I really like this game, the easiest difficulty is quite hard, so if you're new to rhythm games try something else and build your way up. Other than that it's a really good game, a little cheesy at worst, but overall really good. It runs really well on my honestly rather poor quality computer and is really fun to play. Although I wish you could add custom songs (like beat saber) and I wish there was a setting to strum with the trigger and not my full wrist. Strumming with my right-hand hurts a little after playing for more than an hour or so, but it's still really fun.

I am current going to treat this game as "in beta" as it is still quite new and could use a lot of work. So far it simple game with not much game play, I feel this game (if changed a lot) could be something much better. I'm going to suggest leaning into the "simulation" genera, adding other birds you can interact with in some way, maybe nest building, and allowing your bird to change over generations much like spore...but birds. Also have two buttons for eating a worm a little much, since there is not reason to carry a worm, automatically eating the worm after picking up would save the reach across the keyboard.

Current positives
- The map is beautiful, really large too.
- The flight physics are amazing, it is quite fun just flying around.

Current negatives
- Game play is lacking, could be turned into full game (I'd charge more for it if you do update it).
- The map is beautiful but it feels empty, a small house, other birds nests, caves or a larger tree could really make the world feel more alive, and would give the player more incentive to explore.
- Water is a little weird, you can stand on top of one of the lakes and waterfalls seem to lag a lot.

Personal recommendations
- Bird friends.
- Nest building.
- Some challenge to picking things up like a quick time event, maybe the better you do in the quick time event the better the object is.
- Don't allow the player to customize their bird, allow players to change their birds colours and other genes over generations instead of in a creator.
- Maybe add a health bar/hunger bar depending on how you want the game to play.

Waited for this game for like two years, the controls are kind of heavy and hard to learn, the speed is hard to control, and there was a special bar that you could fill that could...fill....it also felt like there was no good tutorial, I mean there was kind of one there, but was lackluster and didn't really tell you what to do. Maybe I just don't like skate games (this is the only one I've played) but it was just super boring, do a flip or two and I felt like I had done everything. I also got stuck on the quest where you had to grind on the soup bowls, I couldn't figure out how the hell I was suppose to get up there or grind on it...and it's not like it was going to tell me how to that, since the instructions for that quest where left shift, mouse 4, mouse wheel click....so....very helpfully...all I know is left shift is used to snap to the rail...witch didn't work on the bowls. The art and music where the only things I liked...so it's nice to look at....

tldr - bad controls and no tutorial. hoping to get a refund.

Awesome game, speed run going up in about 7 days when I can make a category. Lots of fun, even though it's a short game its worth checking out. There was a little glitch here and there but nothing game breaking. The concept of one player being taller, square and allowing the other player to jump on their head and carry them around, and the other being able to fit into smaller spaces and not be able to walk through water is amazing. It would allow for a lot of different puzzle ideas if it was a little longer I feel there was a lot of things you could do. Like maybe having the smaller player go through a tunnel and push a button to let the other player through or something like that. It could also allow for more world focused elements that slowly combine and get harder over time as the mix and combine. Of course all of this is assuming there will be another version, witch I hope for, but I understand how long it takes to code something like this.

I loved this game, it heavy reminded my of portal. I found no problems with the game and I loved it so much I finished all of the achievements. The guide "the creator" was also an incredibly enjoyable character, he is a very cute little robot with a lot of personality, and I really enjoyed simply listen to him talk! Also the puzzles well being challenging were still simplistic compared to the complex puzzles in portal. Over all the puzzles were challenging and creative, they also managed to have there own personality and style to it in some way.
~Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed playing portal~
