Simply wonderful. Cool take on the game and enough fun mechanics for me to play with. I'm surprised I wasn't able to easily cheese your game. Nice work. I only would have wanted to have some sound effects, but time is limited. One of the cooler entries I've seen.

Touching any of the other ones just ended your run and it was much easier to just get enough flaps to make it across than to buy anything else.\n\nThere was also a problem with the left platform (which I assume is where you are meant to get to), I either hit an invisible wall or just flew over it and fell infinitely.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":780901,"author_name":"TentacleMax","author_uid":"tentaclemax","epoch":1649112208,"text":"I love \"the incredible machines\" type of games!

Reminds me of the Crazy Machines series I used to play as a kid, but with an additional twist of the goal of keeping the guy in the air as long as possible. I've messed with some different contraptions for a while and had a lot of fun doing so. I think if you added some pre-made levels with obstacles and specific set of items with a goal of keeping Icarus in the air given amount of time, you could create an interesting little puzzle\/strategic game out of it.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":825464,"author_name":"Week of the agents","author_uid":"week-of-the-agents","epoch":1649706040,"text":"\u0412\u0441\u0435 \u0441\u0438\u043f\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0438 \u043b\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0435\u0442, \u043d\u043e\u0440\u043c \u0438\u0433\u0440\u0430","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":835689,"author_name":"4ahizon","author_uid":"4ahizon","epoch":1650508921,"text":"I like the art in the game.
