Nice game. The low poly art style is nicely utilised, giving a sleek look all over. The music was chirpy and fits in with the game. Although, the game became a bit glitchy after the blue bird met the pink one.

This is a great game! The gameplay is quick enough to learn that it makes it fun right away. I also like that it is fairly educational and that you actually see the new trees growing.

The simplified 3D is really awesome-looking. I loved the trees in particular. Very cheery and chirpy. Great job!

Nice game and nice graphics.
Do the food (fruit) are of any use? like the bird poo "better"? (can't imagine I just say that :o)

@paps, the fruit is currently symbolic and educational more than anything. If I had another hour, I'd make the fruit combinations relate to different poo, which in turn grows different trees, which you can then eat to make even more different trees. I'm very happy you enjoyed the game. Thank you for playing it and giving some feedback!

Thought this was gonna be a 3d flappy birds clone at first!

Nice game, graphics simple but beatiful, the initial idea of my game had a Bird too, but than we changed. Nice entry.

Can we please have a sequel in which bird seeks medical treatment for his poor destroyed poopshoot?

Too bad there isn't a birdpoo category in the ratings. This was fun and nicely put together.

Also to answer your question, no I don't currently live in Brisbane, but I did until very recently :)

Hi there. Excellent fun. Love the look and feel. Ran really smoothly on W8.1 laptop/Chrome. Like the plinky-plonky music too. Good job!

Nice graphics!

I would've like to have more of a game though. Perhaps if there were some obstacles, and planets placed in a way that they were tricky to get to.

This is hilarious and fun. Toilet humour always goes down well, and the game has a colourful cartoony vibe.

A BIRD SIMULATOR! Wow, that was quite something, I had never seen a bird poop so much myself. Great take on the theme, lots of fun and humour. Well done!

I had fun flapping around and helping the eco-system. It is a good start for something that could become an interesting mechanic given more variation in the landscapes and the landscape reacting the cross-fertilization job the player is doing.

Fun idea - really like the take on connecting worlds. Lovely colourful graphics and smooth controls.

This game is brilliant. I love the biology lesson mixed with a fun concept. While it is quite easy and simple it does have some interesting mechanics that set it apart from most games. Would love to see an improved version of this!

I was scared it'd be Flappy Bird 3D, but it was something altogether more juvenile :)

It took a while to work out that those red things flying at me weren't missiles.

If you sit on a world, you poop, trees grow and then their fruit throws itself at you and you poop some more and you just rack up eh points. A kind of vicious circle really :)

Maaaaan, that poop sound effect. Sounds awfully wet. :)

Very cool!
I love the graphical style and the idea behind this! :)
Nice interpretation of the theme! :)
Oh, and landing on an island kinda breaks the game, since you'll spawn very fast a lot of trees. (eating berries, pooping, eating berries, pooping ...)
