The movement is messy but also really fun. Great game

Nice birb and promising concept, and a nice cover art. Maybe a bit rough around the edges, but that's a game jam after all

I really like how the game icon art looks! When i played the game the A D Controls were feeling weird, like unresponsive sometimes. Also some lore behind why do we have to get the eggs in that time? Is there some other bird who will eat them? If you would Polish the movement feel and added some more content like different areas, sound and some enemy objects you could go for a super meat boy like game!

It’s a little unfortunate that there’s no music, but the game feels like a really unique take on a maze! I think some clearer feedback when pressing the controls would make the experience feel even better.

Developer

are you sure? the controls were written in the description. also im really sorry you had to play this game in silence, this is my first game jam and i made the newbie mistake of wasting the first day

Sorry, I think I explained it poorly—English isn't my first language. 

 I didn't mean the control instructions. I meant the game could use a little more visual or audio feedback after pressing the buttons, like a stronger sound effect or animation to make the input feel more satisfying. The controls themselves were easy to understand! And don't worry about the music—it's still a really cool game, especially for your first Game Jam. Great job!
