This is so much fun to play! I love how chaotic it gets once you have more than a few of the small birds stealing the worms. Brilliant work! :D

This is so much fun to play! I love how chaotic it gets once you have more than a few of the small birds stealing the worms. Brilliant work! :D
Took me a moment to get the hang of it, but this was a super cute game! I would like one of those big birbs in my garden.
Not gonna lie but this is one of the best games if played in this jam. It is SOO GOOD! It gets so tense when you get like 5 birds stealing your worms!
I like the idea and how polished this game is, however, control scheme, from my view is a little bit awkward. You could use space and shift for some actions.
I've loved to smash all the tinys birds. Fun to play !
I like the concept of the game. Its like opposite of those games where you have to keep the sheep in.. tho this art style doesn't appeal to me that much, it was very well polished. Good entry, not my favorite playstyle but no denying it is the result of good coding.
First of all, I think the game looks fantastic! I mean, everything, the music, the audio, the graphics. What a great job! The only real downside I expected was the controls. I felt the "J" and "K" were probably not the best options for the only 2 action keys in the game. However, I do intend to play this game a little more during some of my free time. So consider that a compliment! Great work, hope to see your next game soon.
Great little game! I feel like I'm bad at it but it's very cute and engaging.
My worms are like arrows. I like it interesting game. The art is very pleasing to look at. Good Job.
This was really fun to play! I enjoyed the graphics, sounds and general feel and mood of the game. I wasn't very good at the game though haha! xx
So cool logo! Honestly, it was hard to understand all the buttons. Couldn't read and play) overall impressions are very positive, after a few times I still understood how to move small birds)
Finally got around to rating and playing after Almighty games stream (ugh 4:00AM when that stopped) Personally, i think this is one of the best Ludum dare games I've played so far, but i still have some critiques.
First of, unlike him i don't find J and K bad, however they are a bit unconventional which is probably why it was so weird for him. I think you should keep J and K but also add some more conventional game keys on top of it.
Second, I have no idea how to rebuild the fences, i managed it once somehow, but there too much going on to test controls and keep the birbs alive at the same time.
Third, you should to add a penalty to letting one of the birds die, or a reward for keeping them both up. Often times the optimal strategy it to let one die and focus on the other as there isn't enough worms for both.
Forth, i have a bit of a leg up here due to the stream, but you should make your controls separate from the game itself, or give the player more time to figure them out before throwing them in the deep end. Almighty is right that they go away too fast.
Overall, i think the art is great, the gameplay is fun, the music fits the mood. Not much more to want
@wolfier wowie you're up late!! Haha ty for the feedback I agree with you on all of it, we could do some hot fixes after the jam is over based off the feedback given
Want to note though for anyone reading that when one big birb dies the other starts to lose health by abt 2x the normal amt
Ty for playing!! Will check out yours later tonight
Great work, visuals and presentation were solid. I think i may have had a bug, almost sounded like the music was playing twice over itself.
But well done!
i like the idea
I like the concept but it gets way too difficult way too early. I'm barely able to feed one bird, no way I can feed two. Also, interesting death animation for the bird :thinking: But the look of the game is nice. So apart from the difficulty you did a good job!
@sheepolution yes I agree have tinkered w the worm spawn rate offline
Challenging game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/jKms-qsuTgw
Fun game! I enjoyed it and quickly got used to the 8-directional aiming! The graphics were great as was the audio. Movement was smooth and sort of reminded me of Overcooked (especially the dust trail). I liked how you had to feed two big birds and how the fence you were protecting actually had a function; protecting an easier path for the enemies! The enemies locked onto you so your 8-directional aiming worked well. As for constructive feedback, maybe some difficulty options that allow more lives, and, while all the mechanics (wood, fixing fence etc) were great, maybe something that eases you into balancing them all at one (again, a difficulty mode could suffice here). I found that this game was quite fun, and replayable, so good job! Overall, great game! well done!
very fun
cute game!
I like that ammo and food are the same thing. The game also plays awesomely and the cute graphics fit perfectly. I only disliked that you basically loose once the small birds reach the field, because then they block your ammo. Or maybe I just sucked at the game :smile:
I knew it would happen some day... I don't think I can compete with @jupiter-hadley , but maybe my longer gameplay session can give you some additional insights :sweat_smile: https://youtu.be/mqW8ggFoR_Q
@rialgar Thanx for playing!! Dash kills enemies also!!!
@saucygames well that is good to know :laughing:
It's very cute! Great graphics and game play! Nice work!
hey very good looking game. I like the cartoony art style. Game should have a tutorial of sort takes a bit time to get hang of things or maybe I am a b it slow. Audio is a bit repetitive else was fun to hear sounds. its one of a kind in here so good potential to become something bigger :)
Haha this was cute. I like the art style. Thought I could kill enemies with dash, and thought I could feed the birds with throw at first. But then realized it was the other way around. I like the fast paced arcadey nature. Good work
@rosypenguin you can kill enemies with dash!! its actually the best way lol you can also feed the big birbs with throw haha thanks for playing
