this was so peak omg I love birds :3333 I lowk got stuck trying to land all the air currents in a row (?) but also I’m godawful at platformers so this was essentially what I expected to happen and didn’t rly affect my enjoyment :)))) the art was beautiful and I did appreciate the shiny texture indicating what was jumpable and what wasn’t.

Very cute artwork! I did get stuck towards the top though I think something blocked my path to keep from jumping and made it so i couldnt jump on top of the object but very visually appealing

This is so cute and well polished! The art and story is great, and I liked the addition of the wind currents. Would love to play an expanded version of it! One thing was that it was a bit difficult to tell what was background vs jumpable art.

Really cute art style and aesthetic! One comment is I wish there was better indication of what platforms you can jump on vs what's a background piece, as that combined with how the jump works made it a little hard to platform sometimes.

yeah, we realized that like, half an hour before submission and frantically put ̶y̶e̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶t̶ ̶ a glimmer on all the platformable surfaces. We started out trying to make something very different with a weird mechanic related to the parallax in the background, but ended up realizing that it was too hard to make at the halfway point of the jam and pivoted to making this bird platformer thing with the time remaining, so there is still a lot of integration problems orz

Also, a collider for a platform on the left was accidentally turned off; i’ve added it to the bugs list

Very challenging, but great textures, sound-mixing and sprites. Love the very straightforward but complicated task of getting the bird back up to the nest - it's like Fiat Ludum's Getting Over It!

Really polished!! !Great animations and platforming mechanics, I could easily see this being a longer game or having levels

This was such a sweet game to play.  The art is absolutely gorgeous and feels concise throughout. The mechanics are just challenging enough to make it interesting without being either too easy or unbeatable. I felt the difficulty but I never felt discouraged. I really enjoyed this. Great game!
