I've heard many people getting stuck on the flowers one... Funny because I was so worried about it being too easy so I tried to make it as difficult as possible to avoid that. 
The two linked letters one I thought was so clever when I came up with it, but in practice people have just found it difficult and annoying, oh well.

In hindsight I could have made that section of letters much simpler to ease people into it a bit better.

The next section of puzzles is even less intuitive by the way, so I completely don't blame you for stopping at that point. I think that solving them may require somehow figuring out exactly what I was thinking when I came up with them.

Here are the rot13 solutions in case you or anybody else is curious though:

Hello, thank you for playing 😄

Yes, I think this game might actually be too hard for anybody. To my knowledge nobody has ever beaten this game outside of playtesting (and playtester required a bit of nudging to be honest...)

This was the first game I ever finished so it's too be expected that it's a bit flawed.

Since playtesting I made some changes to hopefully make it easier, but I never fully retested afterwards. I wonder if I could have accidentally made it more difficult or even impossible to complete.

Perhaps one day I will receive a comment from an incredibly stubborn person who has somehow managed to complete this.

I'm interested to know how far you managed to get before getting stuck?

The tutorial is very cute and I like the combination of the art and the ambience.

I'm not really sure I understood how all the mechanics fitted together though, I was mostly placing randomly and hoping for the best. I maxed out on moa though, so I was doing something right clearly, maybe it was spamming thunderstorms on the eagles as much as possible? Is it possible for the eagles to starve if they don't eat enough I wonder?

There is a bug when I started this where it wasn't sized correctly but it was fixed by zooming the window in and out.

(Lol at the "Flappy Bird" tag. Yeah it does have those!)

Hi, hope you have enjoyed the game so far :)

It sounds like you've figured out G already, but just to confirm:

(Using Rot13 for spoilers)

Lbh tbg gur ebbz rnfg bs gur tnmrob ebbz, pbeerpg?

As for the remaining clues:

Lbh jba'g or noyr gb fbyir O, V naq G jvgubhg fbyivat N svefg gb aneebj qbja gur cbffvoyr fcnprf.

In order to solve this:

Gurerf n ovg bs n pbaprcghny yrnc lbh arrq gb znxr urer. Gur fvta arne jurer lbh sbhaq V (va gur L ebbz) vf zrnag gb uryc jvgu guvf pyhr.

Specifically:

Lbh arrq gb abgvpr gung gurer vf n ybbc va gur znc fgnegvat ng gur ragenapr naq tbvat jrfg be rnfg. Gurer vf ab qverpg cngu lbh pna jnyx ba, ohg gur ebbzf ner pbaarpgrq va n jnl gung tbvat ubevmbagnyyl sbhe gvzrf jbhyq oevat lbh onpx gb jurer lbh fgnegrq.

In other words:

Tbvat jrfg guerr gvzrf sebz gur ragenapr vf rdhvinyrag gb tbvat rnfg bapr. Vs jr nffhzr gung vf gehr rireljurer va gur tneqra (guvf vf jung gur fvta jnf zrnag gb uvag gbjneqf), gura gung jvyy or gehr ng gur sbhagnva nf jryy, zrnavat N vf gur ebbz rnfg bs gur sbhagnva.

Once you've solved that:

Gurer ner abj guerr erznvavat ebbzf lbh pna npprff: Gur ebbz jvgu gur cbaq, gur ragenapr tngr naq gur ragenapr gb gur ubhfr. Guvf zrnaf gung "V" vf abj fbyinoyr, vs jr ybbx ng nyy gur ebbzf jr pna ernpu ol zbivat nqwnpragyl 4 ebbzf. (Abgr gung nqwnprag zrnaf gur ebbzf orvat arkg gb rnpu bgure, abg arprffnevyl gung gurer vf n qverpg cngu lbh pna jnyx orgjrra gurz, V ubcr zl pyhrf znqr gung pyrne? V jnf jbeevrq nobhg cbffvoyr zvfvagrecergngvbaf gurer.)

Solution:

Gur ubhfr naq gur cbaq ner obgu guerr zbirf njnl sebz gur ragenapr tngr. Gur pbeerpg nafjre vf tbvat sbhe ebbzf rnfg be jrfg naq raqvat hc onpx ng gur fgneg. Fb "V" vf gur ragenapr tngr.

Then the final clue for this set:

Jr unir gjb erznvavat ebbzf, fb bar bs juvpu vf "O" naq gur bgure vf "G". Fvapr jr abj xabj "N" jr whfg arrq gb svther bhg juvpu vf gur pybfre bar, "O", naq juvpu bar vf shegure, "N". Orpnhfr gur pyhr fcrpvsvrf "geniryyvat" vg zrnaf "ebhgrf lbh pna jnyx ba" abg "nqwnprag ebbzf" yvxr gur bgure pyhrf. (Gurl ner obgu guerr nqwnprag ebbzf njnl sebz N vs lbh pbhyq jnyx guebhtu jnyyf). Nyfb abgr gung orpnhfr bs bar-jnl whzcf, gur fubegrfg ebhgr sebz "O" gb "N" vf qvssrerag sebz "N" gb "O".

Solution:

Gur cbaq ebbz vf gur fubegre cngu, fb vg vf "O" naq gur ubhfr vf ybatre, fb vg vf "G".

Does this all make sense? Let me know if you found any of the clues misleading or incorrect somewhere.

There's some more tough puzzles later too, feel free to ask if you get stuck anywhere else.
