Gorgeous! Fun and and engaging. The atmosphere is so nice, reminds me of Knytt. There's something wrong with the optimization, in the browser it froze for several seconds often, so I downloaded it for Win. It has some uneven framerate but worked way better.

I played it a couple of days ago! Impressively polished and a beautiful gameplay loop with a terrifying analogy of the cost of not getting enough rest. I loved it! 🐦

this is a really wonderful game! I really enjoyed the gameloop and how it kept surprising me. Like the gameplay of Metroid with the charm and vibe of Celeste.

Really charming graphics, music and sound design too! ❤️❤️

This was really fun! I really enjoyed the small "areas" within the biomes and how you combined "no combat" with mini-puzzles to take care of enemies. I also really enjoyed the alcove areas at the sides, well done!

Lovely game guys! Hope to see more from the team :D
