i loved this game! <3

Pretty fun game. I really like the way is looks. All of the levels were a bit too simple, though. It would have been fun to see this idea explored a bit more.

Great little game. Visually very pleasing. It looks polished and I could not find any bugs while playing. It also makes your brain work which is nice and shows good balance. What I would improve is the resolution of the bird sprite, I think the pixels on the edge are too visible. Other than that I don't feel the theme here.

Very polished and relaxing experience. Good puzzles, great input feedback. The only thing I can say is I wish I could go to the next level with a key like spacebar (if there is one I couldn't find it).

Overall, great game! I enjoyed it :)

Wow this felt really well made. The idea is pretty unique and the puzzles were pretty good. I have some things I would maybe change, if you ever want to improve it. Getting the obvious out of the way, ADD MORE LEVELS. This was a super short and polished experience, and if you ever want to sell this commercially or something, it needs levels. I think one of the problems that I had was that the levels felt too random to me, like I kinda just swiped randomly and it worked. That's honestly about it. The graphics were top notch, and so was the audio. Great job! If this were a commercial game I would probably get it. It would be a great mobile game.

Really polished and fun, one issue I noticed is that if the blocks fly out of the nest, they don't return on Ctrl+Z

Really nice short game! I didn't think there were too few levels, I found it a really nice number, really something that demonstrated the idea well! I liked the attention to detail in the animation really really nice. I think at the beginning, a little indication that you're trying to get the bird out the hole would be nice.

Loved the art style of this game and there were some well made puzzles in there. Good entry!

Bloody hell this was a good game. It's got so much polish and the puzzle design was so incredibly well thought through. Usually puzzle games in game jams are really short but this was a good amount of just quality levels. Gameplay was simple but allowed for some really nice puzzles. Incredible work, hope y'all win.

Very polished! The puzzles were well designed and satisfying to solve. I really liked the artwork for the title and level select screens. The only negative feedback I have is that after I finished the 8th level, I didn't realize that the game was over and was a bit confused; a victory screen or "thanks for playing!" message would clear that up though. Overall I liked it a lot!

All puzzle games should have CTRL-Z as undo. It's great. the blur as the boxes move is lovely, and the puzzles step up in a decent difficulty level. I got stuck on level 5 for a little while.

Also the cute bird eye blinking at you is great and a nice little bit of extra interest. Good job!

cool little game. great feedback on everything

Very well polished game. I liked the cuteness of the graphics, kept me going through all the levels. Really thought the whole chill vibe was great, suited it nicely

This had the feeling of a very highly polished game. Great work.

kowara 2021-10-09 04:37

Very lovely game, highly polished and cute graphics--the bird blinking is adorable! The audio is effective and gives the game a relaxing mood. The Ambience volume adjuster in the Settings is a nice touch too, since I've never really seen that in a game before; ambiences are usually combined with SFX, I think.

The gravity system is simple yet fun, and very easy to learn. With more levels, this can be a commercial (mobile?) game--probably with more mechanics besides the blocks? I never really used the Undo and Redo function, though--I just reset everything to the start if I mess up, haha!

Love the art style and the puzzles are really nice! Just a nice and cute game!

Good work!

const-arch 2021-10-11 22:56

Great job! The UI looked great, the puzzles were a good difficulty level, and everything felt smooth. One of my favorites so far this LD.

svntax 2021-10-12 03:11

Really nice puzzle design! The difficulty curve felt right to me, and the game is well polished overall.

vladlawrence 2021-10-12 18:48

Wow! I had a lot of fun playing) And it was quite challenging to pass all 9 nests) Great idea and realization))

leyamez 2021-10-13 01:40

Was so cute! I thought the UI and MOST of the art was stunning! felt the game levels themselves lacked the same polish as everything else but still really cool :)

villeloso 2021-10-13 02:06

Addicting, but what was unstable?

defectivemelon 2021-10-13 02:18

@villeloso The idea we had was that gravity is unstable, so the rocks and bird were flying around because of that, definitely could've been communicated better/leaned into though

Polish was amazing! Art and sound were great, and I do love me some block-based puzzles so it was right up my alley :) The game was great, so my criticism will be a little nitpicky: - It would be nice to have some juice at the end of the game, just a "you win" screen would be enough - The controls were pretty good, but they felt (and looked) kind of optimised for mobile. I imagine the arrow keys could be replaced by directional swipes. In particular, having to use my mouse for level switching was a bit weird, would be nice to just press space or something.

kvebox 2021-10-13 23:29

@wheybags you caught me haha! I was absolutely designing for mobile first; that's on me 😅. thank you for taking the time to play and for your feedback!

Nice little puzzle game. Got through it pretty quickly but it was pretty enjoyable. Having the crown system for doing less moves was a nice touch.

animawish 2021-10-20 03:47

really nice game! excellent style and vibe, and a neat puzzle concept
