The visuals and art create a really nice atmosphere. I found the birds a little difficult to photograph, though, since they often disappeared by the time I got close to them.

There also seems to be a bug when walking south from the pumpkin field, as I couldn’t find a way to get back afterward.

I wasn’t sure what the shop was for. Maybe you’ll be able to unlock items later to attract different birds?

Wow! The artwork is so cute!! And love the bird sound. Sometimes, we can go off from the background and maybe when we succeed there would be some hint that we succeed or failed. Or when we take picture there is some feedback? but other than that Great job!! Love the camera zooming system.

I really like the presentation of this. I'm a big fan of the little 3d areas, they look like something out of a popup book! The bird designs are also really cute.

splendid artwork I really like all the parts of your game and it is really charming. Of course I really want to play it many times and it is very hard to do this game in such a short time!but you did a great job

WTF. THE. ART. IS. CRAZY. 

The sheer amount of assets created for this game is beyond comprehension—your artists are superhuman! Apart from the art, the content in this game really blew my mind. Most GMTK games are shorter with repetitive gameplay, but this game really immerses you in its world and narrative. I would LOVE to see more from this game in the future. Well done!

A very relaxing game! The visuals and music are both lovely and calming. ´ ᵕ ` ♡

As a laptop player, it would be nice to have a keyboard alternative to the mouse wheel. (Luckily, I eventually found an external mouse.)

The X icon in the top-right corner of the CAMERA screen made me instinctively try clicking it. It took me a moment to realize I was supposed to right-click to exit. Maybe replacing the X with a clearer text hint would help avoid this confusion?

Finding the birds was a lot of fun, and I had a great time playing this charming little game!

(P.S. I think I ran into a bug after running down the bridge. The screen disappeared, but I could still hear the running sound.)

Thank you so much for trying out our game and taking the time to leave such detailed and heartwarming feedback! We truly appreciates it. Sorry that we completely overlooked the mouse wheel issue! Thank you for pointing it out, along with other details and suggestions. Our team was formed specifically for this game jam, but I hope we’ll get the chance to polish this game in the future.

The art style and music fit together perfectly! The visuals are absolutely adorable, and the whole game feels so relaxing. It's amazing that you finished all the art in just four days—seriously impressive! Great game! 

(By the way, I found a small bug where you can get outside the map near the bottom-right corner of the pond.)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate it!

好厉害的美术,好多可爱的鸟,但是我觉得有一点可能是对我来说指引有点不够 ,就是右键打开相机之后我都不知道怎么去抓拍,希望能够在屏幕上加一个按键提示这样的不知道可不可行

Developer

感谢反馈!!确实有这个问题。相机拍摄键位是鼠标左键,我们设置的判定是在鸟放大到足够大且没有明显的遮挡物时才能拍摄,可能有些太苛刻了。

Thank you for the feedback! This is indeed an issue. You can take a photo with left mouse button, but there are some limit conditions. A picture can only be taken when the bird appears large enough in the frame and is not significantly obscured, but the requirements may be a little too strict.

Your interpretation of the theme is so interesting! The details of the different bird species are incredibly well crafted, and turning birdwatching into a game is such a creative idea!

Super strong Art work, feels very complete. Amazing how your team managed all of this within 96hs!

Very meditative vibe. Suggest adding some sound when NPCs run text. Also add collider walls to prevent the player from falling off the edge :D

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! 96 hours was really tight for us. We couldn't fully test and adjust many things. We mainly divided the art work into three parts, including map, animation, and UI. The final effect thanks entirely to our incredible art team!

观鸟人狂喜!Super cute game! I absolutely adore the art style—it has so much charm. As a birder, I was especially excited by all the little details that feel true to real birdwatching. You can really tell the developers paid attention to the experience, and those small touches made me smile the whole time. A lovely game with a lot of heart!
