Awesome game! I really love the feel of the combat and the visuals/vibes. Excellently done!
It's a hilarious concept. I love the design of the birds, and the simple animation really gives it a stop-motion feel. Love the attention to detail when removing items from the character too.
Also, there's something familiar about those birds... I guess you could say it's Beaky Blinders.
OK, I'll see myself out.
Really good implementation for a 3D game! Loved the different animals and their jazzy objects. Really neat!
i like how the upgrades are backwards. makes a really unique design. the aim for the gun was off though.
asolutely loved the quirky enemy designs! having to surrender your upgrades round after round is a really creative way to handle the count down theme. really fun to play!
You made all these models just for the jam?! That is incredible work. The murder of crows (pigeons?) holding knives is my favourite for sure.
Honestly would have loved gameplay that showed the cool models off a lot more. Maybe an actual murder-mystery game? That said, I did enjoy the Hades-like roguelike arena battler that you went with. When you go for combat as the primary mechanic, make sure to add juice and player feedback everywhere. There is a little here with the particle effects, but not enough. Add some knockback, screenshake and every little place you can. Otherwise combat doesn't feel very punchy.
Overall an alright game with some exceptional 3D models. Shout-out to the artists on your team!
The artwork is phenomenal! Also the gameplay is fun
Took me longer than I want to admit to get it “fowl” lol, gg!
I survived, for now.
Cool narrative and artwork! Creative mechanic with the de-leveling, choosing to sacrifice things as you count down your items. Love the birds and limited animation style.
love this artstyle and animations with it! Maybe will be great idea put some noir shaders over this visual
The art style is great, especially the group of weird ducks coming at you with spears! The game is really fun, but it would be even better if there was a way to regain health. Great job
Thank you for playing! While we don't have a proper tutorial, you can regain health by pressing the F key. Every round you gain a potion that heals health. Although, part of the sacrifice system does mean giving up health or potions the further you go.
This game has a lot of charm to it. I liked the characters, the theme, and the vibe. Great work!
It's really fun to play, all the enemy types are so well designed and unique. The countdown on both time and ability also made it super interesting!
Absolutely fowl-tastic character designs.
The sass on those birds :o
Thank you! I had a ton of fun with them!
In what fever dream did you come up with this idea? The stop motion animation style is really pretty. The game is genuinely so fun I kept playing for a long time. Very creative entry!
I take this as a great compliment, thank you!
Great job, genuinely!
look at all those chickens
Fun take on the theme with the de-powering countdown, and the models look fantastic
Also i loved the stabby gang of pigeons
Very interesting concept! I really like the models you made, the birds look really cool and quirky in the nicest way. Good job!
really cool game , i liked the ideia of de-leveling as it goes in every round, just the controls i find a bit hard some times to aim , but overall a good gameplay exeperience
Really enjoyed this game. The concept of a reverse roguelite with the time you have left before losing powers as the inclusion of the countdown theme was very neat! Great game!
