In 10 seconds your LSD induced bird hallucination is going to give birth to you. Get that egg to a safe place!
Arrow keys - Fly M - Mute N - Back to title
The goal is to get the egg to settle at an even terrain with no enemies to bounce it away. Dont worry about the bird, the egg is the priority!
Some people have thought that the final level is impossible. It is actually pretty easy if you use a trick. You just have to sacrifice the bird just after you deploy the egg. That way you can make the tentacles eat the bird and leave a nice safe spot for the egg to land. ---
I used Stencyl for the main portion of the game, Photoshop for graphics and Propellerheads Reason for sounds and music. Sweet times!
This art direction is awesome! It may be nice to be able to lay the egg pre-mature if you are in a good spot? That way I dont have to attempt to hover, although the bouncing was hilarious!
Very very cool. The controls are spot on. You always feel slightly out of control but when you fail it still feels like it is your fault. Great job on the art as well. Very cohesive experience.
I really dig the graphics and the animations. The gameplay is smooth too, but really hard! I didn't think I totally understood what were safe places and what weren't
One thing - if the bird got scooped up by the blue tentacles AFTER dropping the egg in a safe place - the level was still completed. Is this intentional?
Great! I have only one tiny complaint.. it's too tall to my laptop screen resolution. It didn't stopped me from playing anyway! Best game I've played so far :)
But what in gods name did you think when you chose that resolution? Not everyone has a 1080p screen, especially laptops usually have a height of 768. And as far as i can tell, the game wouldve fit on less space without having to adjust the resolution of the game assets.
Still, i am not here to rate the games resolution, but the game itself, and you did a very good job on that, really. Well done.
Amazing! Having to coordinate your bird while also making sure your egg lands at just the right spot leads to engaging, if a bit frustrating, game play. The trippy artwork is also gorgeous.
wow, I love the art in this game! Great use of colors, it really captures surrealism. The gameplay is great as well, it's pretty hypnotic as I watch the bird bounce around.
Really nice job. Definitely one of my favorites. This has iphone/android app potential written all over it.

A 5-star entry here. Unique (right down to the presentation) and fun. The egg's physics felt a bit too floaty on the first try, but later it leads to some funny results. I actually like how subtle the audio is, it does its job well.
Words can't suffice to describe how much I enjoyed it. Pretty much the most amount of time I've spent testing an LD entry ever :) Really loving the graphics environment you've created.
I love your art style! Very fresh colour scheme, and so many wobbly bits! :P Pretty neat interpretation of the theme, and just the right amount of frustrating. I did have the collision bug out on me once. When I was very close to the ground, the egg was laid inside the ground, and fell down. Luckily it got stuck inside the bulb below, so I still cleared the level.
Solid entry, man. Really oddly beautiful. Fun and kinda hard to play. Well, I totally sucked at this, so for 10 minutes I was just letting the bird bounce around and see the physics working haha. I think where you list the tools you used you should mention the drug you took. :P
Wow, shitload of work done for 48h. Something fresh for sure. Needed a little time to figure out how to play. Controls could be a little more fogiving, now it's really hard to stop his acceleration.
Everything is absolutely crazy in a good way. The gameplay is also satisfying (the "only the egg matters" is great - tho my pseudonym doesn't approve). Really great work.
Really smooth movements, even though a bit challenging. And oh, the soundtrack's remarkable! Had me feeling dizzy...in a good sort of way. Spent a lot of time on the last level before I figured out that the tentacles left a safe space after going in.
Wooooooo, far out! I like what you've done here, a really solid contribution to Ludum dare #27. This would work well on mobile I suspect as well.
The only issue I have is that the flash game window is way too big for my screen. My screen is 1600 X 900, but for some reason I can't get the game to scale to fit so I can see the whole playing field, so I keep dying ;-) That is the only problem, probably not related to the game itself. I'm using Google Chrome if that helps?
I love the psychedelic vibe the game gives, art and music are amazing. Gameplay also feels really polished, and it's challenging, but it doesn't seem impossible to beat. Brilliant work!!
Retry? Ok! Pretty fun game but the physics felt a bit out of control which made the game feel a bit more luck based. A couple of the levels I only completed due to pure chance and just retrying again and again. Still, this was a very fun game and had nice graphics. Only realised after playing that this was actually taller than I could see! I actually ended up playing the game without the graphical timer as that was off-screen. Nice game though, very nice for the 48 hours! Good work :)
maybe i can't get the controls down, but i cant even get past the first stage. no mater what my bird goes bouncing off. even if i try to straighten it up before falling.
anyway great art sound, music and unique gameplay.

This game is a gem.
Only black point for me, it's too big for my screen.
Nice graphics, sound and feel! Really unique entry, I like!
The style is unique and that fat bird is just too cool! :)

this game is hard! ;)
You made a really amazing and bizarre gem. :)
Oh, it didn't fit on my screen, 1920 x 1080.
But definitely I Like It!
And thanks for the lower resolution version, I couldn't comfortably play it before.
Kudos. Keep the good stuff coming :)
Awesome Moebius bird and animation
Nice (but repetitive) music
Intersting gameplay
Less good :
Hard to understand the game play : I believe the bounce was part of the gameplay
Screen size.
Audio was really nice as well. Good sound design!
