oh wow, this remind me of that NES game with balloon guys or the with that big bird, i forgot the names, the same exact feel and control, but instead of constantly going down, here the kite constantly going up

Neat idea with really nice graphics. I assume Joust was an inspiration. Couldn't figure out exactly what it takes to kill the other player, though.

Fun concept, and beautiful presentation. Really breathtaking visuals and a really great 'vibe' that is both fantastic and nostalgic.

I really like the graphics. The looping for the players kinda breaks things, I'm not sure what should happen at the edge of the screen but the character and kite seem a bit off when the tr to get synced back up.

Clever idea, really like the look.

Love the retro graphics with the slight pixel "grid". Controlling the kite was unusual and fun, great interpretation of the theme! Although I couldn't quite figure out how to hurt the other kites without taking damage. AI seemed a bit weird, too. And I would have loved to have some music and sound.
