Really like the gliding mechanic!! Is there a sound when you grab the mouse? If not, add one. If so, make it more obvious.

There is the sound when you grab the mouse -- it sounds like several squeaks

Tough game! Had a lot of problems getting far, because it's so tough to fly far away and bring anything back, but fun nonetheless!

I enjoyed playing this. I wish there was a way to just walk because i kept being just to short or just to far form the mice and then had to start flying again to get them.

The game looked really nice. The gameplay was easy to understand so there was no need for tutorial. Though the game begings to feel repetitive quite fast so it would have been nice if there was something more to it. I managed to feed about 15 mice to the owlets.

I like to play as family owl :D :owl: But it is quite herd to control

Cool game.I like the feeling of control.

The controls felt a bit mushy to me, probably because of the startup time on the flying animation. And I think the camera damping added to the unresponsive feel, but maybe it was an intended effect. Your audio choices were quite good though, and the way you arranged the trees in the forest made for a nice atmosphere for the game.

had a hard time controlling the owl, but found it's pretty easy to just scare the mice then park on the other side of them waiting for them to run into you (which counts) the trees in front of the camera made it pretty hard to see sometimes and masked the stuff you can run into. Audio and atmosphere was on point, just wish the controls were more direct.

Very cool atmosphere, I got a little spooked when I heard the wolves! Controlling the owl was a bit unresponsive though. I wish there was some variance introduced, like obstacles / hunters that you need to scare off, etc, because it got repetitive after hunting some mice. Cool entry though!

I really like the animations and models. I'm not sure if there's a win state. I got up to 15 mice to the little owlets. It was pretty enjoyable, but music would have been a pleasant addition. Even in the browser, the game plays with playable framerates (at least on my system). The hit box with mice seem a bit unforgiving to me, but not super frustrating. Well done. :)

nice idea, i want to look mouse, when i fly the camera may be not so close

Diving down to get the mice is very satisfying! The game is pretty simple but surprisingly addictive. The only thing I would add is some kind of sound cue to when you successfully deliver the mouse to the babies.

Simple, but catchy :wink:. I like the models and animation.

Loved the idea. And the owl. And how the owl looks with the mouse. And the owl flying. Would have hoped for a clearer indication on when I've delivered the mouse to the owlets. Could see it in score, could see it in mouse dissappear, but still. Flying works well. Going on for a long time playing was tedious. Liked the trees and the bushes, did not as much the ground (why was it squary graphics as the other elements were so smooth?).
