This is the best game I've seen so far! It's fun and polished and cool to look at and the repetitive character dialogue reminds me of a children's book. The screen shake is a nice touch, too! I loved the big final level where all the characters come together for a challenging finale sequence! Incredible job, Keep up the good work!
Very funny game. I love the art style and the theme is well approached. :heart: The levels are very interesting and different, the learning curve is smooth and the game balanced. Maybe the third level is a bit easy, since you just have to go left, jump on the trombone and wait until the end. Great polished work ! :thumbsup:
Awesome! Very polished game, with a lot of humor, a smooth gameplay and a well balanced difficulty. I particularly like all the absurd details scattered throughout the game!
How does this have so few votes?! This is amazing! I love absolutely everything about it. The dumb characters, Birdbird being passive aggressive, the details in the dialogues and the objects (I love having to split my attention between story/details and gameplay), the sound design... Oh, and the credits! Great job you guys!
Thanks you all for your awesome feedback :D The third level is now fixed, the safesoft was a bug ^^"
One of the most fun games I've played so far! Loved the character credits at the end hahaha Congratulations!
Hey, that's a funny concept for this jam. The only one I'd change is that dying makes you repeat the entire level, but I Know it's difficult to design checkpoints in 72h. By the way, I think I found a bug in the 3rd/Green Level, I tried different times and after jumping above the clip I die without reason :(
Oh, the audio & art style reminded me a bit to undertale , hehe
Good entry!
@dragojt the forks instakill you! But it's not very well explained :/
AMAZING. So weird but so great, The only one I gave 5 stars in each category. People please rate this!
Haha, I like the during-game tutorial and the remarks and stuff. Also the training character art. I can't wall-jump worth anything though. It reminds me of Undertale.
@superqgs wow thanks you!!!
@echo-team Ah? Did you press the jump button while moving towards a the wall/object? The sprite will change
I was having trouble just getting past the dog. The game still had nice artwork and a good mood. If birdbird is not a bird what is he? Also, why must people keep putting him in cages? It seemed if some objects just slightly touched me, I would die. Great job on making multiple levels. I know how hard it is to just get the mechanics down and one level made.
I enjoyed this a lot! Loved the artstyle and humour! Gameplay was nice and challenging as well, the only thing that bothered me was that replaying a level after you lost felt a little tedious since you had to wait for things to happen a lot. Apart from that, Great entry! Good job! :)
@dk5000p Thanks for your feedback ! The actual nature of Birdbird is kept secret for now. It might be the plot of a future game, who knows ! People put him in cage because he's very valuable, being an intelligent talking (non-flying) bird, in spite of his temper.
One of the best game I played yet! Awesome art and sounds! the gamplay was really cool, controls tight. I have nothing to ad! Pretty much a perfect jam game! great work! I played it till the end! The last level was a little nightmare, but in a good way! Capture.PNG
@togimaro All the usability engineering in the world can't fix my lack of wall jumping skills, sorry :P
Awesome game! Reminds me of a WarioWare minigame with its graphical style. Everything works well but I did notice for web play that there was some slow down whenever a character would talk. I'm sure downloaded would run smoother. I really like this, one of my favorites so far!
A good entry! I liked the Game & Watch styled graphics and the silly music and over the top sound effects and dialogue really made it quite charming. The gameplay was simple, yet engaging and the only thing I might tweak is the controls which felt just a touch too floaty for the rather small game space. That and as people have previously mentioned restarting feels sluggish due to waiting quite a bit, although I can't really see a way to avoid this other than maybe skipping the dialogue once you respawn or adding some sort of checkpoint system. Good work overall!
I thought this was a really good entry. Although I did not master it, it made me smile and I thought the look of it was spot on. Wall jump well implimented. Good job
Haha, really nice idea and fun gameplay. I love your art style in this game. Keep it up!
I am very bad at wall jumping but I still really enjoyed my time! Special note to the sound design and its weird and funny atmosphere. The polish level is very pleasing. Well done to both of you!
I am bad with comments so... hum... I LOVE YOUR GAME!
Very cute premise for a game! The minimal tones to the game was cool. Nice that you worked a final level incorporating all characters in this too. Wall jump feels a little odd and the pipe teleporting you instantly was a little jarring, otherwise the platforming was smooth as butter. Great job!
Fantastic game! It's such a simple idea but it's got a lot of charm and personality to it.
Thanks you all for your awesome feedback!
@shell-pirate yes totally, when we developed the game we did not notice the difficulty of some passage and the frustration of dying, we should have integrated a multiple difficulties with checkpoint or respawn
@randomphantom for the pipe we did not want the player to disappear from the screen at any time but it's strange yes :/
( @s0r0 @artemisia thaaaanks :heart: )
cool game! The narrative is humourous (and keeps one entertained). The art style is really nice with the slight change of tone, yet consistant on every level. And the mechanics change a bit on every level so it's an interesting challange.
note that the controls were very sticky (unplayable) on Chrome when text is shown, but on Firefox everything worked fine.
Overall great entry. Congrats! :)
@axoona Thanks! :D Strange for Chrome/Firefox, for me it's the exact opposite... I have to find what's the cause of this :/
Absolute amazing game! The dialogues, gameplay, levels, scripting of the levels, new mechanics, art and music are top notch. Just a fantastic game in such a short time :) Amazing job!
Very cute game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/VePoszPJyYA
