Nice art style and unique controls. Even though it was quite simple, it made for a decent amount of depth. Kinda reminds me of QWOP where the controls are what makes it both frustrating and fun. Audio leaves something to be desired, but overall doesn't distract from the experience much. The UI and art style were the highlights of the game for me as they have a pretty well-defined "feel" to them that really sells the game. Overall not bad!

"DOOOODDRROOO". Kindas fun, needs more levels that slowly introduce new mecanics and things but otherwise, great little game.

I like the main mechanic, specifically the idea of having to remember to which sign will disappear when you place a new one. The background music is a little short. The death SFX is perfect though, DODOOO!!

Verrrry good job guys!~ I've never played a game with controls like this before so i enjoyed it a lot. Didn't bother getting all the eggs though, it was enough trouble getting the dodo's to the finish line haha

Nice job, I obviously laughed at the sound FX! Easy to understand and play through, having a lot of active dodos is hard tho.

Hm. No wonder dodos are extinct. Really had fun with this one, sound effects are sublime! I think the effective repelling radius of the signs could be visualized so it's easier to predict how the dodos would react to them but it's a small nitpick from an otherwise great game.

Lemmins-like game! Nice graphics and really like the own-made "Dodo!" sound. Lovely!

画面、音乐和音效令人愉悦,难度有些高,但不乏趣味性!

A wonderful lemmings style Herding game. Great graphics, nice music, and good humor with the sound effect for them, as they hatch, die, and nest. Very fun to play and beautiful to look at. Great job.
I have a few things I think could add to game, maybe some way to trap a few of them in temp cages to be able to manager a bigger heard of them. The cage button could also have a max on screen number and a time limit that counts down in some simple form like a 2 color circle that one color slowly overtakes another to represent the clock. Also some other on screen mechanics that can lend themselves to be more puzzle like in how the player handles or figures it out. You could even have a level where the whole purpose is to setup as many different ways to try and Not keep them alive, might be funny and fun. Most of these are just ideas, but the game was good.
A very fun and creative game. Cheers!

Love the game reminds me of an old game called "sheep". Really started to get to grips with it and liked the sound effects. Great job!!!

Great game, the only issue was camera zoomed way out as my dodo squad moved past the second egg arrow on the right and some died offscreen.

Funny to play and with nice to look at graphic, It looks for me like a Shepherd dogs simulator!

The game was a bit slow in my browser, so I wasn't always able to react fast enough before a dodo found dangerous things. :thinking:

Overall a cute idea! It wasn't exactly clear to me how to reach the end of the game though. :sweat_smile:
