What an addicting game! I have a question tho: why did it have to be an unwinged bird? There are a lot of birds that just don't fly like penguins or something :thinking:

Damn bird just wants to be under my blocks!

Fun game though. :)

Really nice take on the theme. For a while i had no idea how to get past the first jump, as the bird kept getting stuck, but i got the hang of things. Nice entry!

A great concept with a great execution

I really like this concept! Nice use of shaders to make the blocks look squishy under the bird too.

Excellent entry! Became a lot more fun once I realized you're supposed to feed the bird. Made it to the Aquatic but I kinda want to play more. Really fun and polished. The only thing lacking is sound.

Great concept!! Pretty fun game, looks great too!

I also really love how the terrain deforms around the bird.

You could've used a chicken for a flightless bird though...

Very good take on the theme. The bird is pretty fast so it's hard to really think our next move. Perhaps something to balanced there.

This is such a cool concept, i like it! The art is really nice, but the rounded corners kinda make it ambiguous where the bird would turn around or go on top. otherwise i like it! :grin:

Fun. Interesting use of the theme. Unusual gameplay. Well done ++

Very innovative idea here. Great execution as well. I think the overall "fun factor" is missing, but that could be fixed with some further refinement. Great work!

I just played another game that was attempting to do what you pulled off here. Great job! Reminds me of Flappy Bir, Tetris, and Super Mario. Addicting! I was a little confused at which pieces might fit the best. Other than that- superlative COMPO entry! Thanks for the game!

Great idea, great presentation with a lot of attention to detail. The game seems impossible to play though, the bird often gets stuck on the first piece I drop, and that often seems unavoidable. I would love to play this game with better balancing and difficulty progression.

Great idea of a game! Really nice looking as well, I had quite fun! Good job!
