Bob is a bird. Just like the other birds. But one day, he didn't want to fly to the south, he wanted to go to the north. He went to the north. And he's happy there. Did I mention that he also has an eating disorder and thus can lay eggs very quickly and often? He realized that too. Not only he will go to the north, he'll also try to destroy all the conventional houses and offices. Can you guide him?
=========== CONTROLS ============= Arrow key up - move up Spacebar - Lay egg M - Toggle mute(sound) R - restart(when possible) Escape - quit
=========== INFO ============= This game was made for the 32th Ludum Dare Competition, a competition where you create a game in 48 hour.
First I created a game where you needed to do something with quarks. It had gravity and all sorts of cool things implemented. But I didn't know how to make it fun. Then I got this idea, and started making it. I made this in very few hours, which surprised me.
Oh, and you need to have the XNA Framework installed.
The game crashes for me before it starts, I can give you the error codes but not much else. Debugging in visual studio gave me this: An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Perhaps are you missing some XNA libraries? This is a common problem I've seen when someone hasn't XNA installed. I tested it and it worked on all my machines. I'll port it later to MonoGame anyways, so that problem will be solved.
Hard as hell! But great! The next Tiny-flappy-wings-bird. Seriously! Upload it into the app-store, you will be suprised! (I can help you uploading it or make an app out of it if you like).
This is a humor and theme full scorer for me. However, I'm missing some background music to push up the sound and mood score but it is fun and overall a seriously good game!
Keep up that good work!

P.S.: If you don't know how many stars to give to my little toy: give 5 stars to every category and you will see a lot of funny yellow stars on your voting screen ;)
This thing is hard XD I'd suggest placing the bird a little further to the left since you need some time to react to what's coming. The up/down movement seemed way to harsh to me at first, but I can kind of see the appeal to that now.
pain in the arse to play :)), but really fun, my highscore only 5 tho :/, this is harder than one of those flappy bird like game with swinging hammer it probably much better if it using poop instead of egg :p

Thanks for the feedback. It was not intended to look like flappy bird. In fact, I realized that after the competition.
@Prowler hmm. I'll think about porting it to Android or something, I want to learn that. Great idea!
@Hamsternator It was intended to have it in the front of the screen, so you have to act really fast! And it would be more convenient for the eggs too.
@timmik94 Do you have XNA installed? I can't do anything with "Don't workikng", please explain why.
A very steep learning curve but was fun after a while of accustumization. Maybe have slightly less opponent birds at the begginning to let the player learn how to play?
Wow, INCREDIBLY difficult. I feel like the controls were a bit too touchy, and the hotbox on the bird was a little to big. However, still pretty fun and addicting. HS: 14 :(
Not bad. Gravity felt a bit too strong and the hitbox seemed to be just a bit bigger than the birder (or was too "boxy" where there's empty space on the birder graphic) - so it was very difficult, but otherwise good theme, graphics, and addition to traditional helicopter gameplay.
