Nesting Times v2.0 - Release Notes

03/05/2021

Oh No!  Those Barbarbous Beaky Birds have stolen the solutions to the Baby Owlets Times Tables!

Now it's up the Outrageous Owls to recover the stolen digits and feed the Owlets the Times Tables knowledge they desperately need!

Practice your times tables by yourself of with up to 3 friends in this fun time arcade action edutainment spectacular!

Made for the OpenGameArt Game Jam Winter 2021

This game was inspired by the game idea 'An animal simulation game' submitted by WorldLover.

Originally, the owls had to collect mice to feed their young, but then I thought 'What if the mice are carrying numbers?' and my natural bent for Edutainment took over from there.

Version 2.0 is a celebratory post-jam update containing many exciting new features including:

    - Wind and Weather Effects!

    - High Score Tables!

    - Bonus Rabbits to Catch For Points!

    - Heart and 1up Bonuses!

    - Difficulty Adjustment Option!

    - Improved Player vs Player Collisions!

    - Improved Controls!
