Nice entry! Was fun to slowly build up the number of birds - it would be nice if the detection of the paths was a bit snappier. I wanted to draw them very quickly but sometimes they didn't register very well and it slowed me down a bit. Cute art btw!

I'm getting file not found on your download link

Hmm I couldn't get this to work, the game would load up with some animations but I didn't know what to do, clicking on things did nothing and keyboard wasn't useful. The artwork looked pretty nice though.

Pretty fun!

The game breaks on the tutorial, and without it I did not understand how to play

@mr-danh Thanks for notifying us, it should be fixed now!

cleoh 2023-05-03 13:07

@denissobolev @rohanmoon We now have a (very) simple tutorial in the form of a GIF and a written explanation in the description. Thanks for trying anyway!

The game was really cool! I really liked the artwork and the gameplay was very chaotic.

Good job!

First 5 o' 5 in all categories. We love the music, art and mechanics. This is a hard game, that hard to make you suffer in all of good senses. Thank you for this game!

Pretty fun puzzle game with cute style and nice blue bird (I`m not talking to you, Twitter, no). I thought that it`s one of these games, that`s easy to learn – hard to master. Maps become more complex, days become harder. Sometimes the line was acting in a strange way and drew in a loops, that I didn`t want to create – and it even cost me some deliveries. But overall – good work!

Really cool little game, and even without the tutorial I understood quickly ! I liked the effort you put into drawing the buildings, and segment challenges by gradually adding components. (I think you already know it but the sound when you buy a new bird is really high !!) GG

@sylf Thanks a lot for your complete comment, we are glad you had fun despite the bugs (Normally a lot of them are fixed in the itch version). And yes, the bird... I realized by drawing it that there is a "teeny tiny" resemblance, but I just hoped no one would notice it haha xD

fun game that got real frantic as time went on, very nice.

The art is amazing, impressed that you're able to do that amidst a game jam! Appreciate how you taken the time to add a difficulty scale. congrats on finishing the game!

It's a cute delivery game. This game has a ton of features, such as a day-night cycle, difficulty level, and cute artwork, which makes it quite amazing. I like your idea. Great game! :)

An overall very nice entry! Idea was great and well-executed, graphics were cute and polished and music was fitting. I do think however that the gameplay can get a bit repetitive and that there is a point where the game just starts putting in too many orders and becomes a bit overwhelming. I would've also liked the map to have a more equal amount of warehouses (as at some point there was 1 worm merchant for 3 water warehouses and 3 bakeries) and I also had no reason to reach for certain far away warehouses. I also encountered a few bugs with the UI not updating correctly and houses spawning in unreachable spaces, but nothing fundamentally game-breaking. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Either way, I had fun in the midst of path-drawing chaos. Congratulations! :thumbsup:

Really hectic super good

roroto-sic 2023-05-07 17:21

an interesting game! The path is sometimes a bit clunky when drawn but it work overall ! Nice art, fun level design !

cleoh 2023-05-07 18:20

@virtualman52 Thanks a lot for the review! The warehouse types are randomized, so sometimes you get screwed over yeah... But it was an easy way to make each run feel a bit different, that's why it's still there.

bloodbane 2023-05-11 05:08

I wish the ordering could be simpler so I could give order faster but I could see why. It's fun game nonetheless, will have to try better next time.

A lot of a qualities to this game. It was fun to draw path and nice to have a mode to play calmly.
