Try to fly by kill0u
Press M to toggle sound ON/OFF
-----------------------------
Collect coins to protect yourself
If you fall, you will lose all your coins, or die if you had none.
Hold your up and down arrows to fly or dive.
But beware, your wings are quite limited and consume coins upon usage.
Your friends will help you. Hit them harder for a bigger boost.
-----------------------------
I chose the font wrong, "o" and "q" look exactly the same, no punctuation, etc. x_x Sorry.
I updated the game :
- You can now use space at the game over screen to try again
- I added "inline" to some functions to increase performance
All next updates will happen to a separate version (post compo).
Update 2: Added a 1200px wide version (against 800px for initial release); available as a different link.
Tips:
- Use your down arrow to hit blobs harder, your speed boost will be much bigger
- Blobs give a speed boost related to their color: green < blue < purple < orange

@windwalkerranger: well I agree that controls don't feel effective, but when used in a certain way it can give you so much speed.. ;) (well actually I think I can reach a speed my computer wouldn't let me play this game at xD)
@kyyrma: aw, sorry about that. I think I will port this game to android soon, so I may have to make a light version
for some smartphones.. I'd release it to flash too if needed.
I can still do many optimizations too, I haven't inlined many functions O_o
A bit like tiny wings on acid ^-^
Timing the bounces was a little tricky and seemed to be more luck than skill, but maybe with more play it would become easier to control.
After I got over that, it was fun!
The screen size was a tad too small though.
Well made entry!

I gotta say, though, the 9/11 thing (where you crash through the Twin Towers made out of coins) was kinda tasteless, though.
Interesting ideas in game mechanic =)
Very addicting. I've loved the graphics and sound.The fun mood is great too. Great job :D
If you have time rate my game too! :) I would really appreciate it. :D
It's not a totally original idea, but it's fun and pretty well done, so good job.
