I like the music and the visuals. The gameplay idea is overall simple and fun, but it can be really difficult to get three butterflies in the same color. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

gamedevalexandr 2022-04-04 07:21

if it is simple, then the game might become endless :)

Fun little game! The breath metre took a while to get good with, but a great idea!

leviathon 2022-04-04 09:20

overall i thought this game was well rounded. the art was very consistent and the ui was very fitting for the the game feel. you picked the perfect background song for this game and i appreciate the parallax scrolling effect. i think personally the bird strength bar could be improved. possibly add a charge up feature instead of a random strength feature. flowing on from that it would be nice is the strength bar went down relative to the wing strength boost bar. this was an entertaining game to play and it all ties together well to make a decent game.

Nice game, good job. Took a while to understand the breath mechanic

Very well done game, enjoyed the art and even has some Bees in there lol

a good game, I liked it, it's just not stressful, if you want, for example, to add pumping, you can even go to the market with it.

Pretty simple, but challenging game! Getting 3 of the same color was pretty difficult, but felt rewarding. Good job!

Chill game, the music combined with the effects and the sfx makes it feel very polished! I found it quite funny when I crashed and all the feathers started spewing out haha. Overall, I had fun!

Feels super polished! ^_^

ghatazorg 2022-04-04 20:37

Good game, fun and challenging :)

I had fun with this game once I got the hang of it, there was a lot more to keep track of than it seemed at first. I enjoyed the bright aesthetic and the music and sfx went well with the gameplay. The biggest thing that sticks out to me I can criticize would probably be that it feels like you were trying to make a casual, relaxing sort of game and it ended up being actually quite tricky! But I had a good time with it regardless. Maybe for a more laid back feel to the gameplay you could try and use one or two fewer elements, or communicate them in a more concise manner. For example, I had a difficult time keeping track of the breath meter while trying to focus on stamina and movement, and that caused the game's control to feel finicky/inconsistent in a couple of scenarios

It's a really simple but fun game. At the beginning, I thought you had made a flappy bird clone.

aspect-studio 2022-04-05 09:18

A bit repetitive after a time, but good enough to enjoy the ride :) Eating the same color three times in a row seems to do something but I have no idea what "^^

Not the most constructive feedback, but i just like the pun xD

Graphics are pretty basics, but the overall really has a charm Everything works well together

otterfaelure 2022-04-05 10:13

This game definitely has its charm.

I liked the idea of having a variable wing flap based on, something (breathing in/out I believe in this case), but I feel like it was a bit too much on top of the sorting colours challenge on top of the managing wingflaps to food consumption <- changing food consumption levels is very cool though. Perhaps my issue was that a critical piece of knowledge for game mechanics was situated behind the character, when we have to be looking forwards, so it made it feel like flap strength was random as the bar was outside of my focus. I frequently found myself floating *just* above a butterfly that I wanted.

The music was a delight though and it was overall an uplifting feel, despite us slowly starving a bird.

Well done! :D

gamedevalexandr 2022-04-05 10:21

@otterfaelure Very informative feedback. Thanks

A simple but solid jam game. It is a nice twist on the "flappy bird" genre.

The controls feel a bit too sensible for me. Only two short clicks can take the bird to the top of the screen. I would like a bit more control over the bird's position. It took me a long while to understand that the bar behind the bird is actually the flap strength. I like it as a concept but maybe it did not end up working so well in this case. It feels quite random and it can be hard to understand for the player.

Overall, a nice and solid jam game. Could have some potential if you keep developing it after the jam.

Neat game based on flappy bird. Taking three bugs of the same colour seems to difficult and chance based to feel worth it, but the game is fun to play a few of quick games

luis-priego-cuenca 2022-04-05 17:47

Muy buen arte, relajante. Mecánicas agradables de jugar e incluso incentiva el factor riesgo, recompensa al tener que recolectar las mariposas del mismo color. Música increíble y efectos de sonido que lo completan. Pase un buen rato jugándolo.

ashley-watson 2022-04-05 23:38

Very Fun. I really enjoyed playing a few tries Great game.

zachsbutt 2022-04-05 23:43

very cute and simple game, i suppose it would've been nice to see more variety. here's my high score!

gamedevalexandr 2022-04-06 09:14

@zachsbutt Good result, but if you didn't try to collect butterflies of the same color, you could achieve better. one butterfly gives + 10% to strength, if you collect 3 of the same, then another + 30% to strength. If the game gets good ratings, I will make more variety.

zef1r 2022-04-06 11:11

Хорошая, чиловая игра получилась. Лучший мой результат 298 очков. Порадовало, что все работает как надо, менюшечка, музыка хорошо подобрана. Так что было приятно позалипать в игруху.

bananabobbert 2022-04-06 14:55

Pretty good entry, especially considering that it's a solo entry. It's as infuriating as flappy birds as you sail above a butterfly because of panic clicking. Why are bees no food ? :p

annika 2022-04-06 15:00

What a lovely and cute game! I did better when eating all butterflies instead of trying to collect 3 of the same color. The bees are taking a lot of strength. But really fun to play!

mar3k 2022-04-06 15:00

Nice game. Good job.

gamedevalexandr 2022-04-06 15:05

@bananabobbert try to eat a live bee, I think you won't like it :)

gamedevalexandr 2022-04-06 15:13

@annika The goal of the game is not to collect 3 butterflies, but to fly as far as possible. There are moments, if you accidentally collected two butterflies, then you can hunt for the third one and get more strength. Thanks for the feedback

albertoz 2022-04-06 21:29

Very nice all together, well done!

emaigualmc2-art 2022-04-07 01:43

I really liked it, very funny!! I was very sorry when the bird fell to the ground ​​poor!jajaja! I think you can continue working and polishing to make the art more visually appealing, great job!

florian-van-strien 2022-04-07 14:03

Nice game! Some more explanation would be welcome - it took a while to figure out all the mechanics. But after that it was deeper than I thought when I first saw it!

sophie-s 2022-04-08 00:35

247! I really like this game! kind of like flappy bird but have fun in different way. It's really a great game!!!

lvl99chicken 2022-04-08 04:55

Nice twist on flappy birds. I think the flying is bit too sensitive, found myself at top of screen in two flaps. Fun game and good submission!

anaxie-studio 2022-04-08 06:49

Simple, but with some interesting mechanics. Could make a nice mobile game.

phillip-scott 2022-04-08 13:07

280 pretty fun and simple, the ups and downs of the bird could do with some smoothing as it feels a little jerky. but the polish and effects were nice. Good job

lpettler 2022-04-09 18:33

Very solid and fun. Art and visuals are well done. Deeper in gameplay variability than I thought at first, but still a very straight forward game. Great job!
