1/19/2012 — hopefully fixed the bug where the bird will barge through a wall and fly away, never to return…let me know if you still see it happening!

This was special. Glad I was patient and let it unfold. I was initially put off by a few things -- the odd jumping, an interactive object unlike anything else and apparently without purpose -- these made the game seem unfocused. I began to see a pattern; my interest in the poem grew. I almost stopped (face-then-catch frustration). Eventually I tuned in to the logic of solutions, and just enjoying watching it unfold. I learned to read the pixel art style better -- e.g. recognizing the gurney. Many scenes (such as falling-to-kneeling) are well done, although early cartoonish jumping and later googley-eyes later feel a bit off. I liked the winking, though. A pixel font makes the poem hard to read at times - the game and reading compete for attention more than they should perhaps, given the weight of the ending.
Mixed reactions, but five stars in the end. Creative, well done.
Many good points that will all be mulled over -- thanks for sticking with it :D

Did the bird remind anyone else of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven"?

To those who have commented positively -- many thanks!
To those who have commented negatively -- many thanks!
To those who were not able to play it because of bugz that are hopefully now patched out -- :(

Not sure if it's good in a weird way or weird in a good way. Still, a good game !

the most wonderful (short) art game I've ever played.
The more times I notice this comment, the more I wonder if you are saying that it is the most wonderful of all the short art games you've played, or that art games become more wonderful as they become shorter, reaching full potential when they are finished before they begin. If you ever see this response, I hope that you will decide the matter.
