The strong points, for me, are the audio (I loved the soundtrack) and the art. I really like pixel art and it's truly well done!
I'm not very good at this type of game, but I managed to let only one fox get past me once.
:)
I don't know if it is just my skills, but i had a feeling the hitbox on the birds was a bit off.
But nice entry ^^ and really nice art.
The pixel art is very cute in a simple and charming way, and the color palette feels very consistent and pleasant. I especially loved how the jackals hide behind the trees.
For me, the clicking felt a little unresponsive at times, and I think a slightly smaller cursor image could make it easier to hit the birds accurately.
Nice work overall!
The birds are too small to click on.
The game is fairly simple but I had a great time playing it and competing with my friend who though he was gonna catch more birds than me. Turns out birds are super hard to catch and he failed.
I should also mention the nice art and palette.
Great job !

This game works sooooooo well, even though it's super short (but that makes it all the more easy to replay)! Special shoutout to the insanely good music (the menu theme alone had me hooked and linger in the menu for way longer than I would have expected), also the increasing intensity *chef's kiss*
Very well done! I feel like a little kid playing Moorhung/Crazy Chicken for the first time again :heart:
Nice, short, straight forward and digestible (like those delicious bugs). Super clean and bug free (except for those delicious bugs). Love the pixel art too!
