A Seagull Game

This is not a deep game with deep philosophy that will change your life. It's a short little rough title with random mildly philosophical quips, that serve more as comic relief than as thought fodder. Yes there's the occasional typo, there's some textures that are clearly smaller textures stretched so that the resolution is thrown out of whack, and the in stage artstyle isn't the most cohesive thing on the planet: however, it still does feel reasonably cohesive, the intro and ending little cutscenes are rather distinctive and have a very neat artstyle, the level design is alright, and it really doesn't overstay its welcome. For free, I cannot complain.

A fun game with a lovely asthetic, well worth playing for casual and hardcore gamers alike.

It does feel kinda bad throwing shade at a game that's literally free, but... it's just not a good experience. It's listed as a puzzle platformer, but in practice it's more of a maze and minor memory test. Yes, there's in retrospect some minor puzzle elements to not take a bad decision if a given path ends up failing, but it's more down to luck whether your initial run through a given level was successful or not. You can only see one row and a half a time and ironically enough your seagull character can't fly to undo paths, so sometimes you'll have to take a death and see what you could have done better. It's a shame the gameplay is so disappointing since the presentation is really solid. Hopefully Jellyfei will give us more games with more interesting gameplay (there's two older projects on itch but they seem to be rather rudimentary so not gonna judge Lifei for them) in the future.

A Seagull Game is a very short little puzzle platformer with a surprisingly strange idea behind it. I play as a seagull that is trying to get some chips from the pier, but after crashing into a window I end up inside the ventilation system of an office building. From there I am moving through this odd hidden world, meeting different creatures and trying to work out how to reach the end of each area. The whole thing only takes around 15 to 30 minutes, so this is definitely more of a quick experience than a full length game. The puzzle design is what makes it worth playing for me. The levels use Sudoku inspired mechanics, so I have to think about where I can move and how the different parts of the level fit together rather than simply running from one side to the other. I like that the game gives me time to work things out without putting me under unnecessary pressure. The platforming is fairly simple, but combining it with the puzzle elements gives the levels a little more personality than I would expect from something this short. The hand drawn black and white artwork is probably my favourite part of the presentation. Everything has a rough illustrated look that makes the game fe…

I found this game too short but in a good way. Please add more stuff!

Really nice game! Loved the hand-drawn style and gameplay mechanics. One of the levels almost drove me crazy and almost made me quit the game but eventually I found the right combo. Considering the given time for development and everything that was done it's a really good game. Hope one day you'll add more levels!
