Love the cute little dodo guy and the fun facts! Gameplay was fun and audio pretty funky. Overall great game!

:) Very fun game! I liked the random Dodo facts. The art is very fun and cute! The mechanics are simple, but work well! The music and sounds are very good.

Nice look. But I was having trouble controlling DoDo. A little tutorial directly in the first session would have helped. But I understand that you wouldn't have enough time for that.

Cute game! I liked the variety of situations and interactions you have. The art is cute and sound effect are fun. The dodo facts after each death is a nice touch. Well done!

@andrey-zhukov That's part of the magic! You don't actually control Dodo... he's too eclectic for that! Have you ever met a dodo before - they're cray cray! :D

Love the artwork and music of the game!

I like that the dodo is so oblivious that you need to watch every single step and make sure it doesn't die.

Good job to all those involved!

Those assets and the songs are great!

Graphics are great! I spoted the Ice Age easter egg! Only complain is i want more tigers, they are gorgeous!

This was really fun and addicting to play! Loved the art and audio, overall great job!

The art is cohesive and the gameplay loop is fun for sure, there's just enough variety in the way you deal with obstacles to keep it engaging, and the dodo facts are definitely a nice bit of polish. Very nice!

Very cool! Love the art and the variety of gameplay mechanics, found the bridge the trickiest obstacle. Great work :)

Nice game , like the facts when you die.

diccuric-sigeon 2022-04-06 07:07

cool art and music

Nice visuals and palette. Pretty cool mechanic. I did fly away a few times (as mentioned in bugs) but still fun playing. Didn't know I liked dodos so much :)

Very pretty! Placing the bridge in the right spot was kinda hard. Nice addition with the dodo facts in the gameovoer screen :smiley:

This was SO fun!! I definitely improved, but the river was my downfall. :sob: The art is fantastic, and the music loop is perfect! I feel like this could be really well adapted to a tablet or mobile game, like Tiny Wings? So fun and so great!

ETA the Dodo Facts are hilarious and a super polished add-on to this game. Love the detail.

This game was great! Loved the music and the concept, ran into a couple bugs and some of the sfx were a little loud here and there but MAJOR and once I realised that I didn't have any control over the Dodo, it made things a ton easier! Great stuff!

sillyman987 2022-04-06 14:13

Very funny! I loved the game and how you had to save the last dodo! 10/10!

Great game! I love the random facts about dodos :smile: It is also cool that you do not control dodo but the environment. Though this leads to some frustration when dodo does not use the fallen tree to cross the river or when dodo gets hit by the boulder despite it looking like dodo is a meter await from the boulder. But these issues are actually pretty minor

This is very cute! As someone who grew up with a lot of dodo t-shirts from a Mauritian family member, this was a nice throwback... I don't know if their taste for melon is scientific fact or Ice Age fact, but I'll accept it. The dodo trivia was a nice touch! I wish there was some animation when you scare off the tigers, and I also encountered a bug twice: when you hit Replay, sometimes the dodo no longer animates and just moves off the edge of the map. Congrats on the release!

Really cool little game, really got me stick to the monitor for more time that I'd want :D The take on the theme is surely very unique and fun, and the levle of polish is insane (thanks for all the dodo facts!) Solid entry!
