Also would have made sense to have the controls on the title screen. The edge of the nest bowl could have been more smooth so the wind could more easier blow them off unless the airborn stomp attack was used on the other side.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":756845,"author_name":"Chairshot Games","author_uid":"chairshot-games","epoch":1633844029,"text":"Adorable game! Really liked all the art and the animations were really cute. The gameplay was really original and fun, and everything in the game is really well-polished. The only recommendation I have is to scale difficulty a bit more, because I thought the game was a bit too easy and then all of a sudden became very hard. Overall a really fun and cute game.

And there's so much attention to detail here - I love the little character animation touches, like the little \"ow my foot\" hop the racoon does after you peck him. \n\nNot sure I agree with the other comments about it being too easy early on, though - I think it feels about right as is, it's good to have a bit of time to just get the hang of the controls. (Though maybe I just feel that way because I'm playing on a laptop, so swapping between mouse\/trackpad and keyboard controls is a little trickier?)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":768968,"author_name":"lilkrit","author_uid":"lilkrit","epoch":1634743489,"text":"I think it's my favorite game this LD!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld49\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/andreasroschal.itch.io\/rocky-roost","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/andreasroschal.itch.io\/rocky-roost","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"80828","g_author":"1078121","g_event":"LD49","g_eventkey":"119","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"383155","g_title":"Rocky Roost","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"124","g_commentcount":"21","g_site2_node_id":"270886","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"270886","n_urlkey":"383155","n_parent":"258323","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/49\/rocky-roost","n_slug":"rocky-roost","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"78121","n_created":"1633370735","n_modified":"1778531506","n_version":"846878","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD49","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":12,"author":78121,"body":"![logo 2.png](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/45871.png)\n\n![Eggs.png](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/45901.png)\n\n### In ROCKY ROOST you play as a small bird hatchling trying to protect your yet unhatched siblings from imminent dangers.\n\n# Controls\n- **WASD**: Move\n- **Left Mouse Button**: Peck Attack\n- **Right Mouse Button**: Grab \/ Throw eggs (While mouse hovering over nearby eggs)\n- **Space**: Jump while grounded \/ Stomp attack while airborne\n\n# Gameplay\nYou are fighting in a bird nest to protect the remaining unhatched eggs.

Throw those intruders out of the nest before they can manage to steal any eggs.\n\nThe goal of the game is to keep at least one egg unharmed for as long as possible. You lose once all eggs have fallen out of the nest or have been stolen. You will see how long you managed to survive on the game over screen.\n\n|||\n|---|---|\n|Grab and throw eggs to avoid them falling off and shift the center of mass.|![Grad and throw.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/47295.gif)|\n|Use your stomp attack while airborne to add a large impact on the nest.|![Downwards attack.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/47297.gif)|\n|With your quick peck attack you can defend against predators.|![Peck.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/47299.gif)|\n|While it might be risky, you can also use your stomp attack on enemies.|![Downwards attack on enemy.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/4729c.gif)|\n\n# Assets and Resources\nAll assets and resources have been created ourselves.\n\n![Eggs.png](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/45901.png)\n\n|||\n|---|---|\n|![racoon.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/45956.gif)|![bird.gif](\/\/\/raw\/921\/31\/z\/4591e.gif)|\n\n","title":"Rocky Roost","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/270501+270502+270503+270504+270505+270506+270507+270508+270509+270510+270511+270512+270513+270514+270515+270516+270517+270518+270519+270520+270521+270522+270523+270524+270525+270526+270527+270528+270529+270530+270531+270532+270533+270534+270535+270536+270537+270538+270539+270540+270541+270542+270543+270544+270545+270546+270547+270548+270549+270550+270551+270552+270553+270554+270555+270556+270557+270558+270559+270560+270561+270562+270563+270564+270565+270566+270567+270568+270569+270570+270571+270572+270573+270574+270575+270576+270577+270578+270579+270580+270581+270582+270583+270584+270585+270586+270587+270588+270589+270590+270591+270592+270593+270594+270595+270596+270597+270598+270599+270600+270601+270602+270603+270604+270605+270606+270607+270608+270609+270610+270611+270612+270613+270614+270615+270616+270617+270618+270619+270620+270621+270622+270623+270624+270625+270626+270627+270628+270629+270630+270631+270632+270633+270634+270635+270636+270637+270638+270639+270640+270641+270642+270643+270644+270645+270646+270647+270648+270649+270650+270651+270652+270653+270654+270655+270656+270657+270658+270659+270660+270661+270662+270663+270664+270665+270666+270667+270668+270669+270670+270671+270672+270673+270674+270675+270676+270677+270678+270679+270680+270681+270682+270683+270684+270685+270686+270687+270688+270689+270690+270691+270692+270693+270694+270695+270696+270697+270698+270699+270700+270701+270702+270703+270704+270705+270706+270707+270708+270709+270710+270711+270712+270713+270714+270715+270716+270717+270718+270719+270720+270721+270722+270723+270724+270725+270726+270727+270728+270729+270730+270731+270732+270733+270734+270735+270736+270737+270738+270739+270740+270741+270742+270743+270744+270745+270746+270747+270748+270749+270750+270751+270752+270753+270754+270755+270756+270757+270758+270759+270760+270761+270762+270763+270764+270765+270766+270767+270768+270769+270770+270771+270772+270773+270774+270775+270776+270777+270778+270779+270780+270781+270782+270783+270784+270785+270786+270787+270788+270789+270790+270791+270792+270793+270794+270795+270796+270797+270798+270799+270800+270801+270802+270803+270804+270805+270806+270807+270808+270809+270810+270811+270812+270813+270814+270815+270816+270817+270818+270819+270820+270821+270822+270823+270824+270825+270826+270827+270828+270829+270830+270831+270832+270833+270834+270835+270836+270837+270838+270839+270840+270841+270842+270843+270844+270845+270846+270847+270848+270849+270850+270851+270852+270853+270854+270855+270856+270857+270858+270859+270860+270861+270862+270863+270864+270865+270866+270867+270868+270869+270870+270871+270872+270873+270874+270875+270876+270877+270878+270879+270880+270881+270882+270883+270884+270885+270886+270887+270888+270889+270890+270891+270892+270893+270894+270895+270896+270897+270898+270899+270900+270901+270902+270903+270904+270905+270906+270907+270908+270909+270910+270911+270912+270913+270914+270915+270916+270917+270918+270919+270920+270921+270922+270923+270924+270925+270926+270927+270928+270929+270930+270931+270932+270933+270934+270935+270936+270937+270938+270939+270940+270941+270942+270943+270944+270945+270946+270947+270948+270949+270950+270951+270952+270953+270954+270955+270956+270957+270958+270959+270960+270961+270962+270963+270964+270965+270966+270967+270968+270969+270970+270971+270972+270973+270974+270975+270976+270977+270978+270979+270980+270981+270982+270983+270984+270985+270986+270987+270988+270989+270990+270991+270992+270993+270994+270995+270996+270997+270998+270999+271000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/85\/8564ed0bdc03f6b270596dc40ad929d271244ba61abe08903aa6b42d845ca3dc","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/41813bbefc578c9258318c67fbfbecd56f71f57e1a5b2828931d4333920bca8a.json","sha256":"8564ed0bdc03f6b270596dc40ad929d271244ba61abe08903aa6b42d845ca3dc","source":"https","stored_at":1784022367}}
