I lost a couple times, but I kept coming back for more! Nice art style, the crows look great flying around. Gameplay is very simple, but it works well.

Very good entry, played around 5 times until I could figure out how to kill the big guy. Very well-polished, but lacks some music. Everything else is awesome though, well done!
Wow, that was tough. I loved the humor of it all, that might not have been your goal seeing as you've opted out of humor, but a flock of crows dive bombing dudes with pitchforks is some pretty funny imagery if you ask me.
Nice. I actually liked the absence of music, but having some ambient wind sound would've added more atmosphere. Perhaps add some music for the boss battle? Also, the peasants seem to have eyes on the back of their heads haha. makes it hard to sneak up on them, along with their ultra flexible shoulders. Great visuals though and a concept that fits the theme so well.
nice game and very good gameplay had a lot fun while playing and after a couple of times i got my revenge muhaha :) A bit of background music would be awesome. But sound effects, graphics and swarm behaviour a very vell made! Good job!
Amazing game to play. Incredibly fun and kept coming back for more. Having some more mechanics (like splitting the flock or something like that) would add a lot to the game and definitely different stages and more bosses. For the time taken to create this it's awesome. The art was simplistic but still well done but some places seemed a bit too empty (maybe clouds in the sky or different houses?). Overall a great execution!
I've played around 40 games so far and this is my favorite, nice mood and concept
Great Work
Congrats for the entry! I love the concept of playing with a horde of characters, it's something that I've been kinda of thinking of working with, but couldn't find a nice idea for it yet. I think that the way you did is brilliant. The controls are interesting, because you feel like you're the pack, not just a single bird, and this has advantages and disadvantages. It can be a bit weird to control, but I think it feels just right. Killing a few crows to generate new ones is brilliant and fits the theme perfectly.
I didn't manage to kill the king, but I had fun playing it!
I like the last crowd managing to kill a peasant, so my flock gets bigger :D It is really great game, when you get used to controls. And though the graphics are Painty style, I like that you used only grayscale, because it creates a style, really well fitted to the crows.
Really great and concise game, easy to understand and fun to learn. The visual style is crisp and clean and the minimalistic choices pay off really well for the game as a whole :3
Cool concept! Love the idea of playing as a group, very innovative and well executed. Maybe you could even incorporate multiplayer elements into such a theme down the road. Would have love to have heard some music or ambience, let me know if you're ever in need of such a thing.
I love crows! This is a nice concept. After I had +60 crows steering felt difficult and I ended up smashing them in to the castle wall. Nice SFX and atmosphere.
The flocking looked really nice, especially when they split apart and then gathered again. I thought it was a little weird how the trees destroyed the crows too :D
Nice effort for a compo entry!
Never seen a game like this before, great job on the tutorial and animations and stuff. - The controls was a bit weird but enjoyable - also, when all the crows died nothing happend, you could just simply restart the game to keep people playing instead of closing the game.
Overall good job :smile:
