How does your game fit the theme?
The Towers COUNT the caged birds DOWN below. The games main mechanic - the towers gain power for each bird trapped directly under them. (Further explanation: we separate the 2 words count and down, so the towers get more power when they count more bird below them. )

Really liked the art and gameplay! Spent a long time trying to build a big tower. The difficulty curve also seems well thought out.

If I'm suggesting anything, maybe just make the sounds a bit punchier, it seemed like not much was happening even with loads of enemies around.

Birb is really glad you liked it. This feedback is very interesting I never would have thought about the sound like this but I definitely agree with you now that I think about it, Thank you.

Developer(+1)

yeah lol our sfx designer didn’t have time to make the absurd amount of sound effects we requested

Hot birb dawg.

I suck at this game but I see the potential! It's fun but by brain is terrible at setting it up.

Very well made concept and executed very well. The gameplay loop is clear enough that it's easy to understand. There is a lot of potential in this game, and it would be amazing to see a full release. Well done!

Also, birb.

Very cool concept!

Those cage-breakers really love to go to the farthest possible point from me to break the cage LOL. I like the dynamic when a power bird & a cage breaker show up at the same time, and you've gotta deal with the cage-breaker while also making sure that the power bird gets lured into the cage before it gets killed by your own towers.

I do wish the tooltip text was a little easier to read.

wish the birds spawned faster cause I'm too impatient lol, game looks and feels great otherwise though

Submitted(+1)

Coold idea! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D

Submitted(+1)

Woah!!! This is very very cool, not what I expected at all. I had a lot of fun playing this! 

Submitted(+1)

The lighting is amazing! The character controller was so good I thought it was gonna be a platformer at first lol. Very satisfying to capture the pesky birds. I got stuck in a cage tho ;-;

Developer

The birbs captured you😔

Submitted(+1)

the games great but I just cant get over how beautiful the art is, to be able to pull that off in such a short time, PLUS BONUS LEVELS, YOU DONT JUST DO THAT IN LESS THAN 4 DAYS!! Amazing game had me hooked all the way

Developer(+1)

impressed someone reached the bonus levels

I would never make a game about catching birds because I wouldn't think it could reach this level of fun, I'm just not as whimsical I guess. It might be a little loose and not bringing me to a "I should of thought of that" for a Count Down theme, but still a great outing!

Developer(+1)

Im so glad you enjoyed it, the theme integration is pretty weird we tried to seperate the 2 words count and down, so the towers get more power when they count more bird below them. Thank you so much for playing il make sure to check out your game😁

Maybe it doesn't fit the theme that well but it's surely a good game, the graphics and the progression felt really good

Developer(+2)

Its because the towers power is the COUNT of bird that are DOWN, directly below it. Thank you for playing and im glad you liked the progression❤️

Developer(+1)

I can see how splitting countdown into two separate words count and down can seem like a bit of a stretch for the tower power😅 but we have a monster that explodes on a ticking timer too though :)

Submitted(+2)

that was unique, im not sure if it fits the theme too well but it was a lot of fun, i would love to see a full version of this after the jam
