The answer lies in the power of whistling! In this charming and uplifting puzzle game, use your whistling skills to guide the gosling through a series of increasingly challenging obstacles and hazards. Will you be able to whistle to the top and help the gosling reach its nest safely.

It would have been a little more satisfying if momma was waiting at the top, or came down after baby went to the nest, but otherwise I loved this game. It was adorable. The obstacles were simple enough that I could figure them out, but there were a few challenging spots. I kept missing the broken fence for the bird to go in at first and trying to get it over the mushrooms but that didn't work. Finally figured it out. And it wasn't until the bird was on the flower with me that I realized the bird was getting closer to me I also chased the bird up a few slopes because it kept catching on a corner, but I got it to the nest!
Cute game!
like others have said, super cute game, a little sticky on the corners but overall a super fun game.
Cute game, cute art, audio felt like a perfect fit for the gameplay and art style. Gosling follow logic worked really well for the most part - seemed a bit sticky on some corners, but that might have been a deliberate gameplay choice to make the player have to control it more carefully.
I'm not sure if I solved the last puzzle properly, if not then there's two solutions and the "wrong" one might be easier as it was the only way I found. I wish I'd realized sooner that the arrow keys also worked for movement, since I found WASD + E a bit awkward since I sometimes had to mash the E button to get the gosling around corners, and once you realize how high you can jump it really seems like you should be able to jump over the fences (it doesn't take long to realize you can't, but it's a bit misleading for a moment). But otherwise, no notes.
A very nice, casual, puzzle platformer.
Extremely sweet game! The puzzles were fun to play through and the storyline is absolutely adorable, as well as the art!! Loved playing, 10000/10 <333
