I like that the dodo is so oblivious that you need to watch every single step and make sure it doesn't die.
Good job to all those involved!
also the art is great and i like the dodo sound x)
This was SO fun!! I definitely improved, but the river was my downfall. :sob: The art is fantastic, and the music loop is perfect! I feel like this could be really well adapted to a tablet or mobile game, like Tiny Wings? So fun and so great!
ETA the Dodo Facts are hilarious and a super polished add-on to this game. Love the detail.
