Wings & Whiskers
A cute local co-op puzzle-platformer starring an unlikely duo: Wings the Pigeon and Whiskers the Ferret. Embark on a journey across the lush landscapes of Daisy Banks as you face a range of obstacles that can only be conquered through teamwork.
Disclaimer- full-screen not recommended for wide-screen monitor users (you'll unintentionally be able to see outside the map) OR some users with smaller screens (causing the sides of the map to be cut off).
- Easter egg if all collectibles found!
- I may add more levels in the future for fun :D
Controls:

A brilliant, complete game with so much polish, and puzzle gameplay that expertly treads the line between challenge and frustration without straying into the latter too much (with the exception of me being poor at mega-jumps). The visuals are stunning and look like they all were designed together, but remarkably were sourced from different locations--you've done an excellent job in making these fit together so cohesively. The cozy music and artwork leads the player into a false sense of security that the game would be easy when it isn't, I love that. Heaps of great features and even had time for an easter egg and a end of game screen too, great job. I could see this having even more levels as a full game, but it is also a really nice complete project for staying on itch and being showcased into the future :)
