This is SOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEE!!!! I like this idia and graphics too much)))

portalis 2023-10-02 23:54

Visually, the game is a work of art

skizo69 2023-10-02 23:56

cute games reminding me of unpacking. bravo for the beautiful drawings.

jeffrey-hwang 2023-10-02 23:58

Super neat art :) I first thought it was a puzzle to fit everything, but realized it was more chill decoration game. I really liked it! Great job!Screenshot 2023-10-02 at 6.57.40 PM.png

hunter-van-brocklin 2023-10-02 23:59

the art and theme are really cute :')

Love the music, but I would like to controll the volume. Realy love the idea, the collors and the graphx are so cool.

esther128 2023-10-03 00:02

Love the designs, and yes birdo, you will definitely get new friends!

cat-lab 2023-10-03 00:07

AWW as a little bird who just moved away from the nest, this hits especially close to home. It's so cute!! I love being able to customize what goes where and I appreciate that pieces aren't locked into place once they're put down. It's the ultimate 'how much do I REALLY need in my limited space' game. I think the music could have been a little more upbeat but overall really great entry!

Very cozy game! The art is adorable) And I liked personal touch with username, and invitation to send it to you via twitter, very clever move btw, I'll remember this idea. :smiley: As for me, I would prefer if there also been some goal or challenge, or some criteria of finishness. Maybe some balance that you need to keep between keeping some stuff that mum send, and the things you really need - cause the letter says "to mum", so she probably would be happy to see on the photo some stuff that she sent, but probably me as a bird would prefer to have a cozy sofa that's fitting me rather my old birdhouse. But anyway, the game looks wholesome, comfort to play, and the experience was nice.

imontheweb 2023-10-03 04:40

this was extremely cosy, yes! i loved how silly the little bird is cramming so many things into his apartment it's very endearing! very fun use of the theme

crylica 2023-10-03 07:29

this is such a cute game, it really hits home. hope you guys make more games!

infinitye 2023-10-03 09:50

Really a cute game i like the idea and this could honestly be a series :)

lucavazz 2023-10-03 15:12

Great interpretation of the theme. Loved the graphics, really cute sketch style.

shiba-pixels 2023-10-03 17:48

A very fluid and streamlined experience! I loved the art style, and resonated a lot with the narrative. I initially had the impression that I had to fit as much as possible, but fell in love with decorating my own space over time! Props for shifting my mindset from one to the other so quickly.

weefairyfabi 2023-10-03 22:17

@kyoryucomic Thank you!!

@tentacledream Aweee THANK YOU! I am glad you liked the art :3

@portalis Thank you!

@skizo69 Hehe thank you so much! I am definitely flattered that it reminded you of such an amazing game like Unpacking~

@jeffrey-hwang I am so glad you had a good time decorating and thank you for the lovely comment :)

weefairyfabi 2023-10-03 22:22

@hunter-van-brocklin Thank youuuu :)

@cat-lab Awww it's so nice to hear that it hit close to heart! I am also going through the leaving the nest experience all over again, that was definitely an inspiration :) Hehe thank you! I honestly really really want to see everyone's rooms and what people choose to keep :3 Your suggestion is really good as well, thank you! I wish we had had some more time, alas I somehow did not notice Ludum was going on hahaha but if we do get back to this idea ever again I will be going with that suggestion for sure!

@imontheweb Haha thank you! I am a hoarder myself so I really resonate with little magpie :3

@crylica Thank you so much! We are definitely making more games in the future, so stay tuned ;)

weefairyfabi 2023-10-03 22:26

@infinitye Haha I wish! Who knows, I had a lot of fun making this game so maybe there will be another one one day :3

@lucavazz I am glad you liked the art and idea! Thank you for playing~

@shiba-pixels Thank you so much for playing and the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed the game and it's always nice to hear player experiences :)

janet-lin 2023-10-04 05:15

I had to stop myself from playing T__T This is so cute. Each time a new prop popped up, I'd rearrange my whole space. Love the art, love the vibe!!

weefairyfabi 2023-10-04 19:04

@janet-lin Aww thank you so much that's the highest form of compliment! I am so glad you had a good time playing~

mary-orlova 2023-10-04 19:29

Very cute game, I really like the colour palette and the tiny bird))))) Ralax game)

weefairyfabi 2023-10-04 19:39

@mary-orlova Thank you! I am glad you had a relaxed time :)

alpie 2023-10-04 19:55

Visuals are adorable! I was just looking at the bird all the time ;D

I loved the context dependent phrases too

weefairyfabi 2023-10-04 21:10

@alpie Thank youu! I love the little birb hehe~ Thank you! They definitely got more deranged the later into the night it got XD

fnkee 2023-10-04 22:17

What a pleasant game. Had a lot of fun decorating (and undecorating) my flat. Well done on well written monologue and, art assets and music! Love that you put in some small animations in there too. Hope the little guys in the washer will be alright. I played nut another harvest story on a previous jam, and gotta say I'm starting to become a fan of your games!

kairuma 2023-10-05 10:43

Very cute game! I like the look of it and I really like talking animals.

weefairyfabi 2023-10-05 14:20

@fnkee Thank you very much, I always appreciate seeing your feedback! I absolutely love the little animations as well, I feel like they really enliven the scene and I do hope the more games we make, the more little accents we can add into each playable :) Hahaha, I am glad you noticed! It's my favourite detail of the game :3 I like to think it is just plushies, no animals were harmed in the making of this game I am so glad, thank you! I hope you will enjoy our future games just as much!

weefairyfabi 2023-10-05 14:21

@kairuma Thank you very much! :3

yndajas 2023-10-05 21:58

Cute! I found it a little hard to intuit how many/which spaces some of the items took up, but it didn't really matter. Nice chilled game with cute art and... 'chirpy'... music 🦤

agrmayank 2023-10-06 06:24

​The art in the use of colour palette & UX is awesome! The dialogue feels natural and adds a much-needed depth to the game. Love this short and fun experience!

agrmayank 2023-10-06 06:31

P.S.- This is my not-so-tidy room :smirk_cat: SCR-20231006-kshs.png

ottos 2023-10-06 08:27

awww! i really enjoyed this one :,) i'm a big sucker for both dress up and decorate the room games, so i had a lot a lot a lot of fun playing it!! i really enjoy the art, the music and the way it cleverly plays out on 'leaving the nest' idea? it's really cute! i also enjoy how much our birdy reacts to what we're doing - replacing something or taking it completely out of the room.

really nice! thank you so much for your adorable game <3

kanity 2023-10-06 22:35

The graphics are super cute and the music is lovely! I love the bird changing its pose/expression :) I also love the take on the theme, decorating an apartment is very enjoyable ^^

My pretty place :3 birdFlat.jpg

weefairyfabi 2023-10-06 23:40

@yndajas Thank you for playing and the feedback! And definitely thank you for the chirpy pun, haha!

@agrmayank I am glad you enjoyed the experience and the art, this is definitely my favourite colour palette, I always have to try to not make all of my games purple haha. Thank you! P.S. - I absolutely adore the room, especially the floating kitchen :P

weefairyfabi 2023-10-06 23:44

@ottos Thank you! I love dress up and decoration games as well, they were such a huge part of my childhood :) Thank you so much for the lovely review and I am so glad you had a good time playing our little bird game~

@kanity I love the little bird moving around, and I am glad you did too! It feels so sassy :3 And thank you for sharing your room, it is just ~adorable~ it is so nice to see everyone's takes on the room design

konfekt 2023-10-07 23:08

Great use of the theme. I'm honestly not into decorating games at all but you still got me invested to play for a bit because of the pretty art and cute magpie!! (sorry to my magpie for not fitting all the necessities, guess they'll need to wash their laundry down the street..). A confirm button to ask if you're sure that you're satisfied with your room would have been great b/c I was clumsy and kept finishing accidentally lol.

Also I wish you the best for your PhD journey!!

sand-gardeners 2023-10-08 22:17

very cute game, loved to play it <3

r8teful 2023-10-09 11:48

The art style is so cute! I really like how to bird reacts to what is happening in the game, like when you remove an item from your room, or when a new item gets displayed. I do miss a goal here however. Right now you can just kind of put whatever you want in there. But I can see how this can be turned into a nice puzzle game, where you have to go and satisfy a bunch of different birds that all want specific things and have requirements in how they want their house to be. It could add the extra challenge to the game!

hinamarina 2023-10-11 00:09

I really loved this little game! The art is sooo cute and the little comments are so funny. Loved the overall atmosphere and felt the space to be sooo limited (lol)! I just wanted to put everything inside the tiny house and eventually realized wasn't possible lol. Really lovely game, great entry! :) Congratz!

minjutin 2023-10-11 17:37

Such cute graphics and story, I actually had to think what to keep and what to leave. Tho, now that I'm looking at the example pictures, I might have not realized that you were supposed to actually make it look like a room :D I just filled the space like tetris lol

weefairyfabi 2023-10-12 09:26

@konfekt Thank you so much for giving our little game a shot even though they aren't normally your cup of tea, and hahah I am sure your magpie can find a shared laundromat somewhere! That's a good idea for sure, it happened to me as well. Awww thank you so much! Hopefully some amazing games will come from it :3

@sand-gardeners Thank you so much for playing! I am glad you enjoyed it~

@r8teful Thank you so much for playing and the feedback, that is definitely an idea to revisit in future jams~ So many ideas and so little time haha but that is what I love about jamming as well!

@hinamarina I am glad you loved the game! And yesss I do love the theme for this ludum, this is an accurate depiction of my flat every time I want new furniture ahaha :)

@minjutin Hahaha you can absolutely fill it in like tetris as well, at some point during testing I made it my personal mission to get in as many items as possible no matte the looks lol. I am just glad you had fun playing!

strega 2023-10-13 07:01

Very cute! Nice and clean presentation with lovely art. I didn't realize I could end at any time at first and thought the goal was just to fit everything in lol. Once I realized you can't actually fit everything, I kind of treated the space outside of the grid to be like the outside of the home. Very cool integration of sharing your creation.

steve7411 2023-10-15 18:28

I really like the art!

juliestrator 2023-10-15 18:28

It's so incredibly cute! The art is really good! And i had lots of fun decorating my first apartment, so i have to brag about how good it looks, look: Screenshot 2023-10-15 at 22.22.05.png Thanks for making this cute experience!

cataclysmicknight 2023-10-16 21:08

This is such a freaking cute game, and I love all of the comments as the items keep coming out. I also appreciated that I could be all: "actually... this is nicer than this, I'm getting rid of it." And it absolutely captured the "I'm sad I don't have enough space but I need to get rid of this" vibe with the cat shelves from "when cats ruled the world" 🤣

All that to say: I LOVE THIS!

moonlightbomber 2023-10-19 06:50

It's quite charming for its short length.

lenzgolo 2023-10-19 09:44

Wonderful Artstyle and cute story!

2023-10-19 09:44

The art style of the game is sooo cute! I love the story and the humor. Nice idea !

weefairyfabi 2023-10-19 10:03

@strega Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts, we really wanted to see the rooms people are creating so I am glad you like the integration :)

@juliestrator Thank you for playing and sharing your flat it is so so cute! Absolutely worthy of bragging about :3

lelulagames 2023-10-20 01:12

It's definitely a cute game. I do love the graphics, and the story is adorable.
