Very nice implementation of the theme.

That's a nice take on the theme. The music was great, the effects too but i think some of the are very loud compared to the music, and it takes me 3 times to understand what the broken object sounds was about.

Other than that, i really likes the magpie visuals and animations. The flapping animation brings a strange feedback, because it flaps multiple times when you only press 1 time, it was a bit disturbing at first.

Nice work! Always fun messing around with movement games. The music was excellent, even though it was a short-ish loop, had absolutely no problems listening to it for 15 minutes straight :laughing: . The flap animation was quite good, it worked really well. The additional weight for picking stuff up was, I feel, a bit too excessive. Especially for how many times you have to press space to gain elevation afterwards. Maybe only the highest value objects should have that much of an impact? Some variety would be nice, and I also feel maybe 10 minutes was a bit too long. But I had fun exploring the world you built and got a (very modest) 80 something score, with a few things dropped because I didn't quite understand the nests' hitboxes. Well done!

The graphic design is great,but the ui design is not refined.

Nice game! The flapping animation is interesting, but watching things move around repeatedly is a bit annoying.

A really good game, i spend so much time in it, i didn't even realize XDDD

The game was enjoyable to play, with the wing flapping animation being particularly well done. The main screen UI could have benefited from some work, possibly on the art, but the main issue was the spacing between the buttons; I couldn't locate the play button at first. Additionally, the weight increase when grabbing an item feels excessive. It was a great idea to add weight when holding an item, but the weight amount needs to be reduced so you don't have to press the space bar extremely fast to reach the nest.

Very challenging game :D I managed to break half of my treasures during back trip and in the end I managed to throw off all those previously gathered from the nest with a flute :laughing: It was a bit slow for me, but this does not undermine the challenge you gave for us and the game direction. I love the ridiculous environment the magpie came to hunt in this game. Magpie vs drone? Cool entry!

Good work! I like your visual style)

Hi, very nice effort and liked the game and a very nice interpretation of the style.

However as previously mentioned the start page is rather simple compared to the game you could have put in a screenshot of the game without the bird or something nothing extra just something at least.

Also please enable full-screen mode as it was quite hard to get it to snap in front of my taskbar haha.

In the instructions also you should note that you have to actually spam the spacebar not just hold it as I spent a good 3 minutes thinking the whole game was broken.

Otherwise very nice game enjoyed it very much and I did beat 50:))

Oh man this game looks and sounds awesome!.

I just flew in from Seattle and boy is my thumb tired!

dengyixa 2025-10-12 15:44

It's interesting and humorous and I think it's challenging to me.So I really feel happy when I collect my first item (a bottle)!

I wish I was a better keyboard/mouse PC gamer because I think I would have fared better in this game if I had been :grin: . As it is, I found the controls frustrating and could not advance at all, but that is strictly a me problem. I still had fun looking around; the world is very nicely designed and I like the variety. Also, you won my heart automatically by counting a recorder as "treasure" :smiley: . Nice music, too---I'd prefer it a bit softer but again, that's me.

I love the music and visuals. I did end up playing it longer than I figured haha nice job! :D
