I had a blast coming up with this game and doing as much as I could in 48 hours.  You all know how difficult it can be to fit everything you want into a game in a single weekend. There are so many ideas and simply not enough time to get everything you want done.\n\nSo! Post-jam updates!  I just wasn't ready to step away from Birdwatching yet, so I decided to implement some of my original ideas that didn't make it into the jam version as well as some updates based on ya'll's (ya'll's?? you all's???) feedback.\n\nFirstly, I updated the game so if you mistype a letter, you just need to try again to type that letter before moving on. No more starting over! I think the largest tip I got was that the game was too hard. Having to restart from the beginning every time you get a single character wrong is, admittedly, too punishing.  To be honest, I haven't played a typing game in a long while and I didn't do any research so I did what I THOUGHT typing games did (no typing games do this lol).\n\nAlso, scores have been added! Compete with your bird friends for bird bragging rights! Scores are just the single number shown in the top right of the game and game over screens.\n\nMy personal favorite added features is the BIRD GALLERY! I recognize that it can be hard to appreciate birds when you are so busy tippy-typing away at Latin nonsense, so now you can browse all the game's birds are your leisure after playing a round. The gallery only includes the pictures and common\/scientific names, though. You still gotta type to get the bird facts. ;)\n\n![birdgallery.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/681\/44\/z\/5304b.png)\n\nI made some other cheeky little changes but I guess you're gonna have to play it to find out about those.\n\nSince rating is still going on, the updated version will only be downloadable and the original jam game will stay as the browser-playable version for the time being. When ratings finish I will replace the WebGL game with the most up-to-date version and keep the original available for download.\n\nI hope to have some more updates in the future (probably to add animation, if nothing else), so keep an eye out if your are interested.
