Ca-Caw! Just pushed a brand new update to version 1.0.21!

Something you might want to check out is a new Gameplay Setting called "Wall Bounce"

This lets you disable bouncing off of walls and making the squeaky sound. Personally, I love the way it works by default, but thought it might make flying around easier for some folks based on the feedback we got. Here's what it looks like side by side On and Off:

Let us know what you think.

Here's the full changelog since last patch notes:

v1.0.21
- Added Wall Bounce setting and slightly re-scaled things
- Updated default joystick mappings for Playstation 4 controllers
- Added localization support for Control Mapper
- Crow Customizer: adjusted text position to prevent button overlap
- Crow Customizer will now refresh more (fixes potential bug where it might not show unlocked decors)
- Slight text changes and clarifications in dialogues
- Quaint Town: added extra briefcase guy for safety and made the task / achievement more forgiving
- Egypt: hid confusing keyhole on sphinx
- Egypt: changed number of diamonds needed to be stolen to 4

- Egypt: added a hint about lantern making tornadoes go away
- Ponyhawk now mention races are optional

- Moon: ship core detection box increased size to prevent losing core when clipping into the stand

Last weekend, we were selected to be part of the PAX Rising showcase during PAX West 2024! It was a loooong 4 days of exhibiting and talking about the game, but it was SO GREAT introducing it to new players, and saying Hi to some of our existing fans :D

It wasn't without some challenges - we actually started running out of flyers (what a good problem to have!) and kept running to the print shop to get more! We also had several people ask for a QR code to scan, so we added that second day, only to realize there's basically NO reception there (since too many people) and the code wasn't working T_T

Bah!

We also learned this time to bring our most invaluable ally.... THE CHAIR (srsly, standing nonstop for 4 days in a row takes a toll)

Aside from our own booth, we had some time to walk around and check out some other cool things like the Wholesome Games, Polish Booth, or the Marble Racing Charity fundraiser, and wrap it all up with the annual post-PAX indie train party!

For those who had a chance to stop by - THANK YOU so much for saying hi!

For those who couldn't make it - hope you enjoy this look at our exhibitor experience, and maybe we'll see you at the next one ;)

P.S. Our favorite "ha-ha!" bit was when we realized the game on the OTHER side of our booth was Fowl Damage, a platforming game about being an... egg. So what came first? The Birb or the Egg??

We've been selected to participate in the PAX Rising Section Ca-Caw!

Hey all, we just added support to remap controls :D

Hi Everyone!

This is Jakub, the team lead! Hope you are enjoying "Just Crow Things", we put over two years of effort into it by now. I have been going through some review and forums posts, and really enjoying reading everyone's impressions, good or bad 😄

We already made a few updates to the game based on the feedback we got, and squashed a few bugs that might soft-lock you from completing some quests. Thank you to everyone reporting on our Forums and Discord[discord.gg]!

We're a small team who is entirely self-funded and self-published, so unfortunately some things just slipped through our cracks (despite a few testing rounds). So we're still keeping eye on things, and taking ALL your feedback into consideration!

Thank you for playing, thank you for leaving us Steam reviews, as well as sharing and tweeting your cute birbs at us!

Ca-Caw!!!
