Birdpeople

by terra
Play as a bird who explores ruins!

Once you've got to the exploration part there isn't really any 'goals'. You just kinda wander around for a bit and when you feel like you've had enough just go back to the entrance and leave :)
Also, make sure to click on the computer at the beginning! I'm not sure how clear it is that that is a thing to do.

My idea for the theme was to have a game where you spend a lot of time preparing for something that only happens once (the 'you only get one'), yet never really have a good idea of what to expect. There were probably better ways to execute that idea, but this is what I ended up with anyway.

Controls:
WSAD/Arrow keys to move
Mouse button to interact with things/use items

Cool idea, but i quickly got lost and had no feedback as to where i was and where to go. It would have been cool to have some subtle visual indicators.

I love the character design, very mysterious. The controls aren't very intuitive though. I like the idea of preparing for an unknown journey.

great visuals... but needs some definitive gameplay to give them some purpose... some audio would also have added to the aura of mystery.

Nice graphics and concept. I want to see this more polished. I think this game have a big potencial.

Really liked the graphics as well as the game! I included this in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 28 Compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/EG4kRkM_i_s

Really liked this! Cool idea with preparing for a trip and finding advice in the books for what to take.

Played simply but looked good and was a really nice little experience. Fine job!
