  1. Float. If only it was that simple. Controls are just a bit weird...

  3. Not much traction in the air eh? I get that you need to line up your "jumps".
    But not being able to see where your going makes it a "die & remember" game.
    Then things get too hard in the time limit areas for me to continue.

  6. I found designs too raw and commands too frustrating for my liking. I quit.

  7. I'm with Riiick. This was enjoyable and I liked the level of challenge. Same designer as the excellent Temple of the Four Serpents game.

  8. Finished! (true ending)
    I really liked the controls an how momentum was a key part of moving in the wind and clouds. It took a neat concept and was (I felt) the perfect length; long enough to become difficult gradually but not long enough to ever get boring. I was surprised with how challenging some of the levels got!

  9. Another fun one by Ferociter! Not as tricky as Temple of the Four Serpents, but there were tough parts. Liked the controls too, and the music/ambient was good. :-D

  10. I liked this one! The visuals and atmosphere were nice, and the gameplay was fun, too. Rather frustrating sometimes to be fair, but not frustrating enough to quit. However, I found both endings to be somewhat disappointing tbh. Overall I still really enjoyed it though! Thanks for sharing, Bart!

  11. Lot's of comments seem to be addressing the bad controls and how it was rage inducing, but I think the controls to this masterpiece were perfectly fit. The game plays like an ice platformer just without the platforms. And I think that makes perfect sense as there's no fiction if you're flying around the sky. The game was great, the mechanics were implemented and explained perfectly, everything felt natural, and the challenge ranked up steadily. The only down side is getting to the true ending is a little confusing and there isn't much on the internet about it.

  12. Why does everyone hate this! I’m currently speedrunning this and it’s one of my favourite online games so far. The controls can be awkward sometimes, but if you’re actually gonna commit, not just try it for 5 seconds, you get used to it, and start enjoying it.
