Cute :) Graphics are simple but work well, I really liked the animations and bird expressions. However, at a certain point I couldn't advance. I'm not sure why, since I had 3 birds pass to the next screen, but it didn't scroll. Sometimes it was a bit unclear what I was supposed to do. Anyway, great job, it was fun.
Im a sucker for the monoChrome graphics like Undertale has. THe sounds when the chickens move is really nice, and the droplets of water make great ambiance. I got stuck, but i played it for a couple minutes and loved it. <3 2018-12-02_19-58-09.gif
@vasco-freitas Sorry to to hear you got stuck, the camera is supposed to follow the majority of the birds, so if 3 out of 6 made it through the camera wouldn't likely move. If you were at the part I think you, then 2 more birds should have been able to make it, as well. Thank you for letting me know, though!
I loved this! Very creative level design, and the birds are really cute! haha. There were a few parts where I got stuck with only a single bird on screen and unable to get the others to come back, but I think I got pretty far. :D
loved it, everything's perfect
I feel it needs some key to swap the focus between them. I'm not sure when the screen shifts focus. I'm also not sure if i'm doing well, I need some kind of feedback, possibly break down to levels. Something like world of goo where I need to bring X of them to the end would work.
Overall great entry!
Absolutely Amazing Aesthetics!
@timeshapers The loss of focus is easily the biggest issue, the rooms are segmented to help make it obvious when you're progressing, but if you leave too many birds behind the camera doesn't choose a good place to focus on, unfortunately. The entire thing is not long enough to be split into its own levels, but there are a few points with some more subtle hints about how many birds you need to progress, especially at the end. Wish i could have had play testing so the camera could have been better, but thanks for your time and response!
An interesting game and idea for sure, pretty fun. I really enjoy the style and art most of all however. Good work!
Eventually ended up stuck somewhere, but that's probably lack of skill and utter exhaustion playing in. It's a really interesting concept though, and I quite like the art style.
Fun little game!
It was a bit aimless, but maybe that was the point. I loved playing around with it. Great Game, Cool style. I'd love to see more of it!!!
I loved everything about this game, the audio, the abience, the chickens and it was also really clever take on the theme, great job.
Some really clever puzzles! Loved the animations and sound effects. Some camera issues where I was trying to figure out which bird the camera was trying to follow. Great game overall though. I loved the atmosphere!
Managed to get two of them to freedom! Not sure what happened to the others, there were some ominous bell sounds, so I'll just assume they became professional bell tollers and lived happily ever after in the maze.
Anyway, the puzzle design was really solid, I'd especially give props to the first few tutorial sections. The way it managed to teach what structures to look out for in levels ([ things where you can gather chicks) felt really well-designed to me. The individual chickens and the sound effects were cute, those really fit well together. Very fun game, good job!
I really enjoyed this game, and my only suggestion would be some way to tell the camera to focus on a different bird. I too often found that the camera would stay fixed on a bird I was trying to leave behind and then my off screen birds would be doing strange things when I finally got the camera to shift focus. Great entry overall, very enjoyable.
I really enjoyed this game, it felt clean and really stylish, in both gameplay and the aesthetic you created. I loved the core gameplay and puzzle element, working out which platforms can do which, how can I manoeuvre everything, it felt great. I felt satisfied when I figured something out and got loads of birds through to the next room. The ducks themselves look great and I love all the different eyes and personalities you gave them with those eyes. It's a small touch but it just adds so much. The audio as well was really well done, anything more complex would have been a cacophony due to the sheer ammount of ducks, yet because it was simple it worked really well. Overall this was fun, my ony issue would just be to repeat what other people have said and add a switch to change duck focus. Nice work!
