I was planning on dropping out of the GMTK2020 game jam because of some personal problems, but at the last minute I decided to try and do it anyway. It's not perfect, but I'm glad it's finished ^_^

I'd like to know what high scores people get in this! Mine is 5,234.

My game ended up placing 1366th of the 5418 submissions. This puts me right outside the top quarter, which I'm happy with. My best criteria was fun, where I placed 764th, which is in the top fifteen percent, and my worst was originality, where I was in 2959th. I completely understand the low originality score, since there really isn't anything groundbreaking about my game, plus two other people submitted games to the jam with the exact same title, including one which was rated significantly better than mine :p

Overall, I'm very happy about how my game did. This was my first ever game jam, plus my first ever time posting a game online in general. I will definitely enter more in the future!


8/2/2020 update version 1.1 patch notes:

-fixed an issue where birds spawn closer together after using a bomb

-made it so you get an extra bomb every 2000m, with a max of four

-other minor bug fixes

I think this update improves the difficulty curve a lot and makes higher scores possible. There's a lot I could do with this game if I wanted to keep expanding it, but I think I'm done with it for now.

This is seriously an awesome game. I love the simplicity so much! If I saw this at an arcade it would be one of my favorite machines

Cute! It's a really fun concept and I think you did a great job!
