You should try ramping it up gradually. Perhaps in the first level, you would only need to place one bird to get to the end, which is horizontal to you. Then in the next level make it so you have to place several, then in the next level make it so you have to go diagonally, etc.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the stars that you can make disappear temporarily. They serve as a nice time pressure mechanic. Though I think they should indicate when they're about to become solid again.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The meteors are tough as heck. It's a big challenge to not only remember the pattern, but to remember where exactly they travel, which is especially difficult for the ones that move diagonally. The latter problem could be solved by having them leave behind a trail that stays around for a while.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is a really creative mechanic though so I'm more forgiving of those things. Good job!"},{"author_name":"dos","author_uid":"52499","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:47pm","epoch":1440538920,"text":"So hard! Meteors were too much...

I enjoyed the mechanics quite a lot, a nice mixture of puzzle and timing. It would've been nice to be able to jump back to previously set birds. Also, the meteors were kinda hard, especially on the level they first occured. After that it got better, because the timing was somehow more predictable. I made it to the final level, but couldn't figure out how to beat the bird monster. The boss level itself however offered a very nice, challenging gameplay experience. Graphics and audio are also really good.

I actually enjoy the &quot;easy&quot; mode better than the original, mostly because it gives the player to learn the level, try different paths to avoid the stars, or just not punish the player for simply being a few pixels off when placing a bird.

That is, there was no hitbox to catch her. There were times when the jump arcs would line up in such a way that the girl would leap over the final bird.
