While the gameplay was pretty straightforward, there were a few things that made it a strange thing to play... For one, the food spawns weirdly, with worms crawling in the air at times. The beak attack was also rather tricky to use, seeing as you had to be above your opponent and divebomb them, which was hard to aim properly... Not a bad thing, per se; made combat quite interesting. Also, the image showing what prey was in my talons doesn't render at times, making me confused as to whether I had already hunted or not.\n\nStill, it was a new experience, for sure, swooping down on birds and stealing their nests. Good job.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nisovin","author_uid":"1143894","time":"2019-10-08T01:06:53Z","epoch":1570496813,"modified":1570496813,"text":"Awesome game!

My 2 cents would be to focus on either the combat or the hunt due to the jam time constrains. Deepen the design mechanic, rather than widening it.
