Way to hard for me but I'm a huge fan none the less.  The title screen with the owl and that song are worthy of immortality.

The game definitely has a steep learning curve.

Best is to hold space to swoop, and use the left and right arrow keys to turn. Takes a bit of getting used to, but feels awesome when you get it.

Yeah, I've got the hang of it a little more now. I think the main thing was that I was expecting that I should be able to get nearly every bird.

I button-smashed space first, which is so not working, along mellow swoop through the pests and around lamp posts...that's the way of owling!

You could read the post that explains it... but that'd be too obvious. Better to just get upset.

It's looks a fun game but why owls? As far as I know owls in the UK don't hunt other birds sparrow hawks do that job and leave owls to hunt mice lol

I'm actually happy for this "gravedig" as I hadn't read this thread yet and now have something interesting to download to check out. : ) Now if only download speeds weren't so horrifically slow! : / 2.5KB/s OUCH!! Damn-nit! :) I hate being in the gulf!!! It's too fucking hot! There's shitty internet speeds. And it's Ramadan which means no one can EAT or DRINK in public! I'm not usually one for knocking on religions but it's just so stupid that it lasts for a whole month, not to mention that it shifts 10 days every year... something to go along with the phase of the moon. You can't even have water! It's the fucking DESERT!! *Hmph* Okay okay, enough disgruntlement. At least this was a worthy grave dig. Thanks Chibi! :)
