Ostrich Island

I like collectables and easter eggs. I like them a lot. And [i]Ostrich Island[/i] is loaded with them, so I was expecting to like it, even though it is clearly not a high-budget game. But the gameplay experience, while you hunt all those collectables, needs to at least be tolerable. Ostrich Island is so clunky and clumsy that the gameplay experience is agonising. The "thrill of the hunt" aspect simply fails to outweigh the "tedium of the interface."

Ostrich Island se présente comme un petit jeu d'exploration. En gros, on incarne une autruche qui doit trouver un certain nombre d'oeufs dans un niveau plus ou moins ouvert, plus divers bonus. les graphismes restent correctes, les niveaux sont un minimum variés et l'humour debilos fonctionne. MAIS la prise en main est un echec. la bestiole pese une tonne avec une inertie dégueulasse. les bonus activables que l'on achètent ne s'activent pas, les commandes ont un temps de latence impardonnable. on note des bugs, surtout liés à la physique, dans tous les sens, sans compter les bugs graphiques. et des que les niveaux se déroulent dans l'ombre, on ne voit plus rien. Dommage, avec un peu plus de travail, ça aurait pu être marrant. malheureusement, passé 2h, c'est corbeille.

Suggested by a good friend and notorious troll who thought it might make for a laugh of a stream. Surprisingly we spent 4 and a half hours any%ing the damned thing. Was it enjoyable? Not precisely. But it does what it says on the tin (ostrich sim), is a complete experience from start to finish, and provides some cursed content to farm some views with.

It's not. Bad little game tbh. The controls are a little clunky, the walk speed starts so slow before going normal speed, sometimes it takes a moment before kicking. The crab things are annoying too as they one hit kill you and often are hidden in grass. But the rest is quite decent collectathon with some nice hidden extras. Played on steam deck with no issues, little laggy at first but ok afterwards,so probably shaders loading

This game has ostriches in it. if you press q to bury your head. Very based. what a great RPG. the dungeon stages are scary ):

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.
