My only nit would be that there seemed to be a cooldown on when you can move, so if you move too quickly, some inputs are ignored. Thats a small issue though, and easily worked around.\n\nGreat job :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":956700,"author_name":"greenphox","author_uid":"greenphox","epoch":1683120337,"text":"wow, nice one! very nice graphics, but I think you could use less effects. Nice audio effects.\nThe puzzles were very nice but the absence of an undo button made them too unforgiving.\nI would enjoy better controls, like having to press an arrow button for quite some time and move more than one time.\nAnyways, those features are usually hard to implement in the jam period. Very nice game! wonderful graphics!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":957556,"author_name":"josemwarrior","author_uid":"josemwarrior","epoch":1683129294,"text":"it's like you made a very good complete game, but you lacked to improve the quality of the puzzles, the difficulty curve is very poorly implemented, the puzzles are very simple and direct, added to a control a little clumsy (having to press each time to take a step instead of leaving pressed and move alone) make it quite boring. But visually and sonically it is above average. Plus it feels like a complete game. I would have liked to rate it higher if the puzzles had challenged me a bit more. I'm curious if the bird sounds were recorded during the weekend, a quite place to make a ludum :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":959922,"author_name":"Starlight Glimmer is best poney","author_uid":"starlight-glimmer-is-best-poney","epoch":1683150450,"text":"I'm impressed by the graphics. You really made great use of this almost monochromatic palette and alongside the audio you absolutely nailed the look and feel\n\nI'm not sure if there is much to say about the gameplay, although I agree with the previous poster that it wouldn't hurt for the puzzles to be a bit more challenging, even if it wasn't quite the point.

My thoughts on the game:\n- Biggest strength of the game is level design. Fantastic, fantastic level design that is puzzling at first, but makes you feel extremely satisfied when you figure it out (especially for the later puzzles). I wish I had like 100 of these levels, this is great for exercising the brain in a fun way.\n- Good tutorial levels make it extremely clear how each element of the puzzles work (and teaches them to you one at a time so that difficulty progression in the game is fair and well-paced).\n- The art + sprites are super cute and I love them - they add to an overall calm and pleasant mood for the game.\n- One tiny thing is that from time to time, the rain sound effect in the background gets pretty loud and starts to drown out the rest of the bird noises, etc.\n\nI would honestly love to see like 100 levels of this game. If you end up expanding the game at all, please let me know - I really enjoyed it!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":972249,"author_name":"OgelGames","author_uid":"ogelgames","epoch":1683431213,"text":"Such a nice game, everything is polished, and the ambiance is relaxing and perfect for a game like this.\n\nMy only complaint is that the levels feel too big, and moving around them was tiring for my fingers.
