this is a fun game, the gameplay could use some more polish but it's pretty decent for a jam-game, I love the effort you took to add a back story to the game, a really good story too which is surprising since most people don't even have a backstory for their games, the art style is really beautiful and I wouldn't mind using something similar to the page background as a wallpaper to be honest lol, I think you did an overall good job with this game, well done everyone!
The splash is super eye-catching and well-drawn, especially over such a short period. I had to stop scrolling and click. Like others have said, the gameplay itself is slightly lacking, but art makes up for it tenfold! Very funny concept, also.
I loved the narration and intro scenes! Great take on the theme.
Managed to wipe out all the birds, and got this error: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664297773046300691/1103047960272580709/error.png Games got really nice style.
I laughed so hard 😂 It's short, it's simple, and it's satisfying. I like the sound choice. Very, epic and fits with the scene of killing spree.
Great job with intro screen. I don't supposed to play the game with narration :) Tt's a nice surprise. Gameplay was very satisfied. I have some problem with drag and drop. When my cursor was on the icon and I try to drag and drop my camera move. Graphic style look good and clear.
@maakole lol we never got all the birds ourselves. Division by zero.
Truly a tragedy...but it must be done... doosie is right.PNG
Very cool game, I would add more kinds of buildings and abilities :)
Fun take on a tower defense with the movable towers. I also really liked the elaborate intro. I would have liked to see more levels, towers, and general strategy. For example, maybe some birds spawn other birds or can only be damaged by a specific tower type. Anyway, nice work.
Interesting Tower Defense, and i liked that i coul move my towers after i placed them. It would be nice to make this in a bigger game with different towers or powers!
There are some good ideas in this game and I liked its humor. But on my computer, the cursor was lagy and I had a hard time understanding what the game wanted from me.
It's almost a tower offense game :D I love the idea behind this, looking at the machanics only it seems pretty plain, but combined with that backstory it's really whacky in the best way. Great choice of music too!
@tayteus It's the webgl, you can try the windows build that is multithreaded.
This is a lot of fun, thanks. There was a small problem in order to figure out how to put new towers and crows, but when I read the description, I immediately figured it out.
omg, my old pc so slowed down a litle, but i like this gameplay and atmosphere! wallpaper on your page is realy cool
Very cool game, which reminds me 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.It feels very good to see a buch of birds disappeared and the area cleared. As Tvorojok said, it's a little lagging when all birds moving. Art is also very good. Nice game!
Hi there!
A interesting approach for tower defense without tower as such and possibility to move defense turrets. The only issue is performance and that fact that everything is spawned at once, which is overloading browser & user as well. I would say that some increase of load might release the problem.
Huge respect for voiceover story - it does make a difference!
Great adoption of Tower Defense into the theme. It did give a satisfaction of playing. However, I'd expect more challenge baked into the game, like some strategic factor which the building will get destroy if you aren't fast enough :smile:.
Original take on the theme! It is fun to play and then play again to try to improve your highscore. It took me quite a while before I saw the cooldown countdown in the turrets and predator birds. I got to 1349 (with a trackpad). :bird:
I like the graphics, especially the background and the title screen. It would be nice to have some highlights when you hover over an object that you can interact.
Nice choice of music! :musical_note: Since you didn't compose it yourself, you could consider opting out for audio.

Edit: with a mouse I got 1358 :) I didn't like so much that the world didn't fit in the screen, and that I often moved the screen around in stead of an object. But it's addicting!
very nice game, really enjoyed it
Very nice micro management game, It seems like spawn at the end can be more, and defenetly need more items and faster cooldown for more micro-managment nightmare xD
Also fullscreen version don't update properly
I guess I made the best score so far?)

The gameplay in a combination with the clasic music is really nice and fun. Sometimes I had an issue where I tried to pick the turret or birds and instead I was dragging the screen, but that is just a minor thing and probably just my fault :D Overall very nice entry. Good job
Very simple but effective tower defense where you must shoot pigeons! I always fail at around 1350 packages. Is it possible to complete the first level? Seems to me that at the end there are always 2 or 3 birds still alive. Good work!
