A good platform game. Nice job.

Personally, I think some visual details like decorative bushes confuse the player about what is lethal or not. Only visual feedback details. =)

Oh I love smacking people with a goose! Nice platformer, the shadowy style helps focus on the challenging jumps!

Very nice visual style but I agree some better feedback for what is scenery and what is an obstacle would be nice.

The music is so repetitive, maybe would be good a way to emphasize the obstacles. In other hand its a pretty platform game. Good job!

Loved the silhouette style graphics and the bizarre attack animation! Gameplay can be a bit unforgiving at times, consider the number of challenges in a row.

Very nice looking game, though enemies and lethal objects should be made more obvious in my opinion. I also found the controls to be rather slippery, which made some the platforming more difficult than it should have been. Music was pretty good and quite fitting.

Interesting platformer. Tight controls and fast action. Some color would have been nice :)

Great work!

Graphics are really pretty, but I definitely agree that it gets hard to know if you're going to die or not when you're going fast and can't see a bush haha.
It's definitely a great experience to kill people with a goose haha.
Style is great!

Adore the black foreground colored background style, leaves something for the imagination.

However, enemies and cactus need some visual hinting. Maybe a glow like the one you have for the egg. This would go a long way.

Great, crisp graphics and totally solid platforming. I do wish the attack was more responsive, and had a shorter animation before occurring. Great work, I enjoyed pushing my way to the end!

Great graphics. The slideyness and cactus placement made some of the platforming pretty frustrating. I did play it for quite a bit though. Nice job.

Beautiful graphics but as others have mentioned the decorative bushes do confuse at times. Also had issues of sliding of platforms when close to the edges. Solid platformer though, so nice job.

I think this is good effort in making a platformer. Game functions just fine, and levels are certainly beatable.

Personally, I think the game could use some polish from other platformers. The controls feels slippery and loose, and the attack does not feel reactive. In a few locations, we had to rely on a blind jump. I think these small issues adds up to a somewhat frustrating experience where some deaths we feel like weren't within our control.

Still, nice job, and I certainly wouldn't call it a fowl.
