this was an awesome platformer
its a really neat game its just the controls are too floaty for my liking
although i assume thats because you play as a chicken
Ha ha, I accidentally beat the game with all the fruit without even knowing I could ceiling run and stuff because I didn't read the instructions :P

Epic!
Yowza, this was a fantastic precision platformer! Overall the game felt very smooth and intuitive and I loved going through all of the courses. The tutorial was great at teaching all of the techniques, and I loved employing them, and even found out a lot of unexplained tech through logical experimentation! I didn't have a single missed input or some sort of unfair stuff happen to me: everything felt sharp and perfectly responsive. Fantastic stuff here: what a short and sweet adventure!
If I was to have any feedback, I'd love for it to save our progress or at least highlight what level we last completed on the level selection. Also, I'll admit that the choice for a feathered protagonist was a bit odd: usually when you think of birds, you think of mechanics like flapping or something like that, not sticking to walls and sliding along them like a certain animate slab of meat, haha!
