The core game is pretty fun. Being able to play both with 4 players and both with AI is a great thing I don't see often in other games !
The Gameplay is pretty easy to learn, and a game is fast, so I ended up trying much game to beat the AI without being bored at all
However, its too bad that the game is always playing, it could have been great to have at least a start menu and a end game screen with the name of the winner player.

Great job then :)

@captain-tyx Ty for the feedback! Yeah I was thinking to stop the game before start but found it pretty funny how the AI is fighting ... next time I try to make start- and endscreen!
You are right a Winnerscreen would be awesome damn!

This looks like a super fun game to play, the rounds are go really quickly but there are many possible strategies to try. However I found it very hard to control. Also not sure this is really a sacrifice rather than kill you opponents style game

"arrow up to right" is a typo that blow my mind...

In fact it could be a very fun one-button game, if the direction turned by itself for the players as well as for the AI.

At first the game felt very hard when played against 3 AI opponents - it takes a bit to get to the control scheme. Once I "got" it, it was interesting to maneuver around the enemies and bump them off the nest. I liked the detail of the birds growing in size over time; it made watching two AIs battle more exciting. Good work!

@dunin sry for the typo! While making the game it was a one-button game but it was way to hard so I decided to change the controls!

We had a lot of fun and it's awesome that 4 people could play this. Sound effects were really funny and controls were smooth. We would like to have some kind of win counter or smth like that, maybe even best of 5. Cheers and keep it up! :)

First lesson learned: don't double tap the move button :laughing: I got a kick out of this game. What a great use of theme! the graphics are amazing and the gameplay was easy to learn. I really enjoyed playing this game.

@esosek TY! I will add a win counter and soe fixes after ratings !

We really had fun, but controls could be better.

This would be a really fun party game! Sadly I didn't get a chance to try it out multiplayer.

It took me a while to get the hang of it - especially with the wrong directions for player 1 - but I had a lot of fun once I got the hang of it. "A simple concept well executed" is a great way to do Ludum Dare, so great job on that score.

The connection to the theme is a bit thin, but hey, that's a big part of Ludum Dare too.

Very funny! It's a bit hard to control the bird, but it's a funny game nonetheless. Like others, I would have loved a victory screen (and a menu?), but apart from that, it's pretty good. The theme is a bit far-fetched, but the game is fine anyway.

Congrats!

Fun game and well made.
It's not really innovative, but it's a smart take on the theme.

I tried it under Ubuntu Linux 18.04, and it goes blank for a few seconds and then starts making the mouse act screwy (it seems to try to force it to the upper left corner). I had to drop to command line and manually kill the process.

Any particular reason why you opted out of the graphics category?
Shakedimus30 Dec 2018, 14:48
I played this with a friend and really had a lot of fun. The clunky controls were hard but not frustrating. The graphics also fit the game well! Great job! The theme was also there although in a bit of a hamfisted way.

Linux version worked good! :) I have to say, out of all the games I've played this LD this is the one which feels most like a proper game to me. Nice and cute graphics and a good concept, even though it's not all too innovative. It took a while getting used to the controls, but once I did it was an enjoyable experience playing :)

Nice game. Although I suck at it. Actually I suck at games in general.
