your web link just leads to the source, not a playable version.

The concept is cool but it seems a bit too random. Maybe a bit more of clues would have been great.

Hi, Thanks for playing, it is not Random, it is a memory/ trial and error game

The controls feel good, and the overall gameplay is really enjoyable, but I dont really get the theme hre...

No sound and frustrating repetition. Those are my complaints. Maybe a menu and unlockable levels would do some good to this game.

Other than that, it's fine and had some fun with it.

The gameplay is 100% trial and error, and in that respect the concept is inherently flawed. Next time try to spend more time on the design aspect and figure out how you can make the gameplay more engaging.

Would be nice if there was less trial and error to this. Maybe some sort of hint or clue about the correct path.

I couldn't get the game to work. It crashes the second I click the .exe.

It really needs some kind of clue, or maybe a way to get more birds to send to their death ;)

I like the graphics and way the birds hop around.

Couldn't get it to work, it doesn't open at all.

I beat all 4 levels but mainly through sheer rage, I'm not sure this is a great premise for a game, the hopping birds following you were ace though!

it's really trial and error, could have benefited from sound as well. The concept is interesting, I just feel that a little bit more strategy could help a lot with this! The animation was pretty damn endearing too.

Die and retry is a design flaw, not a feature.
The concept could be interesting if you added another game mechanic. With a little more work, you got something.

Can't play windows games, any chance we could get a web version?

As others have pointed out, the trial-and-error approach isn't terribly fun. Nice work on the birds, though.

Trial and error gameplay without any kind of clues really doesn't work, sorry :(

Sorry, I couldnt get it to run (Win7). Extracted it and try to trun it but nothing happened.

Annoying that if you fail at a level it takes you back to the start rather than just to the beginning of that level, but in general I liked the concept, and it was pretty fun to play

Overall it was fun to play, but the lack of sound was a pity.
I liked the colorful little birds!
