This was a really interesting concept! I like the fact that we have to kind of figure it out as we go, but I think a little hint or push in the right direction would have helped, maybe if there was an option in the corner of the screen, because I noticed a ? or ! near the birds but wasn't sure what they represented. But even with that it was really fun, good job!

I like that you have to figure out the rules -not that I was successful in doing so -but I had fun trying!  Also the art was nice too -great job on this! :D

there is a crucial element in this lack... A pope hat for the leader, i end wondering who end being the leader in each level, i would be funny add some joke in some of the levels(not all or the punchline become to predictible)

Pope hat would have been amazing yes I wish we had more time to add it :')

Look good, it's a good concect, sadly you did't reach to add sound.
The main issue it's the complexity of the puzzle the deductions relly a little to much in trial and error to get information, for only one minute. should have either less birds per puzzle or some short of clue or hint.
This would work well as it is if don't have time limmit, over it yoy can add over other type of penalty like a limited number of moves, in higher dificulty.

This is a really good puzzle game, but doesn't really work with this jam due to the limitation, theres just so many things I need to try out and understand.

Submitted

I agree, the puzzle relly to much on trial an error to be tied to only one minute.
Thought can work with less birds or a few clues, i don't know maybe some sound when we do somethig in particular, or the relative placement of 2 birds

Love the base concept !!! The idea of the puzzle is very neat, but I feel like the limitation doesnt really add to it (I enjoyed the game anyway, and had some big oppenheimer moments :D) A little bit of music / sound might make the game even more frustrating // satisfying tho :))

Submitted

Lovely art style and premise here, but a bit more instruction (or maybe some hints as others have suggested) would help to make the puzzles feel a bit less random. Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Neat idea, and I loved the play on words. I was a bit confused at first as to how it worked, but after a few tries I figured out that I had to move the birds.

What an interesting puzzle! Despite solving a couple, I did not fully understand what exactly was triggering what. Great job!

Super cool idea for a game! And I like that it’s a voting body of cardinals haha, very nice

Right now (at least for my smol brain - I don’t play a lot of puzzle games :P) it’s really hard to figure out the puzzles organically without some help from the guide - might be interesting to have text hints about the different birds in the level appear at the 45/30/15 second thresholds to help players along or something? But honestly super cool concept, and I really appreciate that the guide is there

edit: forgot to mention, the pixel art is gorgeous!!

The art is all made by us, so thank you so much and thank you for playing! 

The hint system inside the game would be a good idea, I agree :>
