Nice work! Definitely nails the NES aesthetic

john-gabriel 2025-10-06 00:02

Simple, but still neat! I got a good chuckle out of the idea of a crow being forced to use the zebra crossing.

kaba 2025-10-06 04:49

Nice! I also laughed at the zebra crossing and I know I will have the catchy little tune stuck in my head for a good while after this. :sweat_smile:

elanor 2025-10-07 15:39

@john-gabriel It is indeed quite simple (it's my first original game to be fair).

I'm glad you found it amusing :3

elanor 2025-10-07 15:40

@kaba I'm glad you liked the music! As a musician, I knew I needed to play to my skills, so I pulled out the ol' blues scale :p

elanor 2025-10-07 15:41

@sthor726 I'm glad you liked it! I put in a good bit of effort on the art, and I'm actually quite proud of it :]

nicso 2025-10-07 16:41

that’s a nice start, could be a neat simple game :thumbsup:

torte478 2025-10-07 16:46

Silly little like for silly little game =)

plastus 2025-10-07 16:46

Short and sweet game!

My favourite part is that the crow makes sounds when you press X :3

Also that the crow knows how to properly use sidewalks xD

revetoon 2025-10-07 16:49

I like the bold color palette. A bit more gameplay mecanisms and you'll have a cool game !

elanor 2025-10-07 16:59

@torte478 And a silly little reply to a silly little comment :3

elanor 2025-10-07 16:59

@plastus That's exactly what my friend said about the squawk button lol

I'm glad you enjoyed it :]

elanor 2025-10-07 17:02

@revetoon Thanks! I had actually planned some additional features—namely making the enemies chase you if you get to close—but ultimately didn't have enough time to complete them (they're actually still in the source code, and that's actually why I added the squawk).

Who knows? Maybe I'll keep working on it...

antti-haavikko 2025-10-07 17:25

Love me some PICO games. Short and sweet! Not much to say, so I drew a picture instead...

Good job! 👍

elanor 2025-10-07 18:15

@antti-haavikko Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.

Nice artwork too :p

khamekaze 2025-10-09 14:44

I like that silly little corvid and its silly little coin collecting 😁 Press X to caw and the strict adherence to pedestrian regulations for crosswalks made me chuckle

tesseus 2025-10-09 16:47

Simple and sweet!

eugenik 2025-10-09 21:04

This was really atmospheric and well put together

elanor 2025-10-10 00:57

@khamekaze I'm glad you enjoyed the little details :]

elanor 2025-10-10 00:58

@eugenik Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :]

nekowei 2025-10-10 02:00

This game is simple but very fun. The arts are relly cute. Good job!

elanor 2025-10-10 03:31

@nekowei Thanks so much!

piero-pbes-studio 2025-10-11 21:27

What's this crow going to do with all these coins? I think the different scenes it goes through are cool. Go pico 8!

bloodbane 2025-10-14 11:58

Nice short coin collection game! I'm glad the humans ignored me otherwise it could be disastrous.

jk5000 2025-10-16 15:04

Lazy enemies, but else a simple and pretty fun little game.

bentglasstube 2025-10-16 17:49

Love seeing pico 8 games in these. Great work with the graphics and the various level scenes. I enjoyed the music as well. It was sometimes hard to get into tight spaces (especially the top right area of the first level) but otherwise the game worked well. Nice work.

elanor 2025-10-17 14:24

@piero-pbes-studio Who knows?

Glad you liked it :]

elanor 2025-10-17 14:26

@jk5000 They were going to chase the crow, but it was too late to do any choreography for it :p

elanor 2025-10-17 14:27

@bloodbane They don't get paid enough to chase birds around :p

Glad you liked it!

elanor 2025-10-17 14:29

@bentglasstube Thanks for the feedback!

I agree that it's pretty tough to squeeze through. If I were to come back to it, I'd add some corner correction to fix that.

Glad you liked it :3

sslees 2025-10-20 19:24

This was a nice, simple game with fun little animations. Great job doing audio for a first time game too! Most people skip that early on. I learned what "corvid" means, and now I feel like I know what the world looks like to a crow. Wish I had gold coins I could leave out for them.

marudziik 2025-10-21 09:05

Given the timeline of the compo, this is a pretty good entry. I like the gameplay and I can see where you were going with the enemies. Yeah, I'm biased towards liking anything in PICO-8, but it really is fine. I lked the graphics, but the music/sfx is *really* good. I enjoyed it very much.

Congrats on finishing within compo timeline!
