Very funny game! Sound "ehhh" is the best for all gamedev! xD My record 28 ft. Using microphone is interacting idea.
I got this same idea in the brainstorming phase!
But the use of microphone as the input is crazy! Nice job :)
Omg!!!! Sooo cool game!! Great idea, graphic and mood! I really have fun to play this game)) thank you))
Hahaha what a fantastic submission!!! This is definitely the funniest game I've played yet and executed super well. Catch me in my room alone bleating into my mic :joy:
Great idea to use the voice as input, though all the shouting makes it a bit exhausting to play for to long. ;-)

really funny game and great idead to use the microphone for the balancing. I had lot of fun playing it. At somepoint i just burst into laughter because i was making soooo weird noises :D my neighbours think iam crazy now. I hope you don't record the audio, haha
F@(^ing b*rds ruining my balance! Really like the concept, very funny.
I'm out of breath now (^w^'). Interesting use of the mic (^w^)

Oh, saw a [very similar game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/unicycle-balancing) a while ago, you should check it. I laughed with the title, concept anyway good and corresponds to theme
Very nice!
The sound effects are pure gold xD
Very fun!! I am within 20 minutes say "AAAaaaAAAaaaa". Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Good job!
I have been playing this for like 15 minutes and my head hurts from blowing into the mic. My highscore is 47.
And F%$K those birds.
hahaha fun game. Got some strange looks from my wife whilst playing this! Cute art and sound too. Fun entry :) good job
OOOOoOOOoooooohhh!! AAAAAhhh!!! ..... Oh! Oh! Oh! Ooooohooooo! :microphone: :laughing: I'm dying.
This is so great. Thank you for that experience. Had a blast. But after 32ft my journey was over :smile: What a gem!
I LOVE the concept. Great job !!!! Really hard!
This game is hilarious, both from the concept and from the fact that I know I look like an idiot blowing air into my microphone from an inch away. I kept giving up and laughing at around 10 feet into it, and just watched the poor gymnast fall to his death.
Very unique. I feel like blowing into the microphone used to be a common mechanic in Nintendo DS games, but not on other platforms (I guess because most platforms besides Desktop don't have a microphone?). Anyways, it does kinda feel like you really are blowing on the character. Maybe the feeling would be enhanced a bit if the direction matched (i.e. if the gymnast was tipping towards you)? But that would be less visually clear gameplay-wise, so maybe just ignore me.
I'm so glad I got a new microphone so I didn't have to use the inbuilt one on the top of my laptop's monitor.
Novel idea using the microphone for the control. I only got a PB of 27ft, after all the attempts to get even that far I'm too light headed to continue. I'll see about getting a new PB later.
Nice title! haha Man, I would never came up with an idea that uses the mic as input! Very creative!
I put my mic in but I don't know if its just something I'm doing wrong or my setup but I couldn't get the mic part to work. But based on what I have seen it does look an interesting game and it did make me laugh when he fell off hahaha
Really Fun game! i play with a friend and we laugh really loud jajaj. Good work!
Great idea! So much fun to play. "No no no no, F%$#in Bird!" and next try=)
Эх, если бы этот гимнаст мог стать программистом. Ему не пришлось бы рисковать своей жизнью ради тренировок. И не нужно было выступать в цирке. Но жизнь гимнаста - не жизнь программиста. Приходится идти на риск.
Спасибо!
This is fun! Cool idea and very well implemented. My neighbours now think I am crazy. Little thing for extended version: The guy falls to the left and shouting brings him to the right. Feels a bit asymmetric, any idea how to make it more symmetric?
very fun and addicitve! Games that use shouting into a microphone as mechanic just never get old!
thanks for you feedback everyone!
@d3kryption there should be a warning visible in the instruction screen if no microphone was found - if a microphone is found when the game starts, you can also hear yourself & see visual feedback. otherwise, you might want to check your systems settings for the microphone
@itzemii thanks! the initial idea was to use different pitches of the voice to go left/right, but it was too difficult to use, so we simplified it. (I could think of 1-2 other possibilities, but you can only do so much in a gamejam)
Haha funny birb game! No seriously, this is a top notch humor game.
Hahah very fun little game, enjoyed it. Although if I didn't move my mic closer to my mouth my neighbors probably wouldn't have liked it as much
A mic-input sensitivity slider would be nice. The limiting factor in my high score was running out of breath and getting light headed.
Wow, this is SUCH a unique mechanic! The vibe of the game is funky and cute, and it's goofy enough to justify the concept but still solid enough to be invested in what's going on. One thing I'd suggest: perhaps have some kind of visual on screen to give some more concrete visual feedback as to how much noise the mic is actually picking up? You know, like one of those "how strong are you" carnival game things that gives you a better sense off the bat of how much you need to adjust. Very interesting and enjoyable game, regardless!
Such a fun concept! The microphone controls are a great take to make it feel more unstable. My dog went crazy from all the sounds I made haha!
I like the aesthetic a lot, it was full of character.
very cool game. I liked the sounds and graphics. good job
I'm not sure if the game wasn't recognizing my mic or something, but nothing I did seemed to have an effect :\ It looks like a really unique idea though.
Good idea, but didn't play for a long time, because I'm afraid that neighbors might come :D
The idea was cool, but it's not so well executed. I think with more time you guys can improve it very much.
Strange but innovative! It was buggy for me but because I have a bad mic
Cool concept and funny audio! Constantly yelling and blowing into the mic got exhausting but I am happy to have experienced this.
