The gameplay was good, i didnt like the x and c controls but other than that i really enjoyed it. The music and SFX where not to loud or annoying. Good job with the game!!

Neat idea for a game! Particularly liked the change in sprite when the dodo gets cooked. It would have been nice if the ceiling didn't exist as cause some issues when jumping.

Good game idea ! The sounds effects are very cool but the music that loop over each time I die is pretty annoying. I love the throw animation of the dodo, it's very fun to play with it ! Good job !

Very very cool game. I love the Normal platformer combined with not letting the dodos go extinct. I had a good time! The audio is good, and the graphics are great. You also stuck to the theme very well! Good job!

Pleasant art and audio. The gameplay started out simple, but then you added more depth to it with the rocks and such. The dodos turning into cooked meat when they hit the fire was an amusing little touch. The character felt a little floaty, maybe strengthening the gravity a bit could be beneficial. Well done.

Great art and calming music. i like the idea of catch and throw :smile: encounter a bug, in this level you start from top right level and need to drop the rock to down left level. when i on the top left and wanted to go back to top right, this bug occurred. hope you fix this up soon.. by the way, good job to you.. this is cool entry :thumbsup:

the concept is very nice and well implemented. it may need a little more time to add improvements like more levels and a little more polish on graphics and sound. by the way i enjoyed playing! Lemmings vibes!

Very creative level design! Simple mechanics but it works quite well. I do wish that picking up and throwing dodos was the same button though.

Hey, thanks to everyone! Yes, @andrzej-gieralt, in the next release the button to catch/throw will be the same.
