This is my first Ludum Dare so I wanted to keep the scope small.
It is made in C++/OpenGL/OpenAL with some of my own utility libaries.
I mostly kept it in the 48h of the Compo, however I do not want to release the source of my messy libs, therefore it is in the jam.
After testing I realized that the spring mode isn't really harder, I would have liked to allow for multiple birds at the same time, but the code wasn't really layed out properly to make it happen without major refactoring.
Anyway I like how it turned out for the most parts. Try it out and submit your highscores ;)

Also special thanks to the blackbird in my back garden who not only inspired the idea, but also provided its own sound effects ;)

Well, even being a simple snake clone, it was respectful decision to write game for jam on C++. I still can't bring myself to that even though I use C++/OpenGL for my long-running projects. But still using engine for jams because of faster development process.
