Play as a Stork Deliveryman as he shoots his way through a criminal organisation invading the White Birdhouse with his akimbo pistols while trying to deliver the President's Baby to him.

Controls:

[LMB] / [RMB]: Shoot (You have two guns, [LMB] fires left, [RMB] fires right)

[A] / [D]: Move left and right

[R]: HOLD to reload. While reloading, you cannot move or shoot at all. Completing a reload only reloads the emptier pistol

[Space]: Jump or fly midair

You lose if you get hit just once, so be careful. Note you can only quit by pressing [ESC] when dead.

Tip: You can shoot at enemy bullets to cancel them out, use this to your advantage

That is amazing game in its core. Yes, graphics could be better and some checkpoints will be nice, but overall it was very fun. You should add some screenshots on this page, people need to play this! Also I couldn't beat boss with huge bullet spread (final?), but kill his teammate.

P.S. Love how reload is o__o

Interesting game. I understand that we must deliver the bird, overcoming the enemies on the way. If you work a little with the balances in the game, it’s just that the second room is not passable (it will turn out to be a great game. And so an interesting idea. Good work)

For me the second level was unpassable. I did not even manage to hit the enemies. The core idea is simple and I liked the fact that you have to "deliver" the bird. The audio and the music of the game was very nice and the artistic element of the graphics was also something that I liked.
In general, nice try! Keep up!

Platformer is all about movement and here it is not very good. I know that there was small about of time, but cmon dude, friction ))) feels like floor is ice. Sounds are voice recorded right? XD kinda fun

Hahahah I love this. The characters and voice lines made me laugh. Definitely the funniest game I've played so far this dare. For your first game you've done a good job.

I like the character designs too. Sure it's programmer art but you make use of the limited art to create unique and funny characters.

I think the main pitful of the game is the movement and physics. The infinite jumping and lack of friction make the movement feel kind of unsatisfying and not very platformer like. Now part of this could be a stylistic choice due to the absurdity and satirical nature of the game itself. But it feels a little hard to control because of this.

But despite this I had fun playing it and it was very funny. So well done!

Really awesome platform shooter! What made the gameplay for me was that you could cancel out bullets with your own bullets—really nice job with that. It completely changed my gameplay and let me be much more aggressive once I realized that was possible. The controls felt responsive enough that I wasn't annoyed by them, which is a feat in itself for a platformer, and the visuals and audio were both fun. Very nice job overall.

Liked it as it differs quite a bit from the other entries I played. Getting stuck (extremely slowed) along the wall was a bit "meh", other than that, not bad.
Missed "save points" along the way.

I thought the bull and the owl were the final bosses. I was wrong. Couldn't deliver the president's baby. :(

I was taken by surprise by the Very Crusty audio but I think that it, coupled with the graphics give it a really, really charming vibe. It's a very good kind of bad. The gunplay is simple but fun, I wish our stork hero could still move while reloading, even if a little slower.

This was a really fun one, but way too hard IMO. I think letting the player take more than one hit and maybe giving more ammo would be a nice addition. I like the camera motion/lookahead, but I think it's maybe a bit extreme. Slightly disorienting at times. Had a lot of fun playing this one though. Nice entry!

Definitely one of my favorite games from this jam! The gunplay and character designs are great. With some better graphics and some checkpoints, this could be a really good game.

Amazing game, I think that in the future making a web build would do you a great service in terms of reach, and maybe adding in a mode that has checkpoints for people who suck like me :sweat_smile:
