OMG, this game is so cute! I had a blast playing it and loved all the different things you can do. But seriously, that owl needs to chill, it's too much for me haha.

Support2 May 2023, 01:31

I really liked that, lots of fun things to do on your way up the tree. The owl game was a little tough! Love the music too.

Cute game! Loved the little interactions and mini games within, I kinda wish the movement was just a tad bit faster, felt a little floaty and slow but for beginner friendly platformers it's nice!

Braveskin2 May 2023, 01:34

Nice pixel art and music! I also didn't expect such good variety in what I thought would be a climbing platformer. Good one!

msnider2 May 2023, 01:35

Fun game and easy to get into! I liked playing as the bird and the three mini-games packed into one!

Aivaxela2 May 2023, 01:35

such a cute little game, and with some surprisingly enjoyable challenges! loved it.

SunnyKid2 May 2023, 01:39

Good work! Some nice little mini games in-between which made a cute game. I also liked how the parent bird kind of reminds me of the one from paper mario 64, not sure if that was intentional but it made me feel nostalgic.

Love this, nice work.

Castitatis3 May 2023, 01:18

it's a cute game, I liked the varity of mini games you had to do to climb up

Noam Blei3 May 2023, 03:28

Aaaaa this is so cute, this game would definetely win a "Wholesome category" if existed

FlashViper3 May 2023, 03:55

This is a super cute game! I enjoyed all of the animals you meet along the way. The character art is especially cool

Str8griz3 May 2023, 03:58

Amazing jobs, the environment, art and sound all meshed together nicely. I really liked that I could fail at each individual challenges and keep going vs restarting the whole game. I must have done the owl tag 10 times before catching that rascal.

Great job!

Super charming game, nice variety of minigames!

Adorable game! I think I jumped more than I've ever jumped in any other game :blue_heart:

*Relentlessly* adorable. XD

The platforming was a little fudgy, but I'm glad that wasn't the focus - the minigames kept things interesting and were implemented well enough to make them diverting instead of onerous.

I also loved all the animations you worked in, and details like how the girl has an extra frame facing the camera when she turns.

Cute pixelart and nice music and sounds. Those elements made nice arcadey mood. The dialogues were a nice touch... Seems that our game was not the only one with a rude squirrel :laughing:

Gameplay felt little too slow and platforming was little clunky, but the level design was ok.

Minigames brought nice variety to platforming and all minigames were nicely different.
Good work overall!

I tried to do an 'acorn skip', but since you only check the X position for the dialogue trigger, I got stuck after I got to the owl :p

Charming little game :) The animations are well done. Small details like the hair flowing and eyes moving really give it character. I really liked the variety of gameplay. The jump does feel a bit 'floaty' though.

A super sweet little game. I like both the visuals and the music. The gameplay is simple and fun. I overall a good and very cute little jam game. Well done.

i appreciated the non-violent approach to problem solving as a spin on the platforming obstacles. nice chill game, everything very pleasant.
