Really interesting idea and good implementation. Had some lag issues but still enjoyed it!
Thx for enjoying this. We are fixing issues of web version right now. Pls waiting. XD
It fits the theme really well, and both the gameplay and effects are great. However, I’m not sure why, but the browser version was a little laggy for me.
Thx for ur comment. As the browser cannot work with some icon and vfx well, we actually recommend the win version. BTW, we will continue to update this project to make it stable. We already have a more stable version but we shouldn’t update it till the vote end.
Sweet mechanic!
THX for enjoying!!
Really enjoyed this! The mechanics are fun to interact with, the controls feel incredibly smooth and responsive, and everything ties into the game's theme so naturally. It all comes together to create a really satisfying experience.
THX for enjoying!! We’re glad that we could bring you an interesting gameplay experience!
Interesting core gameplay! and I’d love to see the HTML version's issue patched up in a future update :)

We will work on fixing these issues as soon as possible in future updates. Thank you so much for your support!
Thanks so much for playing! We’re really glad you enjoyed the core gameplay. If you liked the game, we’d really appreciate it if you added it to your collection. We’re currently working on fixing the HTML version, and the issue should be patched in a future update. Thanks for your patience! :)
what a style man, its so good to look at so beautiful. I really like the interpretation on the theme, gameplay is also great and very enjoyable, great puzzle design. Great game!

Nice take on the theme! The sequential explosions feel great. The levels's difficulty is ok (I can easily tell the route but takes some back and forward attemps to make the accurate explosions) and remind me the mobile game Cut the Rope. Got stuck after completing this level on web ( I wonder if it's the last stage)
After all great job!
THX for playing and enjoying our game!! We’re really glad that we were able to bring you an interesting gameplay experience!
I actually had Cut the Rope in mind when designing some of the levels. I used to love that game a lot when I was younger, although I didn’t intentionally reference it too much during the design process haha.
Congratulations on completing all of our available levels! We currently have 16 levels in total, but unfortunately, due to the limited development time, we didn’t have enough time to create a proper ending UI or a congratulations screen. We’re really sorry about that, and we hope to fix it in a future update!
Regarding your comment about needing some back-and-forth attempts, that was actually something I was aware of during the design process. However, since we only had 96 hours to develop the game, it was difficult to make major changes to the core mechanics within the remaining time.
The fact that you noticed this shows that you really experienced and thought about our game carefully. We truly appreciate such detailed feedback from players like you! It is extremely valuable for us and will help us improve the game in future updates. Thank you again for spending time playing our game!! XD
It was fun but I got a little stuck on lvl 12...
THX for enjoying!! We’re glad that we could bring you an interesting gameplay experience!
The lv12 is the first time you encounter the double creature-ball mechanic! It’s completely understandable to feel unsure when facing a new mechanic for the first time. For this level, you can think of it as two symmetrical paths, one above and one below. In the end, use the bomb on the left side to push both creatures into the goal at the same time!
Mechanics are simple to understand yet very fun to play around with! Levels are cleverly designed and it's super satisfying to watch it complete the level in the end through a sequence I set down

Interesting and perfectly on-theme, with just the right puzzle difficulty. The visuals are stunning, and the gameplay feels smooth and comfortable — really great work!

A super slick, fun, and thoughtful jam entry. Rated! Best of luck with the jam results!

We wish you the best as well! Hope you get a great result, and let’s keep pushing forward together.
Such a great mechanic! The beginning was a little confusing and took some time to figure out, but once I got it, I couldn’t stop playing.

The mechanics in this game are so cool! I love puzzle games like this. It took me some time to understand what exactly I had to do, but maybe thats because I didn't really read anything. The web version had some performance issues, but that is expected so no problem there (I also had this problem haha) Thanks for making this cool game!
THX for enjoying our game and ur support!!
Regarding the game mechanics, we actually do have an information hint mode! You can press “T” to enable it, then hover your mouse over objects to view their functions. The key binding is mentioned in the control hints at the bottom-left corner of the screen, but we agree that it might not be noticeable enough haha!
Btw, your game's art style is so impressive! I'm definitely going to try it out. XD
thx! actually u can download the windows version to have better experience. The web version has some issues that we have no time to fix
Excellent gameplay and level design! The art and music are fantastic too!
It took me a little while to understand the mechanics. Maybe adding a tuorial level would make it more beginner-friendly?
I got stuck on the level with the transparent red obstacles (not sure which level number it was). It would be nice if the current level number was displayed on the screen :D
THX for enjoying and sharing your suggestions!!!

As for the level numbering, you can press “Esc” to view the level order and your current progress at the top of the screen. You can also revisit previously completed levels if you’d like. However, we didn’t add a UI indicator for this feature, so thank you for pointing it out!
We really appreciate you taking the time to carefully play and experience our game. We’ll seriously consider your valuable feedback and make improvements!
The controls feel super smooth.The art style is great, and the effect when the timer explodes is really impactful. Once I got the hang of the mechanics, I had a lot of fun with it.
THX for enjoying!! I really love your cute birdwatching game. XD
Thank you! <3
我喜欢这个倒计时的玩法，是很棒的设计！！经过初期摸索很快就上手了，在4天内可以做出完成度这么高的作品太厉害了！！
感谢游玩！设计玩法的时候参考了一些以往jam的优秀作品。一开始的预期也是希望玩家在底引导的情况下也能理解游戏怎么运作的，谢谢你的喜欢！
The overall gameplay is really interesting! It is satisfying to see the bombs work together in perfect timing to complete the level. Also, the UI experience and the artwork is fantastic! Love the game!
thx for enjoying. We really put a lots of effect on our UI. hhh
really satisfying game loop. great work!
one of the more clever uses of the theme I've seen so far.
thx for enjoying. We carefully considered the theme and this all we got. It is nice to see it works!
It's really polished! Mechanic're so creative and fun. Definitely love the art style because it's so cute! And interactions of UI are very smooth. All of these points make my really enjoyed the game!
And the experience would get even better if there's a slow-motion option which allows players to clearly observe triggering timings of traps and movements of characters.
We would be super honored if you gave our GMTK Jam entry a try as well! Here it is: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4827829
Thx!! Yes, we do have a slow-motion mode! You can adjust the game speed in “Settings” → “Game”.
Wow, perfect! Sorry I missed it. Let me try again. XD
Wonderful work! All the parts are so beautiful and perfect! Great job myf
THX for enjoying!
