Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2020

Birdswap is a platformer where your controls are constantly changing. This is the first game jam like this that I've participated in (completely solo too!), and I hope you enjoy it (even if it's quite short).

Controls: (most of these are on-screen while playing, but here's the others!)

Pause - Start Button/P key
Reset - Y Button/R key

I love the simple graphics and the smooth transitions. A tutorial would have been nice ;D

I would've added a tutorial, but I was already cutting it close with time without it!

This game is so beautifully refined! You've done such a good job in making an immersive atmosphere and universe, everything feels smooth and intuitively designed. Amazing work for such a short period of time and on your own too!!

Thank you! I spent quite a long time on making everything feel fluid (probably too much time...).
