The art style of this game is just lovely! Reminds me of good old scumm-times. Also, really weird idea to play the guy in the park that feeds the birds. And I love weird ideas.

Good job! It's very relaxing and atmospheric. It makes me think of the clicker game genre without the "i must chase a higher number" part of it.

Submitted

very well made little game, well done! Keep up the good work >3

I always hoped I could befriend a crow one day, this is the next best thing I guess! Beautifully made cozy game, great work!

Submitted

Very cute. The art is spectacular! I think y'all are nicer people than me, as I was thinking about a tower defense/farming sim game where your goal is to scare the crows away.

This was a very nice clicker type game. I did have some graphical issues where it didn't scale itself correctly in the browser unless i fullscreened it on my big monitor. Not sure what was happening there.

Submitted

Very nice incremental clicker! The retro art style was great, and reminded me of some PC games I used to play in the 90s, game loop was fun and engaging, collectibles were varied and interesting, and the $200 price tag on blueberries were very appropriate in this economy :D

Feedback for your future game updates:

  • I was able to spam the infinite feed until the ground was overrun with feed; not sure if that's intentional or if you want to limit it, especially because you can't just leave it there and have the birds eat them since they only eat after you take their gift
  • The descriptions on new items get clipped at the bottom, maybe have them pop up upwards instead
  • When two birds are on top of each other and you mouse over them, they both highlight and you can't double-click... very minor bug that I noticed, definitely not game breaking

Overall great job and solid entry!!

Submitted

Really amazing art!  Plus the kinda slot machine-esque nature of the birds bringing you random stuff was very appealing.  Nice work!

Submitted

I wish all my friends were birds.

Loved the game! Cozy vibes and great art. Always have been a fan of seeing irl crows bringing back trinkets to their favorite people. Only thing to note is that sometimes the game did not register my clicks very well, as well as the buying new seeds not updating the counter as I've seen others mention. I also managed to get a null item from using mealworms at the walking path. One of my favorite games I have played from this jam so far!

I usually play through a bunch of the jam games with my kid. We play a few, talk about them, and rate together. This game broke our system though, because I could not persuade them to move on! The tab has been live for 3 days so far and we have a lot of crow friends. 

The crow flight animation is excellent and its wonderfully addictive overall. Great game! 

Developer

That makes me very happy to hear and also I'm very sorry hahaha I know there's a bug once you hit 10 crows where they keep spawning endlessly. I can't imagine what your screen must look like :)

Submitted

Nice cozy game. 

I really like the graphics, but other than being pixelated they don't feel that much retro.

The grind for some last missing items gets a little tedious in the end, where you miss just one from the area and can't get it still.

Also I guess I would call it a bug, that when I buy more food of the type I have selected, the counter doesn't go up and I have to swap the food for it to refresh. 

The audio overall is really nice, but I think the game would have benefitted from some little cozy music.

very cozy game!I would love to have sell all button

Developer

That’s a great idea! Thank you! 

Submitted

Great game! My bro and his 13 crows be set for life with the amount they raked in.

You killed it with the artwork, absolutely beautiful. I especially liked the battery for some reason, lol. I got all the collectibles except the very last one. Not sure if there's a special condition you have to meet to get it or if it's just super rare? I also never got any key items. Maybe they aren't implemented yet?

Only things I'd change/fix are:

  • If you buy the type of feed you currently have selected, the amount doesn't visually increase, you have to change to a different type and then change back to see the new amount
  • Maybe some QoL features like a "sell all" button, a "pick up all" button, and a "throw all" button. Just 'cause it's a lot of clicking and you start feeling it after a few mins
  • Add some text when you hover over the map, store, key items, and collectibles buttons
  • The +/- button hitboxes in the buy tab seem to be misaligned (I kept missing them but it could have been user error)

Overall really great game and awesome submission!!

Developer

That was fabulous feedback- thank you so much! You’re supposed to be able to use the money to buy accessories for the crows- little hats and things. They should have shown up in the shop once you complete a collection and then you can right click on the crow to put their little hat or whatever on! It doesn’t feel as smooth as we wanted it to because we bit off a little more than we could chew this time I think. Thank you so much for playing it and taking the time for these awesome notes! 

Submitted

Oh gotcha, in that case, it must've just been because I was still missing an item in the collection.

I did forget one more thought: maybe the crow's names could show above their head, if not always, at least when you hover over them.

But I think that's really everything I had,  you all did awesome!

Submitted

Cute game. I always like managing minions. 

Submitted

Wonderfully charming game. I'm impressed by the huge variety of items that are in the game; the art for them alone must have taken a lot of time and effort. I also like how the crows move and behave. It's fun to watch them!

One problem I noticed is that the game doesn't seem to handle scaling well. When the window is too small, only the bottom left of the game is visible. I have an ultrawide monitor, so when I set the game to fullscreen, the bottom-right UI elements go off the background.

Good job! I really liked playing.

Submitted

Oh the visuals are beautiful.

Original and chill game, actually used some time on this one. Well done!

This was so charming, relaxing, and yet addictive. I spent a lot of time playing it. I enjoy the additional "retrospection" take on the theme. Purely a nitpick, but I would've liked some sort of money scalability/upgrades, as I'd often run out of money and it would take a LONG time to build back up.
