  • "It's cute and charming, but the lack of player input really stifles the experience. Even without an elaborate mini-game, something like an extra button that you have to click to serve the food would have been much appreciated. I like the squirrel lines though, a nice touch. Since it's a café, I think it would have been more interesting to have a choice of what to serve each bird (multiple buttons, or as a dialogue choice). It would keep that educational element and tie it to the player's actions - I'm much more likely to remember that a robin eats seeds if I chose to give him the seeds, or gave him a bug and he didn't like it."

A cute little experience, but would have really loved to be able to click a button to serve the birds myself! I like the squirrel.

Short, but lovely and cute. It was real nice to learn some new stuff about birds, now when I know what exactly they need to eat, makes me want to go outside and feed them :D

Thank you! Do read more on their diets and preferred foods on sites such as birdfact.com, my game kind of simplifies and abstracts things, even if I do try my best to get their diets right.

This might not be a very in-depth experience, but it is very charming and I did enjoy learning about birds. Lovely submission

Developer

Thank you! My original idea was more elaborate, but I realised I didn't know how to code it, so went with something more manageable for me.
