Credits
Made in under 3 days for Mini Jam 184: Birds. With the limitation of Under a minute.
All code, art, audio made by me (Iptcyq).
Post Jam Update:
Fixes:
- Bugs with the birds' speeds, scoring, etc.
- Better balancing of speed and stamina for the two birds
- Extended the level a little + added 2 more flowers
- Highscore system
Post-mortem reflections:
- Making my first, actual 3D game was a great learning experience, but has also scarred me. 3D games are a PAIN. 😔
- I went for the most cliche concept of "Birds = Flying" and "Under a minute = Race", and wanted to recreate the concept of elytra flying in Minecraft (which looked fun, but is something I have never played).
- Was an interesting game to make after a good while (half a year) without game jamming though.
- Do let me know in the comments if there are any game-breaking bugs though. I don't know if I'll get around to fixing them but I'll try my best.

If anyone wants more of a challenge - what is your highscore?
Maximise your score by reaching home as fast as possible + as many flowers as possible (there are 5 in total)
Here's mine: :)
Update: I updated a post jam version of the game with 2 more flowers and a longer course, so here's my new high score to beat :D
