Più, a bird song by Ekilibr

Più, a bird song is a game about a bird that wants to keep the music, essential element for its world to exist, alive.

Explore a mystical world, seek for the 4 Ancient Songbirds, and save Life itself by bringing them back to where they belong.
But beware! Those birds are fragile, so feed them with magical gems on your way back to keep them alive and singing.
:headphones: :videogame: The team strongly recommands to play the game with a headset, or at least with sound turned on, as it strongly relies on music and sound to be experienced fully. We hope you'll enjoy this experience! :videogame: :headphones:

The only thing is the game seems to want you to actually beat it which is really unclear how to do. This is frustrating. I think this is the kind of game where "beating" it should not be there or at least should not be the focus.
You play, and understand what you have to do along your progression.
Having sounds changing along makes the game magic as you wish to just.. Go away listening to this melodic song.
Thank you for this peaceful journey! <3
@mrhassansan for the music we had layered music to launch to launch each part at different moments!
Loved it!
@coolestdoggie could you precise what was creating that lack of convenience in your experience?
Yet I still don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Regarding the turn radius, having it shorter when you accelerate would make the bird harder to control.
I totally agree with you regarding level design and level art elements, that's the part we had the less time remaining to iterate on, unfortunately... So that's why it is less detailed and varied than we expected.
Otherwise it was nice to look at and listen to!
Thanks for rating my game!
Great job!
Really like the mood. Even though I'm terrible at collecting these notes. I'm also not sure what collecting them does for me or whether im doing it right.
This game is really pretty, have great audio, and just feels really polished overall.
It's fun to play as well, in a soothing kinda way, at least once I figured out what to do.
On the stream I didn't get around to finishing it, so I revisited it later and made a video of that ;)

I really liked it a lot, thanks for the sugesstion!
For some minor feedback, for a jam game you get a bit too frustrated when you lose the song-birds.
Great game, cohesive, simple, clean as hecc.
