Really great, I love the intro and the art. makes me really care about these geese

Submitted(+1)

That intro was so good I reloaded the page to watch it a second time before even starting the game!  The only problem I have is that the geese are so close to the ground, and jittery that it hurts my eyes to play.

Developer

Thank you for appreciating the itnro!!

You hooked me in right from the beginning, that intro was absolute peak. Now as for the gameplay, It was really enjoyable but I did find one way to pretty much cheese the game, by moving my geese off-screen...or so I thought until they all got deleted by a plane. Also one more thing I have to add, I noticed when I don't move my mouse the geese are very jittery like they're on cocaine

Developer

The jitteting geese will be our first fix, we were tuning it just  when we ran out of time.

Thank you for your kind words!

That opening cutscene was incredible, haha!

Migration is a great take on the loop theme. I'm not biased at all just because I love birds ;) I had a lot of trouble wrapping my mind around the diagonal alerts, though, and I don't know if I just wasn't skilled enough, but sometimes it felt like the timings between the alert signs and the danger actually showing up was inconsistent.

Absolutely loved the individual descriptions of the geese as well, it really made me want to cherish and protect them. Alas, I was not a very good guide. I had fun trying, though!

Thank you for playing! Yes the difficulty its a bit overtuned, and the eagles take long times to spawn, but we couldnt fix it in time

Appreciate ur goose pfp ;)

Initial cutescene is really nice!! I didn’t expect inter-family procreation tho, like I had 3 birds, the father died and the other 2 still managed to make another one - won’t judge. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Well if we are starting with two guys the genetic pool isnt very diverse, i guess their eyes are so apart because they are inbred haha

Submitted(+1)

Hahahaha Lovely stuff, opening cutsene was as immaculate as the geese dap up, only minor issue i have was that the geese were super jittery on my screen so found that a little distracting to play with, but lovely and hilarious stuff, great job!

Developer

We couldnt tune the geese in time. but it gets better with a bigger flock

The intro had me laughing already — so good! I was like ‘Haha, I’m a genius, hiding in the corner with my birds, can’t touch this!’... then boom — tilted planes said ‘nope!’ 😂

Developer

Haha glad you liked it! We had a hard time balancing the game, we didnt want to encourgae stationary gameplay. but the tilted enemies are really something

Loved the intro and the names, specially the handshake

Developer

Thank you so much!!!

This is PEAK I love the info about the geese and it had me giggle a couple of times and the gameplay is quite satisfying and fun and the art is stunning 10/10

Developer

Making  you giggle makes us very happy :)

Loved this. Well done team. Really loved the intro and the animation in the beginning. Art and environment was great as well. 

I would just add a small deadzone around the birds so that the don't twitch so much when the mouse is directly over them.

"Me encantó. ¡Bien hecho, equipo! Me encantó la introducción y la animación del principio.

El arte y la ambientación también fueron geniales.

Solo añadiría una pequeña zona muerta alrededor de los pájaros para que no se muevan tanto al pasar el ratón directamente sobre ellos."

Developer

Thank you for sharing your appreciation Matty!
Yes the twitching brids was a big concern, but we could not fix on time. Maybe if we continue working on it, for now your suggestion is very appreciated!

Thank you marco!!!

I really liked the game! The intro was nice, and the increasing difficulty with each stage made it really challenging. I also enjoyed the different bits of lore for each Goose.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words dude!! We really struggled to make time for the bird lore and we really appreciate the compliment

Submitted(+2)

I knew the intro was gonna be a banger when the goose is named Goosetavo. The diagonal enemies are very hard to dodge.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Difficulty was something we struggled a lot balancing in the short time that we had, but I hope it gave you a fun challenge
