The year is 1507 on the small island of Mauritius.
You play a flock of docile dodo birds as they go about their business as they've done for millennia.
But Portuguese sailors have recently arrived on the island, and have brought strange new animals with them. How long can you survive their onslaught?

The weirdest game I've played by far. In a good way. The spawning of the pigs/goats is hilarious. Of course the concept is 100% unique too. Lots of games about outer space, several about ghosts... only 1 game about dodo birds. If there was a uniqueness award, you'd have won it. The game is really challenging too. Nice work!
You really feel the struggle of the Dodo when there's a tornado of pigs and goats chasing you
My poor dodos went extinct almost immediately. Great game!
Nice, short game. Like visuals. Newer imagine that dodo can't swim ;)
I just did laps around the island until a flying pig from the ship killed me. Pretty random lol, but I had fun! Poor dodos you will be missed.
A realy nice humor , the only thing i want to say is that by placing a 2d gameobject into a 3d world the 2d will look weerd. By rotating it to the camera or placing one onthe x and one on the y or by replacing it by a 3d model the game would look beter.
The first really funny LD game I've played. I really like the way the pigs and goats behave.
very funny little game. Wasn't sure what to do at first but it gave me a good laugh
Hilarious! Played this with a big grin on my face :) A little bit of music could do wonders i think.
Haha really nice concept. I like how the boats just keep on flooding the island as they arrive. But I realized that the Dodo's ultimate survival technique is its ability to swim (and not drown)! :)
The hordes of animals are pretty hilarious and the island looks great! Awesome hiscore display too :D
Simple and funny idea :) The trees look a bit strange, but who cares ;)
The game is really neat, and the concept is good, however it doesn't relate to the theme very well.
Weird and unique (theme-wise). I managed to break it and to survive... for ever, hehe.
Spawning is hilarious, lol. Managed to survive by camping out in the ocean.
Took me awhile to figure out what was going on at first! Many dodos were slaughtered.
Pretty funny silly game. poor birds! I liked the island. I wished there was more to do than avoid dying. Maybe get some collectibles or something to make it worth running into risky areas.
So cool! Good thing dodos can swim. maybe that's where some still are...
Cute idea. I survived indefinitely by using the dodo's most overpowered ability -- walking on water while all the animals commit suicide!
I love how the ship swings by and drops of a SWARM of pigs! The pigs are crazy by the way. Interesting interpretation of the theme, but the controls and the ever rotating camera made it too hard to control. Maybe consider adding some kind of attack ability to fend of those blood thirsty herbivores? ;D
Weird. Probably not intended, but if you jump in the water you became immortal. The Dodo Highlander. There can be only one!
Damn those killer pigs! Is it intentional all the other dodos being killed so quick?
Awesome game! Would be even better with some comedy sound effects. It seems you can just walk out to sea and survive indefinitely though. Overall, very good game :)

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
