I had the same glitch as dr_c_owen, where in the 2nd area, the screen went grey.
Well, I paused and tried to go to the menu and it just went grey.

I like the different bird species and how they each have special skills. I also like the fact that I can change the pecking order to suit my playing style. However, some sort of radar upgrade would be nice so my flock is not constantly wiped by by planes coming from behind.

The planes are way to big and some waaay to fast, there is chance in h*ll to avoid them (this is written after the 12/6 -upgrade)

This looks pretty nice. On my first try, I got quite a few achievements. :) When I checked how many there were, I saw that I had quite a bit to go.

Glad I could help out. Backing this new game is awesome, lets me know im actualy giving back to the people that give to us.

I must have missed the companion game where you play an air traffic controller who gets epic bonus points for guiding aircraft into massive bird strikes.

Oh, also, it would be cool if, instead of the flock moving about the viewport, the viewport moved instead. That way, you could keep the same visibility, which I think makes more sense. But I'm not sure how well the controls would work out that way.

A little too easy, IMO. After one attempt at the story mode, I had found all but the black swan and was able to fully upgrade all of the non-restricted adaptations (that is, must be flock leader, must be over water, etc.). I finished the story mode on the second attempt and was able to fully upgrade every adaptation. (Except the black swan's, since I still haven't seen one.)
That said, it's still frustrating for a Fokker to come zooming up behind you and wipe out three-quarters of your flock. It's also annoying to see planes fly through each other. And I'm not sure what about the body of a zeppelin kills birds.

So I played through story mode and got about 650 points. I bought a lot of upgrades and started endless city mode. I got bored after about 6 minutes and went to grab a snack, and when I came back about 15 minutes later my flock was still going strong with no supervision.

The game is much too easy, there is just such a high volume of birds coming in every second that any clumsiness is quickly undone.

I found a glitch in the second area of adventure mode (World War 2 I believe), at around the 4 minute mark the background became gray and all planes stopped. Birds still spawned though and I could just leave the game alone until my score reaches infinity.
I found a few things that could've been causing this, so I believe it's been fixed (I've played through a bunch of times and haven't repeated the problem)

When a plane comes and takes either the left or right side of my flock, some from the oppisite side come to even the sides out, inevitably killing themselves and repeating the process if the plane is there for long enough. Please fix this.

Problem seems like if you get a high enough score or something the screen gets messed up and then when you go back to the menu the screen is blank. Still cool game.

Near end of WWI after red baron a bug appeared, backscreen got replaced by plain grey, no more airplanes cames but still a blot birds. Hat golden flock and canary as flock leader. This way golden bonus points get collected endless, till even the sound of the collected birds disappears, but any how promising game, liked the first too :D

Is it supposed to happen that the whole screen turns grey with only your birds left and tons of birds flying in your flock again and again?

Wow amazing technology where planes can now go through each other at the exact same altitude, unfortunate for the birds who fly at the exact same altitude.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
to play this game you must have phsyk powers, to guess when and from where at wich speed a plane will come, planes shold be not slower, but at last came with an advice of 1 sec at last.

The Airport area is just a little to difficult, I find my self getting boxed in over and over. Otherwise, a few tweaks here and there, maybe a few more achievements and you have front page content.

Another thing I've noticed is that if you lose golden goose mode, any birds flying to you will keep on facing the direction they were facing before they stopped.

Lots of airplanes flying today. Then, when they see invincible flying birds going through their airplanes, I wonder what the people inside think while planes and birds went through em.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
great concept but planes flying into each other and not exploding is a little ridiculous, unless the game were three dimensional but then why does any of the flying vehicles kill birds?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I would appreciate if I the planes were smaller, or if there were less planes. There was at least once in the game where the entire screen was filled with giant planes.

I think one of the root problems is scaling. Everything takes up too much of the play area. The birds are too big, the dangers are too big.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well, here is what I think, there should be a sort of guide for biomes/ areas, or even a cack story on some fo the planes, like what year are they, are they well used, speed, size, ect. THis is a great game although it is a demo, although I still hope that the full version is better than this. - Ryan

My only real comment is the birds move somewhat slow compared to the planes going extremely fast and the fact that they are everywhere makes it very hard to get any extra birds. Can't wait for the final product, send another PM when its done.

I enjoyed the 1st one but feel the birds in this are just huge even sparrows and doves feel giant compared to the tiny flight area. Maybe zoom it out a bit more to give the player some space to spread their wings
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
having to face several of those insanely huge planes at the same time so that they completely cover the screen in every fly (run) doesn't really seem fair...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The hitboxes are Brobdingnagian compared to the size of the screen, and the birds are too slow. I loved the first one, but I'm having trouble enjoying a game in which a plane can come off the edge of the screen at an inopportune moment and be far too big for you to escape no matter what you do.

Well I spent some time with it and I like it as it stands. Feels like a good improvement to the first Endless Migration. Upgrades are great, and the ability to focus on a flock leader compliments that. Sadly, the act of choosing a flock leader is so haywire that I barely even try when I have a large flock. You have to click away and hope for the best, plus it's very hard to see the highlight. And while I seem to recall this being a problem for me in the original Endless Migration, I do think air space is just too congested. I'd rather duck and dodge, not accumulate enough of a flock to withstand the inevitable 747 that will shred up most of me. Finally, I do like that you all are engaged in a Kickstarter campaign. I'll follow your progress and consider a donation, depending on how things flow.

A huge improvement on one, I like the addition of separate species of birds particularly, it makes it feel much more strategic. The invincibility on death effect is also most welcome, it lets them live through the odd situation of an impossible to evade combination.
Fall 2012, can't wait!

Great game can't wait for the full version. Couple suggestions: One of the birds could have an ascend/descend upgrade. In cases of unavoidable contact, a key on the keyboard could alter the flock's altitude for a short time. This could have a cooldown period. Also, since it is story mode, you can explain why such a wide variety of birds are migrating together. 5/5

@ comments: it's not a demo asking you to pay for the full version, it's a demo of a work in progress...
@ dev: it's shaping up nicely, and for the smart-swap I'd assign hotkeys to 1-9 for your flock priority or just numbered species for easy picking if you have them in your flock. Still run into situations where the entire screen is not safe (two large planes side by side clearing the screen of birds), but that's not too huge considering how easy it is to get 50 pts. Looking forward to the finished product.

Death is much sadder in this sequel! It's a beautiful upgrade. I might be mistaken, but I think an entire screen was blimps with no safe path available.

Is it going to be realeased as paid game/game with lots of premium content, or it's going to be only sponsored by K and have ads in it?
