It was interesting, as well. The overall gameplay got a bit repetitive after a while though, as there's a lot of exploring without much to do."},{"author_name":"whilefun","author_uid":"7424","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 4:08am","epoch":1461038580,"text":"Wow, cool idea. I enjoyed running as the bird, and sort of gliding start into flying from hillsides. With some smoother "gain altitude"\/"flap" motion, this could really be a neat thing to just play for relaxation. Neat! :)"},{"author_name":"toastedgames","author_uid":"86271","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 4:35am","epoch":1461040200,"text":"Cool experience!

I would have liked to get a better "flapping" motion. One thing I had hoped to add was a jet stream mechanic that would carry you to the different regions of the map, which I thought would balance aspect of the game."},{"author_name":"apalade","author_uid":"89846","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:46pm","epoch":1461105660,"text":"I was actually a little creeped out when I got to the bottom of the tower.

This game was eerie and creepy. Even with flight I felt trapped. Thank you for this experience. \rThe flight did feel more like levitation than bird flight. tapping space bar to flap wings was fine but the jarring motion of it was not so good. smooth it out a bit and make it more fluid and like the flight of a bird. Other than that, good job. I particularly liked the volcano pit."},{"author_name":"Catwheel","author_uid":"46337","time":"May 4, 2016 @ 4:37am","epoch":1462336320,"text":"I REALLY Liked your game, but maybe that's because I really like exploration games. I really enjoyed moving around as a bird, but I honestly felt that the hawks were a bit unnecessary. The main joy I got out of the game was exploring the world while being able to turn into a bird, but when I see a hawk it pretty much broke up that play, but not in a fun or interesting way. Dieing after 2 hawks was rough, and not being able to restart in a close position really killed my fun. However, I really think that with a good theme and set of 3D art, some refined world gen, maybe some puzzles, I'd buy a game like this that was all about exploration."},{"author_name":"Satyre","author_uid":"27634","time":"May 5, 2016 @ 11:27am","epoch":1462447320,"text":"Even though there is a lot of potential polishing that can be done, you managed to create a suprisingly interesting atmosphere that I liked a lot. This could be a very nice game when you use it to create a "shamanic" experience. I wished to see the the human and bird from 3rd perspective to feel the transformation more. Great work :)"}],"images":["ld35\/88764-ba1c9e8283fb153ef533b509c28e28ca.jpg","ld35\/88764-65aed4cce687d8186e02884995a851c1.jpg","ld35\/88764-0566069dda83e1758a8a5b8c2be02381.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/ramza.itch.io\/claudias-exit","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"3722","g_author":"88764","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"3734","g_title":"Claudia's Exit","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"954","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/88764-shot0-1461019358.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/88764-shot1-1461019358.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/88764-shot2-1461019358.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Claudia is a shape shifter who can transform into a bird at will.
