Thank you, I enjoyed that. Beautiful dreamy atmosphere. Wonder how long you worked on this?
I’m a solo game developer myself, also got started this year. No website up yet, but plenty of blog posts queued on my hard disk. Would like to get in touch with fellow indies. Drop me an e-mail if you like!
Subscribing to your blog, hope to see more of this. Should get back to work now!

Nice job, sir. The cats’ language was quite witty and charming. It also avoided being too frustrating, and had no offensive content whatsoever–a nice touch. The ending seemed unsatisfactory; but then again, how is a game like this supposed to end?
Keep up the good work.

@Thomas – Thanks! I spent about 5 or 6 days on this game, it’s a short one
Keep me posted on your games!
@Feryl – Thanks for playing! Yeah, the ending might be a bit underwhelming; there is something in there that I wanted to touch on about the interplay between distraction&inspiration… not sure if it quite came through but I hope so

Thanks for this charming game! I’d love to translate it in french. Let me know if you’re interested.

I love how it ends, that quotation on Attention Deficit Disorder is a fine touch that makes every piece fall into place
well done.

Excellent game overall. I’m very curious what filters/effects did you use to make the graphics. I loved their retro style.

[...] Hummingbird Mind is not for the procrastination inclined. In fact it is a game about avoiding the pile of work on your desk, described as a visual novel about daydreaming and distraction. Don’t play this if you’re writing essays, thesi, or uni papers of any kind. [...]
