Very sweet little game. I definetly enjoyed playing it.
As usual for a jam game, more levels would be awesome.
Sometimes the little bird falls through the big one, is it supposed to happen, whenever the big one is flying?
@brotherbyto Thank you! Yes, it is intended for the little bird to fall through when you're flying. The levels could be cheated too easily otherwise but I haven't found a way to communicate that clearly to the player. I'll add it in the description. :)
i like it! good game!
I'm really bad at this game, I couldn't even get past the second level! Wish flying were a bit easier. It's a pity I didn't get to see more because I really loved the art style and animations!
@mhykah Too bad that you experienced that. I don't think that it's because your bad, but other people have experienced an issue with the game where it runs faster than it should, making the game impossible. I'm trying to fix the issue at the moment.
@dolleman Please give me a mention when you do! I'd love to come back and check this out again :)
Excellent work! The depth of mechanics is astounding for a 48 hour game. Finding all the ways you can make the little bird go higher with only the few controls was tons of fun. I was also endlessly amused by the level design. I lost it when the little bird hit the switch and dropped me into the spikes, and when I had to bounce it across the bridge on my body to keep it from falling between the blocks. There was no sound, and I take it that your team didn't create the graphics since you excluded it from judging. If it weren't for those factors, I could see this as a threat to win the whole thing.
Also, I didn't personally experience any bugs. I'm on Chrome, could it be browser related? If you don't find n easy solution, you may try switching the physics over to being delta-time based, which would probably solve the speed issues. I'd love to see this game expanded in the future.
This is such a charming game, everything fits together stylistically so well and it feels super well polished. The little guy is so cute and the mother bird's reaction when the little bird falls is hilarious. So much room for potential expansion into more difficult levels too. Absolutely loved it.
@mhykah The issue should be solved now :)
@quinn-patrick Thank you! :D I did make most of the graphics but most of it was not created during the Jam, so that's the main reason I excluded it. I indeed tried to solve the issue using delta time at first, but it gave too much trouble with the gravity. Now I just force the game to not exceed above 60 fps.
This was great! Nice use of the theme and a good twist to the puzzle platform genre. I enjoyed the level design you created to make the mechanics shine.
sweet and fun, missing some sound, but i really like the style and the puzzle genre that you use here
Very cute and lots of fun! I wouldn't have minded a few more levels! But the levels you do have are increasing well in challenge. Great job!
Wow- I clicked on this because of the cover image, looking forward to a simple flappy bird rip off- I was WRONG. This is so good, so well thought out and a great concept. By far- one of my favorites from this jam. My face matched the mother bird's the first time the SPOILER stupid little bird fell and died- OMG. Great animations- cool levels, can't wait to see more! I think this could be a best seller for sure. Great job and thank you so much for the game!
Like other people, I went into this thinking it would be an okay game, but nope this is actually really good! It has the right mix of platforming and puzzles, your level design skills are awesome!
There was a lot more depth to the mechanics of this game than I expected. Not only did you have to control the bird well, but you also had to plan out your movements ahead of time. It looked nice too. I especially liked the mother bird's animation when the baby died. Great job!
Cute little game! I like the lemmings-esque mechanic. Cool level design too. Some of the animations went for a little long and I felt out of control sometimes. Nice work!
Extremely good
This is awesome!!! Really fun and cute af xD
Love the idea, felt like an escort quest but good haha. Really cute art too ! Would love to see this turned into a full game with more levels, audio and even cuter bird !
I felt really bad when the small bird died ðŸ˜... At least until that level, you know the one.
PS: seems like there is an issue with the source code link not working (the URL is still readable though).
Haven't checked the page in a while. Thanks everyone for the nice messages :D !
