OMG MY BIRD GOT SO BIG. It becomes a little hard to control after I grab the big pink fish, but I still have a lot of fun playing with the momentum and trying to aim my dives. No clue how real birds manage to do this XD
Very unique idea. Good job!! :v:
Thanks for the feedback! @slimabob It's very encouraging ;)
@the-neon-shark Thx for visiting! btw, your game made my day haha!
Pretty funny simple game. "Excellent!" :)
I became a whale bird. Really cool concept! The controls felt a bit weird at first but was really fun once you got used to it. I think more weight and maybe less acceleration might help the controls feel more responsive. Super cool, great job!
@blanky-and-rocket Nice point there! I guess the controlling really needs some adjustment so it feels more comfortable to play with, which is overlooked after I fit things to the theme. Thx for the feedback! ;)
@eryn Thx for feedback! Should've polish the game more so you could have better experience. It's great you guys like it despite its unpolished state ;)
I really like this concept, and it play well too!! Good job, sad you didn't have time to give the bird some more polish, but other than that congratulation!
Very fun bird controls
This game reminds you that we are lucky to get our food from stores and not get it ourselves :D The quirky controls makes the game fun to play
Seeing the bird inflate cracked me up each time especially the final one was, the controls could use a bit of work for precision but fun overall.
@aerolink Thank you for playing! Yep I get the same feeling that animation and sound should be added for better experience. It's sad that I spent hours trying the procedural animation stuff and failed T^T
@jyrio Thanks for your feedback! Trying to get this dive and bouyancy mechanics work, but guess it could be much better if given more time for tweaking...
@tomtomgome Thx for playing and comment! Mouse control really requires time to polish, maybe next time I'll try keyboard first ;P Besides, being a cat-lover myself, I love your cat game! :)
@rongefilet I'm happy that you enjoyed this game! ;)
This idea is awesome! It was very funny when the bird become gigantic after taking the big fishes. I see that others have already commented on the controls, so another thing that would make the game better would be to sretch the water a bit more so that it doesn't disappear when you dive deep enough. Overall, cool!
@freezerbot Thanks for feedback! I'll patch the water up next, good point :)
It was funny when I fell under the water layer
The controls were a little bit awkward but overall I really liked the take on the theme. Well done!
Nice games I had a fun time grandma did too x).
Had fun with the game, would have liked to have at least some control in the water though. wasn't sure if it was supposed to stop at the 3rd tier of fish, but I took that as a win! Thanks for the game.
@corruptor2037 Haha nice point there! I should've put a collision boundary there for realistic sake :D
@mandarad Thanks for your feedback! Now every time I replays my own game, I come to realize that the controlling issue that you guys mentioned couldn't be more true haha. Shall spend some time to rework on the controlling later
@eugenik Thank you for playing! It's my honor that your grandma like this game ;)
@sacredbacon Yep the 3rd fish is the final one. Thanks for beating this game! :D
Curious mechanic, expecting a second version
Surprisingly fun! Wishing there was some more work done on the aesthetics of the game but the base really has great potential.
@gyemelmor Thx for playing! Yep I will give it a remake when I got time (as a game programmer in big company I have little time to do my own game programming, true story T^T)
@tevasliutauras Thanks for the feedback! Indeed the game is too rough to be enjoying for now, and it will probably need a decent rework :)
Может это пеликан? Может это чайка? Кто же это - такой большой и сильный? Может это слон с крыльями и клювом? Так или иначе, он очень голоден, и готов съесть кита! Забавная игра ^_^
Fun! I ate the biggest fish!
The controls get harder as the fish get bigger.
I grew a very BIG bird! Bigger thanmya screen!!!
@xpoho спасибо за отзыв! В моем представлении эта птица, вероятно, представляет собой журавля с красной короной, однако по графике это сложно сказать.:)
@andrewaprice Thanks for playing! Yes as the game proceeds the mass and strength of the bird changes, but it hasn't been tweaked very well. Some efforts are needed for better implementation of the controls.
Hi I just finished your game. The main mechanic is quite fun! It reminds me of a game I used to love called Feeding Frenzy. The camera zooming out as you go up is a nice touch too! One piece of feedback is that it wasn't quite clear how height impacted my diving depth vs. body size, so I ended up just usually going for shallowish fish. Also it would be cool if the light blue line of water extended as you grew as a sort of depth predictor. Anyway, I really enjoyed your game, congrats on finishing it, and thanks for making it!
With these abstract graphics the game feels kind of surreal xD The rough mechanics make this actually interestingly challenging. I really enjoyed playing it :D
All of us sometimes this bird. Wery fun game
Honestly, I did not expect much when I downloaded this. I WAS WRONG. Its really fun to play with the mechanic.
