Oh man, we finished the GGJ this Sunday, and it was awesome. Well, it was tiring, but it was awesome.
This is our game, it is also awesome.
Please note that it's meant to be a two player game, but if you really wanna control both birds, you can. It's just super hard. Open it in Flash Player if you can, not a browser, because it'll look strange if you do. It'll run fine, just look strange.
I think we forgot to include the controls in the documentation because we wrote it in like the last MINUTE before the deadline, so the blue jay (I made that blue jay!) controls with WASD and the cardinal with the arrow keys.
Our actual idea was to have the tether break if any of those obstacles (the apples, the biplane, etc.) hit it, and when it broke it would cause a game over, so that the two players are competing for points but they're also collaborating to keep the game going. The code didn't work out in time though, saaad. The obstacles will take off points though, so avoid them anyway!
