Super cute! Love the minimal story, the adorable characters and the cohesive theme. <3

This is such a good idea. I loved it. Great job!

The game's artwork is both adorable and impressive, with colorful and detailed character designs. It has an interesting mechanic, I wish I could see more of my surroundings, though!

Very funny, cute little game! I loved the art and how the letter was one of those fill in the blank worksheets a teacher would do during dismissal in elementary school. Love this game

stephanie-hansen 2023-05-02 03:18

I love the art and the concept of running into things for words. Adorable characters and vibe; great job!

adam-klein 2023-05-02 04:12

Great music, great art, great vibes.

The opening cutscene are is very cute. Gameplay concept is interesting. It seems probably impossible to craft an actually coherent letter, which I guess is the point? Interesting entry.

Great game, great art and sound. Potentially could be more compelling if earlier letters were simpler i.e. just 5 items needed to complete so there is a reward earlier on.

sweedy 2023-05-02 11:47

Game intro created as a bunch of gifs is chilling af and arts are kinda astonishing <3

raindrinker 2023-05-02 11:48

Very interesting! Artstyle si super cute and nice, and the gameplay is wonky in a very endearing way, with you writing a nonsense letter. Made me worry she would not like it but na, alls good, which is really cute. Incredible artistic job!

While the intro was lovely, I found the gameplay to be quite bold. However, it was also a bit heavy on the cognitive load, which made it challenging to fully enjoy. Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort and creativity put into the game and commend the team for their hard work.

Great work! Tha art was beautiful and the story so cute. I love your first cutscene, realy nice! Fun to play and a little be addictive? I wanted to see the last cutscene :tongue: :smile:

midna 2023-05-02 18:28

Super cute. The art is adorable. I loved how they represented the theme. It definitely has potential to even be an educational game. I also loved the intro scene. I was able to complete the mission after stumbling a few times (I felt bad for my bird), but that didn't make me want to stop playing, on the contrary I wanted to finish the card and turn it in. <3

swen 2023-05-02 18:31

Lovely game, also had a good laugh at the letter I wrote :laughing: . One thing that was hard for me what the movement, I kept missing items and then would have to make a painfully slow turn (or circle around it like the noob I am :grin: ). Also loved the eye for detail (e.g. the letter turning 'nicer' or 'worse' depending on the words you collect).

Amazing job!

adele-illustration 2023-05-02 18:46

I loved the concept of this game, trying to find words to complete the letter! Also special mention to the animation when the bird gets hit, that was amazing lol.

I had a bit of trouble with the speed, it was much too fast for me so I always had the slow down button firmly pressed. I also didn't know how you could choose/change words at will so it ended up being kind of random and hoping for the best.

Also my bird started writing a sexy letter saying he feels girthy thinking about her, lol.

Sidenote i got stuck in the trees at the top of the map, by mistake I flew into it and then I was stuck in the middle of them and couldn't escape (I was being pushed back when trying to go back out).

Overall a really cute experience and a nice discovery for this jam!!

aaronkaa 2023-05-02 19:32

Great game with great music. The controls are a bit weird. It is confusing that the turning is gives the character speed, and that the back and forward is relative to the bird not the camera.

tofucat 2023-05-02 19:51

"I dream of you grasping my thorn" is a sentence I never thought I would say. Really great, original game. I had a lot of fun! The letters I was creating were really silly and funny. The controls were really easy.

jkyd 2023-05-02 21:34

Very cute! Love the mad-libs component, but the intro stills really take the cake :)

blank-3d 2023-05-03 09:14

overall super cute drawings, the story is very well delivered. I really liked the different end screens.

samoussa 2023-05-03 16:40

What a cute little game this is! I loved the intro animations, and it well drawn and very adorable. The little heart-shaped bird-tail was also a nice touch! Overall, the mood and graphics were cute! I loved my letters! Congratulations!

bashem 2023-05-03 23:47

Thanks for reviewing our game!

Very nice concept, also artwork and music are cute and comfy. There's room for a great post-jam version in my opinion. For instance, if I'm not missing something about the current version, you might try to define some advanced game dynamics where the player has an active role in determining the quality of the letter. Also I'd perhaps speed the bird up a little bit, increase the turning angle and add a score.

Anyway, nice work!

agersant 2023-05-04 06:38

Very cute! I liked the chill vibe and no-fail-state exploration.

rigel 2023-05-04 06:52

Cuuuuuuute!My letter is so funny and silly XD.

darchankaen 2023-05-04 07:38

Nice cute game with interesting mechanic idea! In final, my letter variant made me laugh. =)

boeruchan 2023-05-04 10:26

Funny concept, and loved the artwork :) I love the scentence it made -> Please wilt soon! Made me giggle

manogugas 2023-05-04 11:53

The artwork is great, music is too, also quite funny. Maybe the flying could be a bit more eventfull.

goddoesplaydice 2023-05-04 11:55

I especially liked the fact that you can fly in reverse and the music

dan-allison 2023-05-04 11:59

I can tell that a lot of work went into this, it's really great. Looks fantastic, especially the cutscenes, really nice music, genuinely funny too (Though a lot of that was due to me putting "girthy" in different places) and a fun take on sending a letter. Building it up yourself is really clever and definitely have me some interesting combinations!

bastilo 2023-05-04 12:03

Cute little game, I like the idea. But I had no idea which items lead to good words and which to bad ones.

floralvikings 2023-05-04 12:08

Laughed out loud at my result but didn't think to take a screen capture

akromaly 2023-05-04 14:02

Cute idea, even though it's pretty hard to actually write a good letter lol. If you just play it for the goof you can get some hilarious results ("take a dump" is so phenomenal in many ways) but trying to do it seriously gets a little difficult since you have no control over how words are placed. Wholesome game tho!

yumykon 2023-05-04 14:30

That’s a cute game! I loved the cutscene art, and the music during gameplay is very lovely! I admit I had a little trouble with the controls during gameplay, but overall, great job! Congratulations on the game (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b

mar-zockmeister 2023-05-04 17:34

Very fun game, nice idea and lovely graphics. It would be cool to see the letter in the end when you have delivered it. I forgot to look it when I was searching for my dove. :smiley:

mercilesscult 2023-05-04 20:29

This was such a sweet and cute game, loved the idea and the art at the start was adorable! I think you did great and I hope Pijin will be happy forever ♥

bea 2023-05-05 03:13

This was really delightful! I haven't bumped into a game yet during this jam that I felt really compelled to work to do really well in, but I kept flying around and around on a second try to put together a perfect note. Lovely work, GG.
