Unfortunately the game isn't very interesting for playing. It's more like technocal demo scene for visual and glider controlling.
I played it on Linux using wine so it was a bit slow, if you make a Linux version I will definitely play a bit more because this tiny world just feels so... full of hope!
I am quite interested in the fluid (air) simulation you got going on in here. Is it based on a third party tool or is it all custom made? It is super funky.
Great work!
I'll upload the sources soon !
The graphics are really nice! Love the little airships and the background. The intro/outro screens set the mood quite well.
The controls feel really good (Though I flew off the screen once). Difficulty is just right. Music sounds good. Would have loved to play more levels.
It would be nice if the spawn points for the energy pickups is a bit less random. From time to time, they appear right next to a wall, making them impossible to get until they move a little.
Really nice work!
In general a very fun and good-looking little game. Nice, upbeat music too.
