You are a master of eloquent game design. You present complex mechanics in a minimalist way... what a skill!! A true shining star in a universe of devs. I'm a huge fan of your work!
This game is really fun. It can be a bit disorienting at first, but you get used to it, trust me. Well done, Daniel.
Even when I was stumped I still loved it. Excellent game!
48 hours and you know your way around shaders?
Dude you are seriously experienced at GML and game design!
Why do you bother with games that have so little market value?
Is this just a hobby for you?
I was enthralled the whole time!
Hi, my name is MabiVsGames and I took the liberty to make a video for you. I record games for various indie developers to show off their works! I'd be honored if you'd embed this video any where you'd like to show off your game, for example here if you wish! If you like my presentation and style I'd be more than happy if you'd contact me through YouTube if you ever want any of your other games to be done by me whether they be first looks/tutorials/fun/etc videos I'd be glad to help you out! Thanks for your time!

It's finally time to leave the nest.
The whole wide world sprawls out before you
(conveniently squeezed into just one screen),
waiting to be explored. Can you learn to fly?
KEYBOARD CONTROLS:
A / D or Left / Right — Move
W or Up or Space — Jump
R — Retry (suicide)
Enter — Make Nest
Esc — Exit
Alt + Enter — Toggle Fullscreen
M — Mute
Backspace — Refresh Screen
D + L — Hold for three seconds to delete all progress
XBOX GAMEPAD CONTROLS:
Left Stick or D-pad — Move
A or D-pad — Jump
Y — Retry (suicide)
B or Start — Make Nest
HELP:
Please note that...
The game is quite demanding and might run slowly on older PCs. Closing other programs may help.
If the screen goes white (for example, after alt-tabbing) try pressing backspace to refresh the screen. This shouldn't happen but the solution is there in case anyone needs it.
If you get stuck...
Each stick you collect lets you build a nest. When you die, you restart at the most recently visited nest. Some areas are very hard to beat without having nests to act as checkpoints, so collect sticks when you can reach them.
There are five upgrades to find which improve your jump height or give you special abilities.
Throughout the world are seven gems. What happens if you collect all of them?
