I ended up playing this game for over half an hour before winning. I love it. I really would see this game as a fun mobile game, so I really hope that you keep developing it after the jam. The graphics were awesome and fitted the game well, so did the sound effects too. Only thing I have to complain is the camera: I died way too many times after cimbing a high tree and then landing on a fox because I didn't see the ground. Other than that there is really nothing else I can think of to complain about. Overall really really solid entry, good work!

**Nice game!** Really good art, I love the main character :chicken:
The gameplay was well thought out and it was fun to try and protect your eggs.

It felt a bit harsh to die as soon as you touched the foxes though, protecting the eggs was difficult enough, at least for me :sweat_smile:
Overall, great job!

This game really has character, I like the style and feeling of it.

On the other hand, I think the camera can definitely be improved, it's very easy to get killed by falling on a fox or even walking into one that came from off screen. I also found it a bit too easy to accidentally push your own eggs out of the nests, which was also frustrating; is it necessary to be able to push them?

Over all, a pretty cute game, with great atmosphere, but the mechanics were a bit frustrating at times.

I got a little bit conffuse at the start with the controlers and the gameplay. I loved the art the sound!

Nice graphics. I wish the controls were a bit smoother. May be also have a health on the hen to not die instantly when it touches a fox - especially from above.

A very cute game with great graphics but also challenging. I think the camera view could be improved since it was hard for me to see the ground when I was flying down, so I ended up hitting the fox and died. I also flew all the way to the sky and could not figure out how to fly down.

Loved the graphics. I think there was a good level of difficulty here and the mechanics made sense. The controls were pretty hard to master and felt a bit awkward to move with WASD/arrow keys and then to use actions with N/G.

Wonderful artwork, and the bird sound effects really added something special to it.

I'm sad to say I didn't manage to raise a single chick. :frowning:

The camera was a little slow to catch me up when I sent the bird flapping into the trees, if you do continue with it , post-compo, a little tweaking there would be welcome. Maybe by limiting the maximum distance the camerea can get from the player.

Very pleasing game. Ambiance is sweet and characters are funny. The game play is very original and well thinking for the theme. If the control would be better it would be a perfect entry (The movements of the bird are a bit flabby and it make the game very difficult.) And rather than an infinite jump, just an up movement would be enough, in my humble opinion. Otherwise it's very pleasant to manage and take care of the nest. Congratulation! (By the way, I made a game close to yours :) A bird who have to take care of chicks. But the mood and system is different)
