Ostark and Didi
Ostark and Didi are two very special birds! They cannot only instantly pick up new tricks, they can also telepathically transmit these to each other. Of course, with their pea brain they also tend to instantly forget these tricks after they used them.
Anyway, life was good for Ostark & Didi... but nothing can last forever. Aliens have invaded these lands, looking to get a hold of one of them, to steal their unique powers. Make sure this doesn't happen! Guide them to the safety of their nest!
This is a cooperative puzzle platformer game made for two players, that can also be played with one player controlling both birds. It is made to be played with XBOX360 controllers (or compatible) on Windows, but it can also be played with two players on one keyboard.
Originally this game was made for the Global Game Jam 2018 (theme: "Transmission"), but since then, a lot of new content has been added! Note that you can easily add your own levels or content to the game. If you do, please let us know!

I am playing this for 50 mins and it is too addictive! I am on lvl," A distraction 1" and it gets interesting as I continue playing. A really good game bro!!!!!
Thanks for playing, and thanks a lot for the feedback! Let me know how far you get and whether you're stuck. Originally it's a 2-player coop game, so some of the later levels can be quite hard in single player mode...
Yeah that's what I thought, I was playing singleplayer and It was just two hard! Gotta find some to play with me!
That would be great, especially if they then also tell a friend... ;-)
However, you can also set the difficulty to "easy" in the options menu.
really liked it! Keep it up bro!
