(I entered the game only after reading all the comments, so I expected the slowdowns in controls manifestation and overall lag. So i went in expecting them and was able to focus on the core gameplay you guys worked so hard on)

Very interesting concept. You somehow managed to connect upwards verticality with downwards counting. And quite effectively too! Not to mention (because everyone else already has) the cutesy artstyle makes me never wanna leave the world you guys created. 

i can't wait to see how well the game feels, once you fix all the current issues in the game :)

Please do try my short game and give me your opinions as well. I've built a game that i wanna grow and ship someday :)

What a cute game! Unfortunately I ran into some issues with how the game deals with fullscreen on the itch page but with a bit of perseverance I managed to run it. I loved the character and enjoyed the fun and wonky vibe. Going inside the tower was truly a highlight for me but I couldn't go very far because of the issues I had.

Thanks for playing, and sorry about the issue you had, we only had them in the web version, and left it too late to fix and submit :( For anyone else reading this, we think you can fix this issue by pressing escape to enter the pause menu then pressing resume. We will check out your game too!

I LOVE THIS - any game that has birbs in it is a winner. I didn't do very well but thats 100% a skill issue, but I had a ton of fun pooping out exploding eggs and trying to hop onto nests. Great job, very creative and I can imagine it took a lot to make the assets. Well done on making this in only 4 days!
