Glide'r Die by adamk33n3r
Glide down the mountain, through the forest, and into the cave to find victory! The inevitability of the ground can only be delayed by a good pilot (or at least one with a rocket).
Space to Launch/Boost. A and D to pivot up and down.

Neat little game, has a lot of potential!
And I still have a silly grin on my face, writing this. A great game that was simply fun!
I have no issues believing that the physics were a nightmare :wink: We did a physics (calculation) based game last LDJam49.
And never forget: Compo... respect
So, i have some questions: The launch cackle, there is a witch operating the cannon? The injurie in the leg is previous to the flight? He always complains about the leg, but i am certain that sometimes he fall in his head...
Jokes apart, it's a vere well done and fun game. My only suggestions are to let the space bar restart the game and to put some chiptune to play, the game is perfect for that!
Great job!
I loved the Goofy sound when you launch, the blu-blu-blubs, and the SpongeBob quote when you die. Very funny. But I do wish there was ambient sound, or a progress meter, or even just a score, or music, because it is also kinda boring inbetween those sound effects. It's also really hard to see the tiny man's tiny head.
Also, the instructions are not that readable. They don't scale to un-fullscreened and are still slightly offscreen when fullscreened, for me at least. Luckily I read them on the itch.io page before playing so it didn't matter.
Overall, I had fun! I was invested and I really wanted to win, even if it was a bit auditorily barren and I couldn't compare how well I was doing with my friend who was also playing it with me.
It's fairly polished looking but a few more features to show how well you're doing in game would be great!
Overall, well done!
