Feeding Time by TimBeaudet

[raw]
made by TimBeaudet for LD27 (JAM)
As a hummingbird, your high metabolism requires constant feeding. If you don't find a flower to eat within 10 seconds, you will perish. Don't think it will be an easy journey to that flower. There are plenty of obstacles to avoid, if you can.

Wow, it's hilarious that my girlfriend is working on a similar game. She told me about the idea last week. :D

It's so pretty! Good work, it was really hard though, or I'm a bit rubbish at games that require any sort of immediate reaction. I enjoyed it though. :-)

It is extremely hard. Although this was a jam entry we only spent 48 hours on it. Our upcoming post-mortem will tell the story of why the games are so hard. In short, lack of testing and level design pushed until last moments. Literally we didn't even get to play the last level before uploading...

Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the difficulty but the game is beatable, and it will bring you back to the first level and repeat once you do beat it.

Interesting little game, the graphics are really nice but I felt like the controls were a little strange feeling. It's a pretty design helicopter running type game. The sounds could be a little high pitched at times. But other than that, its a pretty solid game.

The game was good fun until that. One. Level. FSFSFSFSGSG. The frogs had me yelling at the screen.

I enjoyed the game immensely up to that point. The graphics are cute, and the music is nice. The levels were pretty decent until the last one.

A post-LD version with more (possible to finish!) levels is very welcome. Good job. :)

Lovely graphics.

And this game was so brutally hard, the first two levels were cake but the difficulty ramped up significantly in 3 and 4.

I liked the controls for the most part (dropping when you didn't press any buttons felt natural, moving up and down was fine) but it was annoying that you stopped moving at all when you were on the bottom of the screen. I think if you would have continued to move then it would have been nicer.

Music was a little minimalistic but had some promise. It seemed a little too industrial/electronic for the style though, I would have expected something more light and airy.

Overall the concept is promising and there's potential here with some tuning!

I like how you play as a hummingbird, it's not a common playable character :)

Nice concept!
