A french play on words from the movie "Le Silence des Agneaux", to "La Vendange des Moineaux"
In this game, you control a sparrow with the mouse pad and you need to make points by harvesting farmers'crops. These men are not happy and they hunt you to the death ! You must complete objective to go to the next level and finish the game. There are only 3 levels in the games, due to time but I can the say that the last is pretty hard :D
I use C2 for a month now, this Jam was a bigger session than all the hours I passed on it. I had some difficulty on concept, that's why I chose an idea that I wrote a few months ago.
At first, this game was thought to be better for a smartphone or tablet use, but I would firstly experiment it on computer.
I liked the music a lot. I still dont get the idea how to to get the full score out of the crops. There also are some issues with the readability of the blue font. But I still had fun with the game.
Thanks for your answer, I'm glad you enjoyed it and specially the music ! About score question, it forces to have a good strategy for taking a maximum of points on the crops. There are a good few issues you're right, I finished the game at the last moment, it was also my first created.
I wish I could hear the music (something went wrong and it was silent for me)
Fun little concept, good instructions (take it from someone who's instructions page failed miserably!) I might make it appear on the screen a bit longer though
One of the best music of this LD by far! Great song, goes perfectly with the bird game. The game is fairly simple, catchy and fun. I see how it could definetely be adapted to a tablet/phone. A couple of things could be improved: the font for score comes out really weird. Also a way to pause or read the instructions without having the game play would be a huge plus :) Great job
I can't thank you enough for your all pleasant comments, it's really cool and motivating for me ! :)
LeReveur (I'm French) L'objectif est de rester sur une plantation le plus longtemps possible (jusqu'à 78 points possible) et ensuite changer en faisant attention à être sûr de pouvoir récupérer un maximum de points après l'avoir touché, je n'ai pas vraiment pu l'expliquer dans le tutoriel sinon ça aurait certainement été illisible ^^
There is potential here for sure, but right now I find the game lacks consistency. Did you actually create all of these assets (and music) yourself? On another note, congrats for finding the time to add instructions, a mute button and an end screen. It makes the game feels more complete.
Neat! Difficult, though. I played a few times, but I still don't quite know how close you have to be to the plants, or whether you have to stay still...Also, I was waiting for the "Level 1 Start" text to disappear, but while I was waiting I got game over. :P That was a little unexpected, to say the least. Still, all in all it's a good effort. ;)
Struggled with it for a bit. Difficulty is a bit high. Great music though. Instructions and buttons tended to overlap at times. Got to level 2 and died instantly which was annoying. Nice concept though!

Anyways, fun idea and good graphics/music. :)
