I really liked the inverting branches idea, but there are a few things that would benefit from an improvement:\n* Add a concrete marker in weather line, so the player could see exact moment of change and plan accordingly. I caught myself a few times expecting branch change, only to find out I jumped to early and fall through the branch appeared just a few miliseconds later.\n* Even though the light branch pattern is exact opposite from dark branches, it would still be really helpful to show ghost branches. Maybe add an option to hide them completely as it is now.\n* I found, that branch colliders in respect to the birdy was rather unforgiving. Not once I though I was going to make it to the branch only to fall through. Or trying to stand at the edge of the branch only to find myself falling down already with (almost) no way to get back. Could just missplaced colliders on branches and the birdie.\n* This might be intended gameplay feel, but I found, that branches very slippery to walk on them.\n* Having same lateral control in the air as on ground was rather interesting - with sensitive air controls it was very easy to miss the branch.\n\nOne thing that might have helped a bit with almost all noted \"issues\", would be to give a small amount of collectibles, that would, by using the collectible up, allow double jumping.\n\nOverall I had fun playing, enough though the best I could muster was ~57 seconds :joy: ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld50\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/theus-bueno.itch.io\/rising-bird","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1E8V8PsKPzbx9vx--eGsSbBHxNIIU-nGQ\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"83176","g_author":"1237570","g_event":"LD50","g_eventkey":"110","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"388979","g_title":"RISING BIRD","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"287393","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"287393","n_urlkey":"388979","n_parent":"276397","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/rising-bird","n_slug":"rising-bird","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"237570","n_created":"1649006918","n_modified":"1778604603","n_version":"887895","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD50","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":237570,"body":"![rising bird banner 2.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/200\/a3\/z\/4979e.jpg)\n\n*Just like falling, flying is part of ours lives.*\n \nIn this game you'll control a little bird who is to scared to fly, so instead, he'll jump branch to branch trying to get as far as possible from the ground.\n\nGet ready to take flight with our little friend and maybe (who knows???) you'll find that falling is just a part of the process. \n\n## Update 04\/04\/2022\nWe finished our JAM version of the game.
