Branches Away
Made for TriJam # 182.
Theme is Branches Away.
I took branches as in trees and away as in going out or up, so I created a vertical scroller where the aim is to get as high as possible in the tree.
Keys are left and right only.
Springs boost you higher.
Watch out for other birds.
NB: Bug with the scoring ran out of time to fix.
Animal assets by Kenney.
Vector art by me.
Sound effects from Zapsplat.
Game idea based on Doodle Jump

Nice score in the jam! You did way better than me lol
Thanks, getting better. Key is to make game playable. I like the changes you made, Definitely better to play now. Thought your score for theme should have been lower. Bit unlucky there. And 1st place was longer than 3 hours I thought that voided any score. Oh well.
Yeah I assumed that one would be disqualified as well. Whatever, I just imagine my score as #8 out of 13 rather than #9 out of 14 lol.
Are you planning to do the Trijam again this weekend? I think I will because it's helpful for getting better. This one was my first one
Yeah it was just watched the Trijam twicth stream and he gave 1st to second place. Good to know. Hey still top 10 :)
Not sure yet done a few now and kinda thinking should try something a bit bigger. I like coding but am always handicapped by the graphics side of things. Not being artistic, how about you?
I think I will do this next one because I like the theme and have a fun idea for it, but yeah I get wanting to do something bigger. Probably going to do the VimJam this september.
the enemy hitbox are square?
good spotting. Missed that. Usually miss something with such a tight time frame. Thanks.
Nice game, my score was 7438
Thanks, good score, I went on a bit of a mission after seeing your score took quite a lot of go's but managed about 14000. Thanks for giving me the challenge.
I'm glad I challenged you to get a better score, however before rating the game (good rating obviously) I played it again and got 15573. I challenge you to beat me again :D
I like a challenge, after many attempts I got 26000. My tip avoid the springs, made it easier to avoid enemies.
Woah you win, I tried my best and couldn't quite get above 20k. Nice job! :D
Idea I came up with after playing for a while: It could be cool if the different bird enemies had different movement patterns to change it up a bit. Just a suggestion though.
Really cool game! Love the bird arts :D
Thanks for that, bird artwork is from kenney's, they have great art work for such tight game jams like this.
