this game really lacks tutorial and VERY punishing for mistakes. it's difficult to grasp, but when you do it this game is very satisfying! and great presentation

Hey, this was great! I'm not very good at timing the clicks on the way down (skill issue!) but its very polished and fun to play.

It would be nice if the game somehow hinted at a goal. I guess you need to make small birds by hitting tombstone like things into the couldron. But I'm not sure who. I really really like the gameplay though!

Very challenging game, but it gets very addicting after you grasp how it works. Did manage to beat it after a few dozen tries
Movement is very responsive and snappy, feels good. Visuals are very simple, but has good readability because it has enough contrast. Music is catchy too, I like it
If i would have to point a problem, would be a run being completely ruined by running into a cluster of enemies and all of your hp (line?) depleting very quickyl, but you could say that is a skill issue
Really enjoyed it

this is a suuuper neat take on the flappy bird formula. really engaging gameplay, lovely art, and really nice music. very very difficult, but the win condition sits at a perfect threshold at least for my own sake!

awesome job as usual :)

It took me almost an hour, but I finally did it! I've cooked enough soup for all of my 11 bird friends!

The game is amazing, as always! Fun and innovative gameplay (even though it can be a bit infuriating at times), great music and sounds, and cute graphics.

While playing, I found a small exploit - on your way down, you can just mash the space bar; there's no need to time your punches. But perhaps this was intentional to make that part feel less stressful :sweat_smile:

This is one of those games that are very simple but very addictive. There's no tutorial or any sort of explanation so it took a while to learn, and the game is VERY difficult (at least for my skill level lol), but damn if it isn't fun once you get used to it.

Here's my highscore after 20 or so minutes of playing.

Visuals are great, controls are snappy, and the music is catchy. Very nice entry overall!

What a weird set of rules :D I too have managed to win after a while. It was fun!

This is a really fun game despite being deceptively simple in terms of its controls. This is already so well polished and complete for a Compo game.

It took a while to learn how to collect birds souls, maybe a short tutorial could've fix that, but wow.
The game is simple, well polished and very addictive lol
Well done! :D

One of the best games I played so far! So polished and so innovative! What I liked the most was the difficulty. Most games are to easy (including ours) due to a lack of time for balancing. This game feels very challenging but not unfair to the player, which makes it so addicting!

This game hooked me, very addictive! Great job!

This is one of the most fun games I played on this game jam ngl a solid 5 overall. I really tried my best but this is the best I could achieve c:
LDJam user 38931923 Apr 2024, 09:12
ok. I did it, I had to finish it xD here's something I'd like to see change:

- sometimes there are little to no points to collect which drains my silk thingy way to fast :(
- gimme a restart button, love the song but if I know I won't make it its taunting me hahaha

still 10/10 honestly

Such a cool game, only thing missing is a restart button if you know you biffed it

Great game ! Fun and addictive, works well in terms of control, has a good gamefeel... Liked it a lot !
Only critic I'd have is that the game is never really explained. It took me several tries to understand it.

It's just hard enough to make you want to continue without being either too hard or too easy.

And the music slaps !

I did it after a while!

I really liked the two parter, and being able to figure out what to do, as well as the glide you can do if you hold down jump instead.

I would've like perhaps some more bg elements so I get a better sense of distance flew, or maybe not as long of a room for more zigzagging? really enjoyed the game though, nice job!

I found this game after the compo results were announced but this shit RULES. The connection to theme hurt you the most but the rest of it is so friggin good. Thanks for making Bird Soup, one of my fave games this entire jam!
