At Full HD resolution parts of the game interface are obscured, so I couldn’t see the HP or the collection menu. But I like the mood and sounds)

The art is really nice, well done on that.

However the gameplay and the objectives confused me a bit.

Pressing Escape opens up a weird menu

The seagull renders behind the people when it seems that it should be rendering in front (since it's flying above them)

Having to click on the top right to see the collection was a bit annoying when the rest of the game doesn't require the mouse, it would be nicer if there was a button for that.

Not sure it's necessary to have one button for interaction and one button for QTE, it seems like they could be the same button.

Also the tutorial in game says to press Shift to squawk but nothing happens when I press that.

amazing theme! being a gull is so much fun, it'll be better if there are more various profiles to be collected

Adorable little game, the art style is neat and gameplay is clean and straight forward. Great satisfier for troublemakers.

Such a cute art style — I love it! 💖

What a lovely style of painting!

A cute little game with simple gameplay and a refreshing art style. Unfortunately, the content is a bit lacking.

Nice art. I gained the title of master of human

The art style looks awesome and it's an interesting idea for a game. This might have been due to something with the resolution playing on itchio web version, but I had a lot of issues with the UI. For example, the audio once I started the game was very loud compared to the menu music and I could not find a settings menu to turn it down. Pressing shift did nothing even though it was meant to be squak. I couldn't interact with some people, and when I did the UI was off to one side and sorta cut-off at the bottom which felt strange. Once I lost, I couldn't figure out how to restart either. It also felt a bit strange that the resolution of the characters was a lot higher compared to the background, so they felt a bit out of place.

Super cute and charming! Unfortunately lack of UI made it really confusing what the objective was

Super cute!! Had some issues with resolution on Itch but the art style is very charming

It’s such a cute and relaxing game — great job!

Really impressive graphics in such a short span, game play simple but cute, would avoid old ladies and approach surfing dudes again

Very nice game and ad, but it feels a little bit hard at the beginning. (P.S.: some characters can't be read exactly)

Such a cute game! I love that naughty seagull. You might want to strengthen the positive feedback a bit — maybe adding a score or result screen would make it even better!

Nice looking game! too bad there's no option to do full screen or resize the window. Also I wish there would be mini game for all people each with his/her own bar setting.

Never thought being a seagull would be so much fun! The art is cute and the failure screen was pretty funny. I accidently went way down on the screen and it took me forever to get back to the game play screen but other then that great little game!

美术做的很好,互动也有音效,如果能加上UI提示会更好

ryusui 2025-10-11 21:07

It's really cute; the map makes me think of a children's book, but I'm put out by the fact that the instructions and description seem to be for a game that's a fair bit more ambitious than what you published? Shift does nothing, and there are no extra areas to unlock - once you've added all eight people in the scene to your catalogue, you're done. It's not bad for what it is, but there's a stark contrast between the artwork and mechanics - I was shocked to see that "QTEs" are handled using what look like placeholder graphics!

I like the visuals, music and the games mood. The gameplay feels a bit unfinished, but it's not super bad. Overall a fine little jam game.

I was really excited to try this game. I like the premise, but when I got in there I had some difficulty with the controls and visuals. I played on the itch.io page. Maybe the visual sort themselves out in the downloaded version?

dengyixa 2025-10-16 10:17

It's intersting! The art is so nice!!!

anatol-w 2025-10-21 17:16

ophiene 2025-10-23 19:01

Amazing work! It’s super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)
