Great take on the theme, a really brilliant game thank you.

I really enjoyed this. Nothing like piling up some bodies to achieve your goal. Cool stuff :)

I love it. I especially love how it fits the theme in a way I never would have thought of.

Cool stuff! I love your sound effects. I think the pace of the game could have been a little faster, both the turkey and the projectiles, but really fun idea!

Great game! Has very nice aesthetics and fits the theme nicely. I also agree that the pace of the game can be faster though.

Poor birds, Well done!

Good game! The art, sound effects and music are all well done and the idea is creative. I do think the puzzles are a bit too simple though, and that the game should be paced faster.

good game, i like the idea of killing himself to make usable plaforms, it's an idea that i've seen several times on this LD43 and it works perfect ! :D Good job !

Poor baby birds :(

Good idea to use the bodies of the fallen to continue. However, I would say it is sometimes more boring than anything to just pile up bodies to reach high points (especially the first time you ask us to do this, with a huge triangle, takes forever :p ) Other than that, the others ideas you implemented kept the game fresh and interesting. Good graphics, the audio is nice as well.

Congrats!

I liked this one.

It has the theme concept, nice graphics, cool audio and works well. I guess some limitations on quantity of birds you can use per level, or bonus for using less birds (in a score system) would be a nice addition to the game.

Very well done!

As others have mentioned, the pacing is a bit slow and there's no reward for minimizing your sacrifices. Increasing everything by a speedup factor of x2 would make the game feel drastically different. Also, limiting the number of siblings or giving 1 to 3 star ratings for the levels would incentivize the player to stop harming those poor little things.

I was initially frustrated at the limited movement (a flightless bird can't walk?) but you did a great job of taking this limitation and making the most out of it in your level design. Also, the bubbles at the top and bottom of the level in the background is a nice touch. Well done on setting the mood.
