This is Bowerbird Quest! You are a lowly bowerbird and you need to find a mate. She will tell you what you need to decorate your love nest, go and find the items (in the right order) and return to the nest to see of you have won her heart.
Edit: thanks for all the comments/feedback! The idea was based on "you get only on... true love" and then i thought about the bowerbirds and then this game emerged ;) I had originally had it where if you fail on a level you have to start over (so you get only one chance as well) but it seemed too hard, but now i'm thinking of changing it back...
There aren't any sounds. i had planned for some but ran out of time. hopefully i can add some later and release this somewhere :)
Awesome work! Found myself laughing at the ladybird when she couldn't deal with an extra stick, come on lady look at the nest, you know we're gonna need it anyway.
I relly liked the game! Aesthetics are great and mechanics is simple but entertaining. Some sound effects would add up so much to the atmosphere though. Great job!
Hey, I'm not too fund of memory games but I like the mix with the platformer ! I also like the look and athmosphere. Oh and one little thing, I found that the camera is kindda too "centered", it happened to me several times to bump into an item cause I didn't have time to react. (but maybe it's because i'm dumb :D )
thanks so much for all the feedback everyone! yes, sound would have been awesome! i totally wanted to add sound but suddenly looked up to see time running out :) i will definitely be finishing this off so keep the comments coming!
Fantastic art. It's a little too easy to pick up things by accident, but I suppose that's part of the challenge. The general mood is great, adding some calm music + little sfx would really take it to the next level. Love the background effect too. (Also your kid's off to a great early start)
Idk mcapraro, I think your son has you beat ;). Nothing cooler then a dad and his son making a game together. Glad you guys are joining the LD community. Thanks for the games :D!
Pretty nice. The graphical style was great. Gameplay wise it was alright, but there needs to be a way to quickly restart the round or drop items, the controls are clunky and it's easy to accidentally pick up incorrect items.
Superb graphics, and great walk-jumping of the bird. (Of course an extra star for it being bowerbird-themed). The obvious things to add would be some music, a different sprite for flight, and maybe the bird should just jump around in place when the user is not doing anything (because that jumping was so good).
Nice art, the female bird is a bit demanding ;). Also when you picked an incorrect item it is not nice that you first have to walk back. Overall a fun game!
Wow, the origami style graphics were awesome. Had fun playing this. The only downside was that the camera didn't show too much in the direction you were moving, so came down to either be slow and careful or inevitably pick up wrong stuff. But I liked this game pretty much.
Fun game, great graphics, well done! I included it in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/tnNlwxp-9J8
Nice game and graphics. Has issues though. That you can't drop along with not always being able to see makes for weird combo... You often loose for reasons unrelated to you -_- You just did not see... Also it would have benefited greatly from some ambient forest background sounds.
