I fed my bird friend to the volcano :( the bird was a little hard to steer but I liked the concept!

Cool concept, controls were very annoying to use tho

loved the color and graphics.really cool concept. but the controls are bit creepy. couldn't pick up anyone. if muse control was used for steering it would have been a different story.. music also very good

Took a minute to understand how to control it but once I did it was really fun!  Funny idea and good use of the limitation!  The graphics were great too!  Really awesome job on this!

A fun game, but grabbing things was annoying at first because I didn't realise you have to fly to grab things

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback! We missed to add the tutorial to our game, it would have improved your player experience

I really like how the speed changes whether you’re going up or down. I wanted to do something like that for mine, but didn’t. Glad to see your take on it :)

👍👍👍

Very funny game, made me chuckle hehe. Also the flying mechanics are actually really fun once you get the hang of them!

Thank you, glad our little game made you chuckle!

We ourselves spent a good chunk of the development time playing around, flying and yeeting people from across the map so I can relate on the fun!

The controls are very hard to get used to but I loved the death cam!

Developer

thanks for playing our game and for your feedback!

I sure do hate when I get trapped inside of a bird body and need to sacrifice my fellow creatures to the volcanic gods.

Really cool idea, and pretty fun, though I wish more control was given to the player as the camera movement is kind of limited (doesnt use mouse) and it seems that i kind of randomly take flight rather than initiating it.

Developer

Thanks for the review!

Should have been explained in the "tutorial" screen that you take flight after running for a certain amount of time on the ground, kind of like an airplane that needs some speed before actually taking off !

And noted for the camera being limited, thanks for the inputs 🫶
