The bird works perfectly and is well animated.

The bird animations are great, the map itself could use some work on the graphics side (perhaps a green floor would have been nicer?).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After multiple attempts at either level I was unable to finish the game and get a score :\/, it could really use some checkpoints or shorter levels. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>It was frustrating to die very far into the level by a green bullet (which are hard to see with the blue background)."},{"author_name":"oskardevelopment","author_uid":"21518","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:56am","epoch":1429505460,"text":"Quite hard to understand how to play. I thought the idea of a bird was different, though I think it should be more information earlier of how to use it for damaging enemies. Nice use of multiple types of enemies! Good luck!"},{"author_name":"seankimdesign","author_uid":"38879","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:03am","epoch":1429505880,"text":"Contrary to what the screenshots suggested, the game proved to be charming and enjoyable.

I wasnt planning seperate maps at start so first one was meant to be the entire game. I should probably split that one into 2 seperate parts. And for controlls it would be awesome if you guys try to write a how to play thing. i could add a part. I cant empathize with a person playing it for like first time so probably the game is too hard ( Sorry B( )."},{"author_name":"SuperPokeunicorn","author_uid":"9858","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:15pm","epoch":1429564200,"text":"Love the unique weapon. The game started out slow, but got more interesting as encounters got more complicated. It almost became a puzzle game really. Btw, you mentioned that you were getting an error when you tried to launch my game. That bug should be fixed now."},{"author_name":"guigrillo13","author_uid":"49549","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 10:31pm","epoch":1429655160,"text":"Cool little game!"},{"author_name":"sorlok","author_uid":"28370","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 11:07pm","epoch":1429657320,"text":"Neat idea; with there was some audio feedback (and maybe a gold counter).

I like harder games so I had no problem with the one hit k.o. character, but it does cause problem when you don't try that hard. I'd suggest a health system, it would cause more &quot;action packed&quot; gameplay eventually.

You will use the bird as a weapon in order to make bird reach to the cage. To kill an enemy simply send the bird towards it. Bird will keep pecking enemy till it dies. Then call the bird so you can kill other enemies. You can collect some gold on the way. There is 2 different maps for playing.\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT: Set quality to fantastic for non glitched graphics. And play it in 1024x768 so menus dont look weird.\r\n\r\nNOTES ABOUT POST COMPO BUILDS: There is not a big difference. You can just play the post compo and rate. Just assume that there was no tutorial. And there was no Map4 and Map5. I did some minor changes on sprites but my entry is not open for voting about Graphics anyway.\r\n\r\n(There is a problem with WebGL compiling on my pc. If you can build my source for me please leave a comment)\r\n\r\n(Linux and Mac builds are untested i just clicked build on my pc. So just tell if they are working or not)\r\n\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nWASD to walk.\r\nMouse for aiming.\r\nLeft Click Send\/Call bird.\r\n\r\nNotes about mechanics:\r\nIf bird hits an enemy it will start pecking(switching through some shitty sprites) and damaging enemy.\r\nYou can't call the bird back if bird cant see you. (a.k.a. Raycast hits something which is not you).\r\nIf you call bird back before she kills an enemy that enemy will be stunned for a short time.","title":"Bird Quest"}
