Really simple but effective gameplay with a super clean artstyle, well done !

I would've liked for the game to have some kind of collectible to justify attempting some risky fly maneuver, but at the same time it might mess with the surprisingly chill vibe the game has, so I'm not sure anymore.

In any case, good job with this one, I really enjoyed it !

OMG this is difficult! Maybe it's my fault that I'm half asleep at 5AM...
It is great, I can see myself playing this. Very well made!

Developer

It’s definitely tricky to get the hang of! I kinda like using the touch controls on my phone, it’s very addicting hehe

Thanks for playing! <3 <3

I really like the controls, it’s fun to just make the bird fly XD
Very good game :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I have wasted a lot of time making the bird flap, it’s very fun :>

Owls out there be busting trees down just trying to fly who know what happens at full power lol very cool control scheme 

Developer

The tree animation is very ridiculous lol, I’m glad you appreciated the comically powerful owl xP

Developer

Looks very stylish, and I like the mechanics of flapping each wing separately.
Didn't feel any raise in difficulty (expected the trees to approach faster and faster but they seemed the same), but I didn't mind the chill experience :>

Yeah I made the game pretty quickly and didn’t put in any dynamic difficulty…but surprisingly, after messing around with increasing tree speed or forest density as time goes on, i actually kinda prefer it as an endless flight simulator than with any dynamic difficulty?

if i make a version 2, i think there should definitely be a raising difficulty version, though, and the endless flight version could be a separate mode just for me haha (maybe with collectibles and things to find)

I love the idea and how it was made ! Love the little bounce on the wings when you decide to fly ! Great job <3

Developer

Thanks so much! Means a lot that you played :]

So that's Flappy Owl in 3D, nice, I like the animation of the wings, good job

Developer

basically! the wing animation was my favorite part haha, thanks :]

This was super fun! Sure it's another endless runner, the jam theme was heavily leaning to those, but it still manages to be unique in its own right. Rather than the usual side view run and jump it has an intricate movement system that is very well made and enjoyable to use!

Phenomenal work, I really enjoyed this one!

Developer(+1)

THANK YOU!!! I felt like it was super uncreative personally, but the idea was very fun to me regardless mehehe, so I’m glad you felt it was still unique in some way :>

Submitted(+1)

It was actually extrimelly enjoyable. The controlls were really fun, the art was beautiful, the only thing Id want would be for the speed to icrease as you progress to makeit harder, but that didnt stop me from playing and losing so many times :'-) Very good job!

Developer

ahhhhh thanks for playing!! and yeah haha, increasing speed is definitely on my list of little adjustments to make it more interesting ;]
