Controls: ZQSD or WASD to move and jump your Krow. SPACE makes you jump too.
Aim and Lock enemies with the mouse then click it to throw your Feather. When you hit one, your character teleports to it and then you can start some "Hokuto No Ken - meets Bruce Lee - while High Fivin' Chuck Le Norris " to kill 'em
You can hold Click and Lock other targets to keep on switching and attack. No need to spam, but you can do it to feel more POWER.
If you don't lock, you can simply attack as well, to show your muscles.
You have to reach the Magic Stone (that sounds like a crystal) to go to the next level, and use your Unconventional Weapon, your own Feathers, to reach it using the enemies. And then have a piece of that Lovely Cheez
The art and animation is really oozing style here. The point and click mechanic is pretty interesting, reminds me of the 3d sonic games. The theme I think is a little bit of a stretch, but the game is good nonetheless so I won't fault you too much for it. Great job overall, the polish you got in such a short time is impressive.
This. Is. Amazing. Fantastic work on the Graphics and mechanics' it felt very intuitive, albeit punishing if you make a mistake right at the end of a level. Great job!
The game is beautiful, especially the attack animations... AWESOME. The audio is very nice too, it tunes well with the game universe. I played it on Chrome on linux, I had some "lags" at first but it did go away, maybe it was just the time to load everything, dunno. Good job!
Looks great and is a lot of fun - reminds me a little bit of Noitu Love 2 if you ever played that (worth checking out if not) - also extra stars for that music, it's quite awesome
What, really? A fox stole cheese from a crow? I see the reference... As if slicing and dicing enemies isn't satisfying enough by itself. But no, you had to make everything twice as epic! It doesn't have enough variety though, flying enemies are pretty much the only ones you get to interact with. A post-compo, maybe? I wanna fight that fox!
Really awesome graphics! It felt really smooth and polished. The only remark is that the hitboxes of some enemies are a bit big. Furthermore amazing work! The music and background also helped setting a good mood (:
This is amazing!! The concept is just great and the animations and music/sounds are really nice. You should also implement this as a full game for mobiles, it could be fun.
Loved the art, and the game was a lot of fun as well. Good job!

Really cool animations! I liked the mechanics that you need to hang in the enemies to move but at the same time you are attacking them and they may die and disappear.
This is a beautiful game, really hard to play on a trackpad but that can't really be called a fault. The gameplay was solid and the animation super fluid.
Very cool art design, and satisfying gameplay mechanics. I like that you can power through the levels quickly or take your time to defeat everything before exiting. Definitely would like to see expanded into a full game.
Stunning! The animations, the style, the music and the feeling of the dash-hit with the mouse. Perfect. I think I played through the game almost without using WASD, just moving with the weapon. Since it was so much easier to hit when standing still and since most places didn't need moving I just skipped it. Which is a bit of a pity since it would have been a nice extra touch to the game play. Part of this could be fixed by tweaking the level design a bit and another part would be to have the character aim better while running so that there's less of cost running around. Still great entry.
I had a few troubles with hitboxes being way bigger than they seemed...

Wow, this game has amazing graphics and the gameplay it´s like Nauty love 2 Devolution, that was a great game and this one it´s really amazing, expand this proyect and you had something bigger, but it´s cool at it is
The graphics are really cool and the animation is flawless. The character design as well as the color palette are very eye-catching. The gameplay mechanics are also quite easy to master. Great job.
Gameplay fell a little flat once I found out I could aim the mouse elsewhere once I was engaged with an enemy so I could aim to the next one. There where many enemies by the end, but I managed to find a way across them, not killing most, to the end, resulting in a pretty easy experience.
Wow, I really like the artwork and the sound composition. It just gives the right atmospheric vibes to suck me in. The Controls also work really smoothly.
OK guys, serious greatness here. Love the animation, the music, the sounds (the player death one was a nice touch).
On the negative: double jump was great and empowering; lack of air control, not so much. I would have loved to eat the cheese, too, the ending was... frustrating.
Loved how most of the movement can be performed using the locking mechanism. Globally speacking, a very empowering game.
Really nice entry! Love the color palette, not very keen on the character design though, but the overall mood is really something, great achievement in that regard, specially the vfxs. We had a similar idea on the weapon and I really like what you did with the mouse. I do think it needs some balance on the level design, is really restrictive from the very beginning and I think it could have been a better experience without dying so much. I suggest you to try to expand the camera, I think it could be cool to move around the map with a more panoramic view.
The weapon is really straight forward, as someone said, is like nuito love but with a more challenging scope, more than just smashing.
Overall looks great, awesome entry!. Cheers

Awesome game, as expected :p.
I could nitpick by a bit saying it was very short and that the fact the character is using feathers as a weapon isn't that obvious...but that's all. The graphics, the music and the gameplay are really good.
very nice graphics and effects - it's quite satisfying to jump around once you get the hang of it, especially climbing upwards through numerous enemies :)
Goddamit, just... just take the Graphics award already! I'm going to take lots of screenshots and put them in my inspiration folder. The gameplay is pretty unique and flows smoothly, and the music is awesome. Just wish there were more levels!
Awesome arts and audio! Very polished in this sense. The gameplay is fast pace and fun. Several types of enemies increases the variety. Though a bit buggy at the edges of platform, but still impressive in 72 hours.
Wow, those attack effects are badass! Would you mind posting up a quick tutorial on how you make that kind of stuff? My twitter is @stevesalmond if you decide to do so.. :) Really sweet game, congratulations.
Graphics are amazing! Would have liked to have seen a variable height jump and the targeting is hard to get right as the cursors comes off it after dashing. Minor issues though, really polished and impressive, love it!
Great entry! i'm impressed with the art style and the overall gameplay. Too bad i was playing on a track pad. Great sound and awesome controls. I just hope it was more tied to the theme, i couldn't see why it was unconventinal. :(
nice visuals. fun gameplay. good theme. don't know if it is an unconventional weapon for a bird to use its own body as a weapon, but i like it overall. nice fighting mechanic.
Nice work, it was a bit confusing. All I did was "attack" from one guy to the next until I got to the crystal. Were you supposed to "Kill" the enemies or just use them at "teleport" locations?

From what I saw the Art and Music looked great, I was unable to play though it was too slow and laggy. I had a message about a preloader but I gave it a good while to load and nothing changed.
First, a couple problems: keyboard input didn't work at all in Firefox 37 for Windows. I haven't had that problem with a flash game before. Chrome worked. Unfortunately, keyboard + mouse control schemes work pretty terribly with a trackpad. I got through the game with a touchscreen, but it was pretty tough and I was fighting just to stay airborne.
Besides the controls, it's really nice. Great visual style, very interesting enemy art and behaviors, nice weapon arc animations. The sound effects and music fit perfectly. It felt like there were several ways of getting through each level, and the tutorial levels did a good job of teaching the player how to move.
Very nice mood and graphics polish, however: - there's a lack of feedback when fighting monsters, particles and/or a sfx when they get hit - MOOOOORE levels ! your games requires more content :)
Very nice grafics, and very fluid animation. I liked the character and enemies, but it wasn`t very clear to me what was the unusual weapon. In overall nice job guys!
Beautiful art style and the music/sounds are really top notch. Good game mechanics (although a little punishing) but just an amazing, polished game overall. Wonderful job!
The cheese distracted me, so I died. :[ Nice job. Very cool graphics and concept. It could have been a bit more challenging though, since only the last level was a bit difficult.
Really cool looking game, great mood with the colours and music... A bit hard for me, especially on the third or fourth level (can't remember which) where the camera doesn't show you where you're supposed to land ^^ But great entry as always, good job guys! :)
Very interesting gameplay and beautiful graphics. Unfortunately the game being only playable in a browser made the experience less satisfying. Good job nontheless.
Great animations! I liked the grappling mechanic too, though sometimes I wanted the crow to just move on instead of attacking. Audio is great too. Good job!
Stunning results for so little time. I think the flying enemies would be better, if they died with one hit, so that the player has less time to click the next one.
Wow, such effort for a cheese. xD Very, very impressive, it is much more like a puzzle than a combat game. I don't think it fits the theme as well, but other than that, even with the bugs, really great job guys!
Nice ! nice visuals and i liked music a lot. A bit hard sometimes but it seems that there is more than one path... Good level desgin :) Sometimes while controlling player with the keyboard the mouse gets a weird reaction... or is it me ? cheers from bdx!
The art and effects on this game are great. fun to play, though i was using a trackpad, so a little hard to play in my case. would be nice to be able to take more then one hit, some of my deaths were so quick i didn't know which guy got me.

I wait an eventual update so as to rate your project ++
As if slicing and dicing enemies isn't satisfying enough by itself. But no, you had to make everything twice as epic! It doesn't have enough variety though, flying enemies are pretty much the only ones you get to interact with. A post-compo, maybe? I wanna fight that fox!
It would be pretty awesome if there's a combo counter =)
The background art is realy nice.
I had a few troubles with hitboxes being way bigger than they seemed...
The gameplay mechanics are also quite easy to master. Great job.
Graphics are really good.
The Controls also work really smoothly.

FX are amazing ! O_O

The controls are very accurate but you sometimes miss the "anchor points".
Didn't really run in Chrome 43 (beta). For every key or click you did you had to wait about a second.
Firefox 37 ran smoothly though.
In overall nice job guys!
The controls are a bit strange as you already know, I would definitely prefer a full keyboard control scheme.
Need moaar!
I'll try again at work on a different machine.
Very, very impressive, it is much more like a puzzle than a combat game.
I don't think it fits the theme as well, but other than that, even with the bugs, really great job guys!
Good level desgin :)
