Basebird by dvdfu

[raw]
made by dvdfu for LD35 (JAM)
It's a bird! It's a baseball! Actually, it's both. Pick up yellow feathers to shapeshift and soar through the skies in this short, relaxing journey to the stratosphere and beyond.

Use the Up/Down arrow keys to steer as a baseball, or the Up arrow key to flap as a bird.

This is rad!

The music and art is looooovely, the game-play succinct and to the point.

It's such a perfect and contained experience, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I became lost after missing the first couple of feathers, so I had to restart the game. Went perfectly second time though. A very relaxing experience.

@mard: which version of LOVE are you using? I believe it should work with 0.10.1 (I'm also using Ubuntu 15.10)

Creative and cute.

Very relaxing to play, and the animations are very satisfying.

Maybe the best music I've heard so far!

The ending made me laugh...and then just happy.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is wonderful.

So nice! It felt like a poem in the form of a little game. I loved the music, and the visuals of the trip were really beautiful. In didn't expect to enjoy something so short this much!

When I surfed a cloud and saw puffs of the cloud fly off my feathers, I felt entranced! When I realized I could hit a feather as a ball to speed up, I felt excited. If you continue to design this, for one feather, the bird overlapped the left edge for a frame but I didn't transform into a ball.

fairly easy and simple gameplay, beat it in about 35 seconds, but it was a pleasant and relaxing experience!

Thank you for making this game, I hove how the music and art style blend so well together. I wanted more of it, so I was pretty disappointed when there wasn't another ending when you landed on the ground.
