Of a Feather by Gumboot
Left / Right or A / D - Move
Space - Jump / Flap
Avoid the enemies and obstacles!
Gather your bird friends and take them to the next level without letting them perish!
Of a Feather is a tweetin cute platformer where you flap your way up the trees trying to avoid tree gators, foxes, hedgehogs, cacti, etc . Gather other birds along the way by flying close to them to progress from level to level, making sure to keep them close by and out of the danger that surrounds you. As you progress it will be harder to keep your feathered friends from falling victim to the circle of life.
Sound effects are remixed freesounds.
Update 1, edits and fixes based on feedback so far: - Fix clouds not moving - Hold Space, W or Up arrow for constant flapping - Faster fall speed when not moving left or right - Other birds can no longer push the player bird - Enabled the vertical parallax background

I loved how visually appealing this is, and it's enough of a spin on a flappy bird-esc gameplay that it feels new and challenging.
I didn't get much of a sens of verticality from the background being static,imo, adding some parallax layers in the bg would give this a nice cherry on top.
The art and sound are amazing!
Also, it seems really good programmed, like, all enemies and the "join" bird mechanic is really smooth.
until now the best game i saw (:
Really great job!
I enjoyed playing really long, at about ~18.000 points and 20 birds around you the progress got quite slowly. Therefore, I would suggest not to make it a marathon, but to separate it in different levels and not scaling by "more height to travel and more birds to carry" - but yeah it fit the theme quite perfectly :)
one more suggestion: don't make the blackbird collide with the others - quite annoying behaviour if you are waiting in position and getting bumped in random directions
it's a trap!
Um jogo simples com um feeling muito interessante. Gostei das mecânicas e especialmente dos efeitos sonoros!
You should be very proud of this game.
The level design & difficulty seemed good. The ambient noises were also pleasant.
I love the elegant design, calm zen atmosphere of all the cute colorful birds flying around. Lovely little jam game very well designed and tons of gameplay. I got to level 10 with 30,000 points!
Congratulations on a job well done!
How about adding some chanllenges?
Especially when you have to leave someone behind. Just make it harder to do so. The game would be better.
