Fun Game!

The birds are really hard to dodge, for the falcon you basically have no chance :D

The sound effects are really funny!

obraz_2020-10-05_162228.png Yay!

It's fun, but way to hard, avoiding the birds is mostly luck. The music is fun to listen to, it doesn't get frustrating after a while. Also, I like the lore in the description, it adds a lot to this game. <3

Nice classic mechanics. I could use some clue on when and where the birds are showing up

szatku 2020-10-07 21:55

Very classic mechanics. As previously mentioned - clue would be good, but I think, only for when and type of bird. I don't know but i have flashback from Flappy Bird... Maybe I'm weird.

Nice, I liked how the branches work and the sounds the squirrel would make. It was very difficult. I am amazed someone got 57. The birds feel random, an audio/visual cue would be helpful.

Great work on the title screen!

Yo this game is amazing, the bird sounds are so good. Scared the crap out of me the first time

I really enjoyed the audio. I do agree with the other comments that it's not really possible to react to the birds fast enough to dodge them, although it did seem like there were spots on the screen that I could stay where the birds never crossed (around midway down and to the left), but that could have just been chance. Well done!

What an incredible game! I loved it, great job

haha nuts

Nice game, though the birds and branches came in a bit too fast and didn't give you a chance to dodge.

gamechoy 2020-10-10 15:25

Fun entry! The concept was pretty amusing and the gameplay as well! I personally didn't have too much trouble dodging the birds, however the branches were another story. Maybe some kind of warning system for both would be a good idea. Other than that nice work!

nice work here, congratulations!

Really delightful sound and animations. I laughed at the yelping squirrel when I got grabbed by a bird. I do wish avoiding branches/birds felt less random. Maybe a taller aspect ratio would help that.

Nice game!

zacharieg 2020-10-11 17:06

Nice game ! The obstacle come really fast, that's a pity but I had fun ! (you menu is also very cool)

bassguitarbill 2020-10-11 18:37

LOL'd when I got taken the fuck out by a cardinal.

I love simple arcades games like this!

I think that the branches should kills you too. or at least make you lose nuts.

also the nuts coming from the top feels a little weird. you kinda lose the possibility to implement that risk and reward thing where you can speed up to get more point or slow down to be safe. and the speeding up overtime.

like the others have said, dodging the bird seems to be more of a luck thing. I think if there was an indication, like a arrow, telling where they will be coming from, we would at least have a fighting chance.

it's a pretty funny game too.

cosmicpickle 2020-10-13 13:37

Really nice entry. Everything is a bit too fast paced at times and I feel I have no time for reaction. But the game is funny and entertaining, the sound effects and music are nice. Overall a very good game.

I'm that squirrel.

mikoziq 2020-10-13 20:02

DAMN this game is hard!!!

I love the cute-murder execution of the falling squirell. Poor guy, he died so many times.

As other have already said, the birds are crazy fast and there's almost no way to react to them. Hell, I have been saved twice by hitting a branch and slowing down, when suddenly Hawk appeared out of nowhere in the spot where I have just been!

My highscore was 20 and I wanted to play more. It's such demanding and hard, yet very addicting!

Good job!

misterm 2020-10-15 16:42

Nice game, the top to down direction is different for the usual game where the player goes up..after a little bit you get habits of it. The birds are too fast to avoid them..For the rest good Job.

konrad 2020-10-15 17:15

Really fun idea, the animations and sound effects of the squirrel are super cute! The audio on the bird chirp sound was way too loud and shrill in my opinion, my ears exploded even though I already highly lowered my system volume.

geckoo1337 2020-10-16 20:21

Hello. As you say - you did something simple, but really addictive. Maybe too hard for me, but I loved gameplay. Squirel is fun. Thank you for this little casual game. I had fun playing. Also thank you for your feedback. Well done ++

Fun game but a bit hard :laughing:

[Thanks for submitting this to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/780628065?t=01h01m17s)

As we've probably already said already, we really had fun with this one. We do wish that the birds gave us a little more warning when they were about to attack, but we loved the way the chaotically careened across the screen a high velocities. Really adds to the hectic nature of everything as a whole. :smile:
