58

​Hiya! I really enjoyed this, it made me feel calm and stuff. And... I'd like to know how the anatomy of the living cacti works, for science purposes.​​

oldpeculier 2017-12-20 19:59

Scores very high for graphics, mood, and overall fun. One of the best!

jeroenwimmers 2017-12-21 17:38

First thing, it's adorable how the lil bird hops around. secondly, the sounds, mechanics and sounds all from a nice coherent whole, well done. I just wish my bird would fly up a little faster, but it's tiny bird anyway

hisfantor 2017-12-22 20:11

very cute game, the graphics are lovely and the flying feels well balanced

sand-gardeners 2017-12-23 22:15

Great little game, well done!

ayame9joe 2017-12-25 13:43

So lovely a game. I just can't stop playing. It is so good. How about adding some chanllenges? Especially when you have to leave someone behind. Just make it harder to do so. The game would be better.

2017-12-27 16:42

Super cute, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWC1pkAxfVs

wwhnl 2018-04-28 21:23
