Just bought the game but noticed later that it was discounted on Catalogue to $2. Can $2 be refunded here? Sorry I didn't notice there was a sale ongoing.
Hi there! Thanks for the interest and purchasing. I looked into this and looks like itch.io does not provide an ability to do partial refunds. Wish I could, but here is some more information on refunds: https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#refunds
Very lovely game and well crafted. It's a bit frustrating to have go again for the feathers when you've discovered all (I've loved the cup of tea one xD), but this game gives a smile on my face :) I'm really excited about your next game.
I've resubmitted version 1.0.3 as the build number wasn't updated. It will hopefully be ready soon and allow you to update the game once the update is ready! Sorry about that.
Gather enough feathers, then fly up through the ceiling where the stairs are near the left side of the 1st floor. You can start from the top shelf to gain elevation before you start to fly.
How can we improve scores? When destroying an object, there seem to be a kind of multiplier factor, but most of the time, I get 0 or 1. I see persons in the leader board who achieve 10 000 points, but the most I did was ~2100. I guess I discovered most secrets, so I don’t understand….
Hi intono! Sorry to hear you are having crash problems. When it crashes, there should be an error screen you can get to from the crash screen. Able to send what that error log says? I haven't heard of other reports yet so might be a strange one, but happy to troubleshoot and get that fix in. Thanks!
On the default error screen where you see that link, does it say Press A to restart and Press B for more information above that? Pressing B should give you the error details thats triggered. Hope that helps!
May be an error with the installation if there isn't code that's generating the error. Have you tried deleting data for the game and/or uninstalling and installing again? Sorry to hear about the issues!
Generally future updates, which would include bug fixes and possibly changes in content (audio, visual, etc.). I have another game that was previously free, and bought it simply because it had more music.
It seems that a lot of people adore this game. Great work.
Absolutely beautiful presentation and wonderful gameplay. I think it would have been nice to be able to dodge the capture box—if the player really books it.
I can imagine this world expanding. Extra floors. More houses. Maybe even outside areas between houses with irritating leaf blowers and dangerous lawnmowers?
As someone who's a huge fan of the Glider series on the Macintosh, I can't help but picture some of the elements from those games popping into this one.
Love the feedback! I think being able to dodge or outrun the box is a good idea.
Extra floors is definitely a part of this. More houses might eventually come, but not at the moment. I had an idea to make the second house have more puzzle elements like levers and keys to find (thanks for those who provided that idea).
Congrats! This has the potential to be one of the best action games on the system. The Graphics are awesome, and the mobility is like butter. With the inclusion of some randomized placements, an extra floor or two, and a more polished stealth system, this is a game I would spend hours playing. My only gripe is the horizontal visibility, I feel like the human sees me as soon as she appears on-screen.
Every time I see your 1-bit art I'm amazed how polished and detailed it looks for the medium. I had a blast flying around exacting revenge on the human! Cool use of Panels in the tutorial as well :).
This game is an absolute treat, it's the perfect pick up and play when you've just got a couple minutes game. I've completed the game a couple times and managed a huge hignscore(albeit not quite understanding how the scoring works). Are you planning any more levels or some sort of procedural generation?
Thanks and glad to hear! Objects have different point amounts. If you destroy multiple objects in a row, the multiplier stacks resulting in a higher score.
There was a whole second floor planned for initial release, but decided to reduce scope for this competition. I have some of it designed out, but just hadn't had the time.
Procedural generation is a great idea or even randomization of object placement. Thanks for the idea!
I'll be looking forward to more levels. This is easily my favorite experience on the playdate so far. I imagine that if you continue developing this beyond the competition, you'd likely be able to get this listed on Catalog. If and when that happens you can add global leaderboards and really see what the people can do with the multipliers!
Thanks for your kind words! Yes, I may have to look to add more levels or additional content to make it a more complete game. Would be great to be listed on Catalog! Global Leaderboards would be awesome!

Thanks for trying. I did love the game alot and am happy to reward for your excellent craftsmanship.

Should the 1.0.3 update arrive automatically on catalog? mine still says 1.0.2

I love this game so much!
But.. I can't figure out how to go upstairs 🙈

Thanks for playing! You need to break objects before the multiplier stops. If you can string together more breaks, then the multiplier keeps going.
Thank you. What the Crow is one of my favorite PD game. Real great UX and fun to explore.
Glad to hear! Thanks for playing!
Hi there!
The Catalog version of this game crashes my playdate every time I try to open it. I don't really want to go through itch for it.
Will there be a fix for this coming to Catalog?
Thanks

Hi Lumi
On the error screen I got directed here: https://help.play.date/e0/
I don't know how to access a more detailed error log.
On the default error screen where you see that link, does it say Press A to restart and Press B for more information above that? Pressing B should give you the error details thats triggered. Hope that helps!
hi Lumi!
Sorry, but it doesn't give me that option. Only to press A and the link I shared.
May be an error with the installation if there isn't code that's generating the error. Have you tried deleting data for the game and/or uninstalling and installing again? Sorry to hear about the issues!
Great job. Love the concept.
thank you!
How will the release version be different?
Generally future updates, which would include bug fixes and possibly changes in content (audio, visual, etc.). I have another game that was previously free, and bought it simply because it had more music.
Yup! Just replied to PugCoder with a few additions, but more music is definitely in the game.
There is another floor to explore, some hidden feathers, additional music, global highscores, etc...
We want more!

Appreciate your thoughts and interest!
Ooh. Puzzle elements would be super cool. I look forward to whatever things you decide to add.
Totally. Thanks for the initial feedback. I have incorporated the ability to escape the box in a future update.
Congrats! This has the potential to be one of the best action games on the system. The Graphics are awesome, and the mobility is like butter. With the inclusion of some randomized placements, an extra floor or two, and a more polished stealth system, this is a game I would spend hours playing.

Wow! Thanks!
Randomized placements seems like a good way to go. I'll see if I can add them.
Yeah, the human seeing the crow can be a bit tricky. I have included footstep sounds when the human is close but offscreen.
Congrats on winning.
Appreciate it! And thanks for running such an awesome jam!
Fantastic stuff, such a fun game! Just "feels" right, even down to the little feather dropping as you flap.
Thank you!

Thanks Fev!
This game is a delight!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
This one's realllll good. Great job! Feels like an easy in for Catalog.
I hope I can get it into Catalog. Will be working on a few updates before submission.
The game is cute as heck, fun to play with tight controls and a nice little story. Totally recommended.
Thanks!
