Loved pooping on that guys head. Terrific entry
Great game, I had a lot of fun playing it! It's a shame that it was so short though.
I love the aesthetics and the music is pretty fitting. The pooping mechanic is a fun twist, very unique. :D The flapping was a bit finicky but very good overall.
Great work! Love the hats I also like that it was a Pico8 entry
Cute and funny, I couldn't seem to get the hats though, but I was probably doing something wrong haha
@rustywolf Thanks!
@joaosilva22 Thanks! Yeah... I had to come up with something very simple for this LD, because I didn't have a ton of time to work on it. I had hoped to add some depth with like different birds with different abilities (like cluster poops, other things, I don't know), but most of it was a last minute scramble because I spent too long adding hats :laughing:
@remus Thanks! I had higher hopes for the music, but I pared it down because I ran out of time haha! I think the flapping still needs some tweaking... overall though it's roughly what I had in my head for an approximation of bird flight, without actually learning how flight works haha
@bayousoftware Thanks!! That was my goal going in, just make something in Pico8, because Pico8 is awesome! Glad I spent extra time making the hats: probably should have spent extra time on like the gameplay part, but like how could I not get distracted by making birds wear little top hats haha
@payaosito Thanks! You basically just need to press down to land right on the hats (or pretty close to them), and not like fly through them (flying through them doesn't do anything because I'm only checking for collision on landing)
0 poops dropped, 0 hats collected - GREAT JOB :joy:
Funny thing is that whenever I thought about delivery, my second though were pooping birds. 1st world's problems right?
- Pico entry is always cool - Really dig the design, especially that the bird is quite detailed! - A music in compo entry is always a + - Cool, fun and quick with more than 1 objective
A bit confusing controls at first (especially the gravity), but I enjoyed it overall. Good pooping job!
@mikoziq Thanks!! It was literally my first thought when I saw the theme. I didn't have a lot of time to work on it this time, so I was like, "Birds pooping on people's heads: that's dumb, let's do it" haha
I got caught with the controls whenever I was testing as well, but I think for me that's part of the appeal, like it feels a little more like I think a bird would fly. I had this flight mechanic in my head for a long time, so when you hit the left/right to glide you would fly faster if you are falling faster because you put your wings out to catch the air. I'm not sure if it actually makes sense though, and I think I need to expand it in a game that is more about exploration than targeting, because I think gaining a lot of speed and then blasting through an interesting city would be awesome.
Glad you like the bird!! Definitely what I spent the most time on haha!
This was a fun take on the idea. Pico-8 is a clean and smooth aesthetic.
I liked to play the game couple times. Fun to play and who doesn't like to deliver something special as a bird?
Cool game! I really like the 8-bit audio & visuals. Gameplay works really well, fun and fits the theme. Congrats!
@team-watt Thanks! Though some of that clean aesthetic is me not leaving enough time to replace my filler graphics hahaha
@serialkamikaze Haha thanks!
@thomas-bringer Thanks! Pico-8 makes it really easy to get cohesive 8-bit audio/visual/feel (mostly really easy anyway haha)!
This was hilarious! it's almost even funnier when I fail to hit my target and instead get someone else. Good job making the most of this Ludum Dare's theme!
Nice game! I really liked your take on the theme, and the short reason before each mission. The hat mechanic was also quite cool - I'm just sad that stacking hats doesn't actually stack them but replaces the current hat as well. The game is pretty short, but trying to not poop on innocents is quite challenging, which adds a lot of replay value trying to get a perfect score. I didn't understand how to collect the airborne hats, but otherwise, great entry!
:laughing: Very fun concept! Good work!
Hahah this is gold! The hats are a fun easter egg, and the whole story is nice and simple "poop on this guys head", no more, no less :laughing: I wish there were more levels
@ddesigndude Thanks!! I tried to make the sound effect sound like an angry person haha!
@frogman Stacking hats!! I'm definitely adding that, that's brilliant! The airborne hats are definitely a bug, potentially only in the web build as I don't think I saw it when I was testing locally. Thanks!
@gonzo13 Thanks!
@wouter52 Definitely aimed to keep it simple this time, since I didn't have a lot of time! Yeah, different cities would be great! Thanks!
Delightful little game. Looking really nice, and it feels quite polished for compo. Well done !
Always love the pico 8 aesthetic. Was a little bit dissapointed that aftet hitting my targt that was it and there wasn't some sort of progression to keep the game going :( . Short and sweet i guess. The bird physics felt a bit weird, but ok. I couldn't understand how to collect the hats never seemed to be able to pick them up. Liked the visual polish on the title screen in general. Appreciated a bit of chippy pico 8 music and sfx too. Nice.
