Terror Bird Feeding Frenzy by jwin
You are a Terror Bird (gigantic, flightless bird, now extinct), and there's nothing you love quite as much as food. Luckily, the humans are having a festival so they're all carrying around tasty food. Run in and grab as much as you can before they can react.
This game was heavily inspired by my girlfiend's quaker parrot, Pepper Pot, who can sometimes be quite the little monster. He loves stealing human food, and often thinks he's bigger and scarier than he actually is.

I loved this game. Play the tutorial, it's worth it to learn the moves and it's not tedious at all.
My favorite bit was the screech, and wathing all the humans drop their food and run. Funny stuff!
The game itself was really really easy... I mean, the only enemy is yourself. I guess to get the high score you would need to sprint more, and then you would run the risk of running out of energy.
5/5. 10/10. 11/10. Would eat ice cream and bananas again.
Music and sound feedbacks are great and goes well with the visual design and main character; the controls are always responsive and I never got stuck or anything; and the normal game mode makes me want to try again to beat my score (38 so far) !
Great job!
ps: as long as it's the jam, if reusing old graphics gives you more time to make a better game overall then it's 100% win in my opinion :)
Another good idea is the tutorial
Yeah! Good idea, and even better execution. I ate so much trash. It did seem like people were forever scared of me after screeching.
Really like the wide-range of movement controls. Not a fan of the controls for consuming food, however, due to its repetitive nature. Perhaps a combo system or a more efficient way of consuming is possible? Either way, had a lot more fun that I thought. Looks really nice, too!
Cute game, nice design. The gameplay is pretty smooth but the bird is real floaty, and I feel like there could probably be more variety to it. Overall very solid though.
I love this art and the idea~
