frustrating, i had 2 zeppelins onthe screen, one vertical and I flew left past it only to find a horizontal one completly blocking my passage. I hate that, it removes the skill portion and makes it luck based

having like 9 planes on your screen in the endless city is a bit to much in my opinion.. impossible to escape from that

Once you upgrade all your birds, you can go afk and rack up huge points. If you add badges to this game hopefully you'll make it more difficult.

I love the new bird species. Just on this demo I rate the new game 5/5. But what else would you expect from hotairracoon? You guys need to make a new Kids vs _____ game btw ;)

So me and my birdy friends we're casually flying around in a large group when suddenly........A MASSIVE PLANE JUST COMES FROM BEHIND US WITHOUT US KNOWING AND SHREDS US ALL TO BITS, not to mention even after all of that the plane flew safely away.

I rarely comment on games, but I agree with satorian that the pause issue needs to be addressed. I was very happy with the score I had achieved, but found myself frozen after pausing the game.
On a lighter note, I really enjoy the game and can't wait for more content!

after the mechanoreception adaptation I never had to move my mouse ever again lol. GREAT GAME, keep up the biological flavor to the game, love upgrading real parts of fowl

after playing endless city for 10 minutes if you die and try to return to the main menu the game freezes on the game screen just before you died can't fix without refresh also it doesn't save any points you gathered from that run

Either these birds are extra-dimensional, the planes are extra-dimensional, Or the birds are infinitely tall. I mean how else can all these planes hit these birds, without hitting each other?

Overall, this is a very good game. I really like the added feature such as new birds, and the fact that each of the birds have unique upgrades. The story is only okay, but passable considering the premise. I have two major flaws with this game- first, the preset "pecking order" can be a little annoying, but it is just one of those things in the game that just CAN'T be avoided while making a game. If it was possible to have an option to customize it BEFORE (not during) a game, it would both add a strategic element and make it less of one of those little nuisances that can't be avoided. The second thing is that at the end of the WWI stage, there is a tremendous amount of lag build up. Just a minor issue is that I preferred how the achievements were set up in the original game, but this little area is just a small annoyance, nothing major. Overall, this is a VERY good game and a lot better than the first, even for a demo.

I think there should be a different way to choose the lead bird; it takes awhile to move the 14th or 15th bird to the front. Similarly, I'd like there to be an indicator of what bird I have at the lead, just so I don't have to remember exactly what they look like.

The upgrade part in the flock entry is really cool and interesting, i was wondering wouldn't he be cool if you could choose a formation for your bird ?cause flying in V formation make you really big in the middle of the screen

hmm, your kickstart millions may have to wait for a game that doesn't box you into unavoidable death within a minute.

I really like the concept of this game, I think the gameplay does need a little polish however, but I'm sure you'll be able to improve upon it in time.

i just got an hour-long run before dying and then it wouldnt go back to the menu it went back to the flight screen (how it was when i died) and it was frozen. I had to refresh and then all the points I earned that flight were erased. Oh well, I almost maxed everything anyway. Tip - While over the water, use seagulls to lead, since they give all seagulls immunity while over water. They seem to handle a bit poorly though so I recommend not having it lead over land once the perk wears off. Otherwise, try and find a black swan and immediately switch it to the front(spam-click and hope you get it before it dies). They seem to grant all white swans immunity, and while they aren't immune themselves this still means you only have to worry about keeping the black swan alive. Especially useful for when you start getting 3+ airplanes on screen at all times. Went from 10 minutes alive to an hour alive after figuring this out.. 8x my previous score too. From 0100000-some to 0800000-some.

I love this game! A nice amount of modes, upgrades, challenge... Beautiful job. I can't wait for the full version! (Multiplayer would rock... Two flocks go in, one comes out!)

I think the frequency of planes appearing should be lowered a bit. I just played a game where a massive plane came, taking up nearly half of the screen, forcing me to fly frantically into a corner to avoid it, only for a second plane (with the first one not having left the screen yet) to come from that very corner to wipe out my entire flock. It's a bit ridiculous (not to mention unrealistic) to have to dodge planes literally every two seconds.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Too many god damn planes. I'l be fine, then a wave of just enough to cover the whole screen come charging and I lose almost all of my birds.

In other news, a flock made of almost entirely of birds thought to be extinct for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years appeared out of a hurricane last night, this scientific phenomenon is being studied closely by the same scientists that recently discovered the remains of geese in the Cretaceous, the Ice Age, and on the moon.

Is their any possible way you would consider allowing if a plane kills enough of your birds that the plane crashes...cause I mean come on I'm having way to many planes and helicopters crossing over for the very limited amount of space I have to maneuver in. Either reduce the size of some of the planes and all or allow for more space so that I can actually dodge.

You'd think that the birds would just fly over/under all the ridiculous aircraft that don't ever collide into each other

recommendation: clicking should switch between types of birds rather than each bird. Flicking through a bunch of pigeons just because I wanted to get to the swan at the back is not great.

Birds, ready yourselves!! We are going to take down these infernal planes once and for all!!!! *massive flock suicide runs at a small plane*
*whole flock dies except for leader*
Dang it.

It would be nice if there could be an "expand your flock without danger"/zen mode. With birds going away every n seconds, depending on the type, for example. Just making a flock. No killings. (Just an idea though)

Legendary birds such as the thunderbird, phoenix, and awe inspiring rocket Penguin. That come out 1 out of maybe 500 birds and count for two birds except rocket Penguin and have abilities like when thunderbird dies all obstaclesnleave the area for 10 seconds.
Pheonix if half of your flock dies with or without the pheonix 4 to 6 birds of various species ,no legendaries, instantly join by sacrificing the pheonix if not killed by the crash. Rocket Penguin improves evasive manuevers speed and tighter formation. These are just suggestions if you use them awesome and if you do not its fine.

I think the system for changing flock leaders is flawed. Much too complicated. Maybe add hotkeys for various bird types? After all, it shouldn't matter which individual bird OF a certain type you have as flock leader, but the type ITSELF seems to matter a great deal.

235 points left and nothing to spend it on?
Also: black swans rule (well right up to the point where you get surrounded by 747s after 15minutes of endless mode). Once you hit around 10 minutes endless mode, game becomes more like a meat grinder
