Bird Panic
A retro-style avoid-em-up. Collect food and avoid the robots that are trying to spy on you and show you targeted advertisements. Flap around and have fun, okay?
Just check out this review!

What'cha been making lately? Really sleek visual feel and stuff in this game. Very basic, so looking for something with more depth
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Haven't been able to get anything out lately, but I'd love to hear what you think about the mechanics of this game. What do you like about them? How many gems have you gotten?
Hello uncleAlias, I played your Bird Panic game and I have made a gameplay review video about it! Here are also some notes as well. I would appreciate for you to join my YouTube channel. The more people join in, the more I am motivated to do these reviews.
The video has more to show than these notes over here! I would love also to see this game hit the multiplayer option.
Thanks so much for playing it! A few notes/questions:
- There are 2 types of platforms - the loose dirt ones can be dropped down/jumped through, but the rocky ones can't. I'm currently working on making them look more different from each other.
- When you tried Classic mode and the game suddenly ended, is seems like you accidentally pressed "U" and then "G". Those are cheats keys that trigger "Unlimited Hearts" and "Game Over", which seems to be what happened by looking at the screen. The game doesn't normally end like that!
- right now the gems are just used as an overall score, but I hope to add a system where you can buy things with them, or you need a certain number to get past certain points.
Thanks again for making the video!
Thank you for explaining more about your game! And I really hope this game make it up more. And thank you for joining in for the YouTube journey, it really means a lot to me.
Wow this is a great update! Adventure mode is kicking my ass. There are so many new levels and having goals to try again and again makes it challenging and addictive! 3 out of 3 gems ;)
this game is cool, simple mechanics and endless(my kind of game)
Glad you liked it, thanks for the review!
The idea is cool, beautiful animation
Thanks so much!
I'll be doing a lot more with the gameplay
I will wait with impatience
