I really enjoyed this entry. It kept making me want to go once more, to try to see another section, or better yet, find another funny sign, even though it was very difficult at times :p

I think the most important part is that you made the main mechanic of gliding feel good. :thumbsup:

I really liked this game. The steady Try and Error strategy soon led to my victory :smile: The gameplay felt smooth and the graphics were simple and sweet. For a post-game version I would add a voice-over when reading the signs, just to fill up the mood some more and introduce a real narrator :) Great entry!

This was epic. Very well done, and another masterpiece by Madbook. The narrator post person is one of the pretty great reasons why I finished this game, and it feels like a showdown between two opposing forces or something. Like I wanted to prove my worth and being victorious in this incredibly smooth game. Also, the game felt like I was making the mistakes, and not the game itself. It's pretty rare, but I really enjoy that aspect. A few of Madbook's itch games feels similar in a way in this regard. The glide was smooth and everything felt nice.

The game is a ton of fun and I wanted to keep trying to beat my personal best. The one thing that surprised me, even after reading the sign, is that I splat into the ground after doing a tiny jump

Really awesome game, and definitely a lot of potential to be a great mobile game. The controls were not only spot on but the small extras like permanent graves and a best jump indicator really made me try again and again.

Found your Devlog :D

Really nice game :) Feels just good. Sometimes it's quiet challenging.
I think the difficulty ramp could be a little bit more forgiving xD
But maybe I'm just not good at flying..

At least I had a lot of fun! xD

Pretty fun! I like that the controls have a bit of a learning curve to them; it takes a while to get used to, but they're able to be picked up pretty easily. My only real gripe is that I'm not too sure if the levels should be split up into individual screens without any scrolling between them; it's not too often but there were one or two instances of a cheap death because of this. Despite that, however, this was a solid entry!

OMG the impact is killing me :smile: Great job! I actually like the idea to have it in different screens, kinda feels "retro".

Very good entry. Polished, well designed. There are some clear flaws, e.g. it's annoying having to redo the entire game from the beginning each time you die, but moving level to level and slowly becoming better at the game is rewarding, so I don't have a good suggestion for this problem. Fun game, good art, good music, well done.

Really cool submission! I had fun playing it and enjoyed the learning curve for the glide/parachute mechanic. Congrats!

Loved this game fr, the gameplay is so simples but at the same time so addicting. And it kinda have that speedrunning feeling, so many optimizations in some sections. Incredible game!

I didn't manage to get to the end but it was pretty fun :)
What impresses me the most is the air control, it's really hard to get this sort of tricky controls right, and here it's just perfect: tight enough to not be frustrating, but weird enough to give some challenge.

The audio and graphics are decent.
The pannels are really funny.
The game is maybe a bit too hard, it requires (at least for me) trials and error, you could perhaps have made several levels to smooth the difficulty curve.

i wish i'd found this earlier! this is really good and a REALLY good concept too. i'm terrible at it, but it was extremely fun nonetheless, and the graphics and audio were all high-quality. deserves more ratings, i'm going to try to get people to notice this :)
