Hahah this is so great! Love the art and the animations, music is also really good! Nice mechanic also that I think works really well. Great job! :bird:

Bird-acious! LOTS of attention to detail with the animations, text, and of course excellent bird humor everywhere. Great job on that. I feel like more time should have been devoted to gameplay though. I can't see much other strategy other than choosing randomly in a rock-paper-scissors game. Maybe there is strategy, but if so it wasn't explained well, at least to me. I didn't have much fun playing. But it was very entertaining to look and listen to the game!

Great graphics and style overall, but I didn't find the gameplay fun at all. It's basically a 5-item rock-paper-scissors, and that means that the "choose randomly" strategy is effectively unbeatable.

There's probably a bit more to the battle system that I'm missing, but I just didn't find it interesting to play.

super great artistic style!
the game seems to run well but the controls are definitely a bit to get your head around. it plays more like a rock paper scissors kinda game than anything which is pretty neat !

i'd love to see this with its bolts tightened up a little bit c: great work!

Awesome game, love the art, heaps of fun to play!

Things I liked:
* The characters. I wish there was more than 4 but all of them were super fun and well balanced. You even managed some really cool animations. Birds in robots is so ridiculous but it works so well.
* Humor was #birdtastic. Seriously.
* The rest of the art was professional-level quality, too. I like it when people take care with even how they present common controls.

What was ok:
* I thought the card-based element was well implemented but perhaps not taken far enough in design terms. Here the cards just felt like a gimmick to mask the real control, which was still keyboard buttons, pretty standard for fighting games. Just something to emphasize that they're cards and not just buttons on a keyboard would help.
* The difficulty was good but I could swear the game was cheating on anything except the lowest difficulty. I found trying to put together my combinations didn't really yield any cool results.

Ideas for next time:
* Music was super well-chosen. Sound effects are super too, so try to put some of those into the game ;)
* I didn't think the gameplay was super deep. I literally won several games by just hitting QWE-RT (fa-tweet-ity!) ... so yeah, that's a problem because in a turn-based game, the whole point is to slow down and think about your moves, what you can do and what threats your opponent might have. In a regular fighting game it's not so much a problem because it's all action based and people just button mashed. Pretty soon that's what I just did here.

I heavily appreciate the bird puns. Fantastic.

Kinda wish the game was a bit more fast paced, but it's pretty neat as a concept!

This game has a lot of polish compared to some of the other games. The rock-paper-scissor elements felt really good after the second or third time playing. the different characters failed to feel unique but it was still neat to see all there different animations (which were nicely done). You should feel proud of the work you but into this.

A game after my own heart! I also enjoy making silly characters, though only one of mine is a bird variant. Anyway, the game play here is simple yet offers great flexibility and options. The characters are humorous and differentiated with their stats. The artwork is superb and the music is chill. It was easy to dive in and figure out my strategy. Excellent job!

Love it! I can't praise the music and the art enough. The mechanics are well done and thought out.

I do think there should be some text next to the abilities when you're fighting, or at least when you mouse over them. The icons are good and well made but for a new player they can be confusing.

Other than that I really enjoyed the fights and speculating on the moves the opponent would do.

I found the game to be a little confusing, but the art was sweet, as was the music! I liked the concept and the humor, would also be cool to see as a card kinda game, so you'd get mouse tool-tips over the moves? I know time is short for making a game over the weekend, but a bit of story mode would have been neat (maybe if you continue working on it?) Great job over alL!
