Great flying mechanic, really fun to just soar around feeling the wind in my mohawk. Great work!

Very charming crow experience. Really enjoyable flying. Havent seen other crows yet, maybe i will have better luck tomorrow.

Had fun playing it with my friend! I will say though that you could just farm money through the course, wish there were more courses that you can do, but also the collector theme kinda takes a back seat in the game. Overall I love the flying mechanic and the fact that its multiplayer!

This is a nice cozy game. It was a nice way to relax. I definitely think it could be fleshed out into a full game. The controls are very smooth.

Flying felt real good and the art is very cute. Had some difficulty finding home after exploring.

The art is fantastic! I adore your cute crow character. Besides that, the way you handled the ground design truly inspired me (I'm a game artist who's still improving my skills). The checkerboard pattern not only fills the space well but also gives a neat and tidy feeling.

Loved the flying, not so much the blur across everything. I had a lot of fun collecting stuff nearby but then got very lost as soon as I got a little ways away and just had fun exploring the world. There seemed to be another hat shop on top of the mountain that was floating in the air above my head, I couldn't tell if I should have been able to interact with it. Overall a great jam entry, well done!

Well done! I liked your game, flew around the hoops and cawed a bunch! However, I had problems setting the game to fullscreen, as it would automatically capture my cursor when I selected its window. Is this intended or is it just me?

@kinn thanks! glad you were able to try out the multiplayer

@martingonn Yes sorry, I didn't add a fullscreen option so the window captures the mouse to control the camera rotation. But hitting escape should bring the mouse focus back if needed

@daniel yes, the mouse focus did come back. Don't worry about it, just a little fix that you can do if you have the time!

Super cozy game! I had a blast flying the hoop track and getting the fun cosmetics, flying felt great and the controls were solid only wish there was an arrow or pointer to the shop! Great work!

Aw this was cute, having a button to caw is perfect. Not really a gameplay thing, but I found the window a bit small on my monitor. But htat didn't detract from the fun at all

Woah, amazing aesthetics and cool tech, who would've thought there would be a MMO jam entry, haha. Really liked the chill gameplay and the visuals but not the biggest fan of the persistent VHS/retro blur. I see a lot of potential with some extra work on the level since I was very curious to explore the map for any secrets or challenges, great job on this entry!

Awesome! Always wanted to be a crow! Loved the mood of the game with the fog, sound effects and blurry low-poly aesthetic. The sound effects eventually cut off, which was a little spooky, but I still had fun flying around and seeing other crows occasionally.

Love this, so cute and cozy. Crows are my favourite birds so it was nice being one cawing as I go. Really liked the graphics and almost PSX aesthetic. The only thing I was missing was some nice relaxing music while I lose my time in it. Really great work here :smile:

Quite impressive you did this all solo. The flying feels fun and pretty satisfying, and the game has a nice distinct style to it. Post jam version has some nice additions too, would be quite interesting to have a fully fledged social game like this.

I love games with graphics like this; they always look so cozy. Thanks for the great work! Now I want a plush crow like that.

This is my favorite game of the jam.
I don’t usually download games, but the graphics really caught my eye.
Great controls, amazing style, and a perfect fit for the theme — 10/10.
I’ll definitely come back and play the post-jam version later!
