This game has been nominated for over 17 golden globe awards, countless Emmy awards, and the Nobel Prize.  \r\n\r\n----------------------------\r\n\r\nI promised myself I would put out SOMETHING in 48 hours, even if it was barely functional.  This thing is hanging by a thread, but by god I got it out there, and does it feel good.  So yeah, it's a weird pikmin-inspired game where you fight robots and have to reach the end without losing all of your birds.  It's extremely short, can be beaten in ~2 minutes, and is extremely barebones.  Honest feedback very welcome.  \r\n\r\n----------------------------\r\nCONTROLS:  Move with the arrow keys, look with the mouse.  that's all you need.  You can press 'R' to restart the game if you get stuck.  \r\n\r\nEDIT: To attack objects (like the glowing red power generators, and enemies) simply run into them and your ducks will attack.  They have some health but will die eventually. Sorry if this is unclear :) \r\n\r\nLinux and Mac builds untested, tell me if there are any problems.  \r\n\r\nEDIT: a chunk of text is missing in the intro.  It's basically the deepest lore about how how robots took over humanity.  Sorry about that. \r\n\r\n-------------------------------\r\n\r\nThanks y'all, and congrats on all entrants who made it this far!  It was a ton of fun!","title":"Bird Runner"}
