Description

Good Morning, Bird is a musical platformer. Most "music" games use music simply as audio feedback, which is functionally the same as using simple sound effects. However, music is sound in time. By taking advantage of this fact, Good Morning, Bird creates a world where everything is tied to the music to give the player intuition for the way the world behaves. The order given by this musicality helps the player to understand not only what has happened, but what will happen, enabling players to do things which would be otherwise too difficult. In the game, you play as a newly hatched egg exploring the world for the first time. Avoid the snakes and badgers, but collect the musical notes.
