Keep up !
We will continue to update the project on that page
Indeed there seems to be an issue with cherries because I couldn't see any while testing, I will probably try the updated version later out of curiosity.
Good job on this jam :v:
Thank you for your kind reviews :)
You need to hover near cherries for a while before you collect them
They should wiggle when you are close enough :)
I loved the color palette you have chosen and the music very great, very relaxing. Concept is great and unique! Really nice idea.
The gameplay itself could still really use some work.
It was sadly very unclear to me what exactly I am supposed to feed my little birds and how to do that. First, I was searching around for some warms and stuff. But, failing to find any, I figured the only source of food is the trees. So I was frantically flying around the trees but nothing seemed to be happening. I managed to feed the babies once, but how - I still have no idea.
What I'm laboriously getting at here ;) is - some feedback for the player would be nice! Some UI element showing you that you picked up some food. Or just make those food items more obvious in the world, so the player can clearly see that they picked up something when they disappear.
Chasing away the other birds worked just fine though :).
I also experienced some hitches. Pretty regular even. No matter if flying in the air, near the ground or in the tree coronas - the game would just periodically freeze up for like half a second.
one of the things that i realise we need to do is some tweaks to how hard it is to pick up the fruit as well as some other things.
im not sure why their were some glitches of freezing and will also look into that.
im really glad you like the colours concept and peaceful environment and hopefully you will come back and test and updated version soon
I don't know if it's normal, but once the timer's over, the game freezes. I just have this in the console.

Other than that, great job! :D
