This game, I felt, was a good difficulty, though the bird seemed impossible to avoid, even with dash. I like the perspective you took of the episode, and it definitely has a Courage vibe with the theme, the snake wearing a cowboy hat (I don't remember if that was in the episode, but it definitely seems like a Courage thing), and the music. I liked how you used the mother bird coming down to attack the snake to add a challenge. Some smaller things, but I liked the interactivity of the menus as well as the transparency added to the mother bird so you could still see what you were doing. The graphics could use a bit of work (mainly the background and the menu screens), and I think some kind of dash meter would be helpful.

There is actually a snake that wears a top hat in a different episode Courage which the cowboy hat is an homage to.
I agree on the graphics... art has never been my strong point and I had a different idea in mind originally (based on the episode with the top hat wearing snake, Big Bayou) but ended up shifting right before the end of the game. As a consequence my background and menus were what really suffered but I powered through with a sort of "purposeful programmer art" aesthetic :D
Thank you so much for playing and your great feedback! I really appreciate it!
