The controls aren't stated anywhere within the game (I checked desc and comments though), nothing tells you what to do, the twigs spawn on the ground... and you cant touch the ground... and even though you could collect them from the top they're so surrounded by trees its basically impossible to get out (the stop mechanic does not help for this because you need to stop to get in and also to get out, and FOR SOME REASON being able to control my movement has consequences), and of course to get the twigs back you need to go back to the nest... which kills you when you touch it. I get it, technically you can fly over just enough, but its accurate and requires controllable movement which the game literally doesn't give you. And another thing, the sensitivity was too much, and there was nothing in the settings for sensitivity.

It's poorly designed is my point.

It has potential though, the models are great, the gameplay could be fun if it weren't for the many things I just listed.

cool game with nice aesthetics. I figured out left click for fly but I couldn't figure out what I needed to collect to make my score go up. good work

Hi Ishmael, thanks for your review. In the game, you can grab little sticks that are placed randomly around the map. You can check near the trees or rocks to find some. To help you look for the twigs, we made them glow in red when behind obstacles.

I didn't understand the controls

Hi Mivoky, thanks a lot for the feedback! Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to include a tutorial in the game, so here’s a quick summary of the controls:

  • You start on the nest — press the left mouse button to take off and fly.

  • While flying, you have two main actions when your ability meter (bottom left corner) is full:

    • Right-click to stop mid-air. Once stopped, you can either wait to start moving again or press left-click to cancel the stop.

    • Left-click again to perform a dash.

The objective is to collect twigs scattered around the map and return them to your nest. Twigs are usually found near trees and rocks, and if they’re behind obstacles, they’ll glow red to help you spot them.

Hope this helps, and thanks again for playing!
