The biggest problem for me was that it's difficult to tell how buildings are placed on the Z axis, I get that there's a color scheme but it's not very intuitive. Sometimes the background buildings would also display over obstacles which was weird. The music was a nice touch.\n\nBtw, on the last level my bird was pointing downward and I wasn't able to fly properly, bot sure what was up with that.\n\nIn any case, congrats on making a game in 3 days!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":974436,"author_name":"MrEliptik","author_uid":"mreliptik","epoch":1683538083,"text":"The idea is cool but its hard to know where the building are so its more a guess than anything.

Sometimes the bird would suddenly fly in the other direction without a clear reason why (to me at least), and as others have mentioned, it was a bit tricky at first to know which buildings were on which layer. At some point I figured that the color of the building determined on which layer it was.\n\nThat said, I really liked what you were going for, and for a first jam this is really good! I liked the sound design and the art was pretty good! I also liked the creative main menu, and that the controls were shown within the game as well. Overall a very solid submission!
