The app this game was built into received the Industry Innovator Award for Pet Care in my state, and was a finalist for Invention Convention 2022's U.S. Nationals! Thanks for all your support! = = = = = = = 1st time I've coded a game! [ START ] - This game can only be played on a computer. - At the beginning, there is a comic. Click to go to the next slide. You are a female pigeon in this game. The other egg in your nest is infertile. You leave the nest when you are old enough and fly for a long time until it is night. A boy and a girl playing in a backyard spots you. Recognizing you as a pigeon, they spray you with a garden hose, and chase you deep into the woods. Your objective is to find your way to the city and have eggs - to start a new life cycle. [ CONTROLS ] - Navigate with the left and right arrow keys, or A and D - Down arrow key or S to sleep, up arrow key or W to get back up from sleeping position. You can only sleep at night, when the sky is dark blue with stars and does not have any other colors. You can also use the up arrow or W key to fly, and down arrow or S key to land. - Objects like plants, birdbaths, puddles, berries etc outlined in BLUE means a water source. Click on them to drink from them. You must not let your water bar go empty, otherwise you will die. - Objects like plants, donuts, bagels, crumbs, seeds, etc outlined in ORANGE means a food source. Click on them to eat them. You must not let your food bar go empty, otherwise you will die. - Click on birds to interact. There is a wren named Kit, a goose named Al, a pair of ducks, a chicken named Maisy, a blue jay named Skai, a pigeon named Scar, a pigeon named Raven, an additional goose, and two blue jays. Do not click on other birds or do anything else while a bird is speaking. Do not sleep while a bird is speaking or there is a notification you haven't closed. However, you must sleep during the night at some point. It won't be day until you sleep and wake up. - Birds say different things with each click. After carrying out their instructions, click them again to see if they say anything else different. - Walk to the edge of the screen to go to the next place. If nothing happens when you are touching the edge, then you've reached one of the ends of this world. - The season will change every 5 minutes. - If you eat food with pesticides, or polluted water, your health bar will decrease. There is no way to replenish your health bar. When it becomes empty, you will die, so stay away from options you have learned are unhealthy whenever possible! [ TIPS / TROUBLESHOOTING ] - Do not click on Raven (the pigeon next to Scar, with yellow highlights in his feathers) until you have clicked on everyone else and carried out all other tasks and you can't find anything else to do. If you click on him before this, say No when he asks whether you want to go to the park with him, then come back to him last. - When you click on Maisy for the third time, she will ask you to visit the park. Keep going right until you see a place with a goose and two blue jays, that's the park. Do not do anything else (except for getting food and water) on your journey to the park. After you visit the park, directly return to Maisy. She will ask you if you can bring her to the park. If you say yes, she will follow you everywhere, but the next part of storyline will only be activated once you reach the park. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OTHER BIRDS WHILE MAISY IS WITH YOU. However, you can click on food and water. Make sure your food and water bars are nowhere near empty before you enter the park, because you will not be able to collect food or water for a bit there. Once you enter the park, there will be a short slideshow/story. Then, you can resume normal activity. - The pair of ducks in the meadow will give you some of their grass if you're hungry, after you've clicked on them 3+ times. - When you finally click on Raven, and agree to go to the park with him, he will ask you if you want to have eggs with him. If you say yes, a short scene will play and the game will end because you have completed the crucial part of your life cycle. If you still want to keep playing for a while, say no and click on him if you want to change your mind & end the game.
