Nicely polished! I did end up getting my parcel stuck in the wall in the cloud section. The "flipping" controls take a bit of getting used to but seems like a fun mechanic.

Glide through the air at high speeds while maintaining velocity and flipping feels really good! The controls are incredibly addictive and enjoyable. And the pixel art characters and objects are very cute as well.
I really enjoyed the game. Ended up delivering the package on the first attempt with only 8% left.
Keep up the good work!
I always enjoy your games! The option to chirp is always adorable, and the art is lovely. The player physics take some getting used to (and I never *quite* mastered it) but it's a lot of fun! I recorded myself playing the game to provide maximum feedback. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6upxLucZj3k
I enjoyed this. Cool art style. I did manage to forever lose the package in a tree :(. But still had fun getting to the top :)
Another great entry once again! These controls were a mess to figure out though. I like the mechanic where your delivery gets more and more damaged the more times it falls. Some text on the dialoque was cropped weird though, and it just said my package had "%" left.
Nice work!
Great pixel art and polish! Couldn't quite get the hang of the controls but still managed to get the top nonetheless.
Cute art! But didn't manage to reach the top without destroying the parcel ^^"
I looove it! The mechanics was totally confusing but it had a QWOP feel to it so it was kinda fun
10% on my first try, and I'm pretty sure that I lost more health trying to pick up tape than I gained. :smile: Also, I'm an idiot and thought that "X" meant I couldn't interact with someone, but @100th-coin's video saved me. I would have enjoyed an additional horizontal level so I could glide more and feel the wind beneath my wings...
Very clever and well executed concept! You have no idea how good it feels to finally see an entry with **clean** and **pure** pixel art. I forgot to use the glide mechanic in my first run. I wonder if there would be a clever way to force the player to use it...
1% on my first try 😅 I immediately fell in love with how smooth the flight feels, I'm so curious how this game would feel if, instead of narrow quarters, it's a more expansive sky where players can have fun with the controls!
Congrats on finishing compo! (the pixel art is bonkers beautiful.)
3% on my first try!:0 This ones tough, but definitely mechanics you could learn. I love the little pixel birds too! Nicely done:)
Oh man, the controls for this entry are fantastic! I'm in love with how cute the birds are!
I did manage to squiggle the package into the wall here a couple times, haha flippin-finches.png
As cute as always! It was difficult to master this flip-thing, but I manage to finish (even if it was with a poor 44% :sweat_smile:) And for my first try, I don't know how, but I managed to stuck the package in a tree, I had to restart :laughing: Flipping Finches capture.png Good job anyways!
Interesting controls, superb work on the effects, it's very satisfying to flip around! I also encountered the box-stuck-in-tree other commenters have but I think I got it deepest so far :D

Nice graphical style and quite unique controls. I didn't do very well, but did manage to deliver the package with 2% integrity remaining... Some of the jumps where you had to avoid hitting the package against the ceiling were quite difficult.
I love the art style. I found the game to be very difficult (I finished with only 9%), and the controls were quite unintuitive to figure out, especially once I picked up the package. The closed-in sections in particular were a bit irritating to get through.
Nice! The air flip is hard to master, but feels really good otherwise and I like the fact you can finish the game even if the package is destroyed x) ! Fun lil birb game :)
A cute game. At first I felt a little confused by the mechanics, but I got used to it over time. This game makes me think that it would be very good with its phase system and as you progress it will get more difficult. And background music wouldn't be bad either. A little music is missing.
Congratulations.
