I believe more focus on the movement system could have been better. I must say the Maps are big and there even is a kind of a flying enemy shooting pikes in third level, so congratulation a lot of work done !

I think the physics could do with some tweaking -- the yellow rings don't really seem to give much of a boost, so once you lose your forward momentum it's basically impossible to recover, it seems like. (and also sometimes I didn't need the yellow rings?) I like the idea and the aesthetic though, I think with some recalibrated physics this could be really fun.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120553,"author_name":"Ava Skoog","author_uid":"ava-skoog","epoch":1729878886,"text":"Very cool! Neat concept and nice animations on the flying squirrel, altho I think the running was bugged out for me: it looked nice and smooth sometimes, but most of the time it just seemed to be flip-flopping very quickly between frames. :(\n\nThe levels were pretty good. A few more mechanics would've been nice but it's always difficult to do a lot for a jam of course. The one thing that didn't feel so good to me was unfortunately the gliding itself which was a bit confusing. The boosters were great, but regular flight seemed to have lift to it which didn't feel that obvious, probably due to the camera. I often felt like I was descending but then I ended up reaching a platform above the one I started on anyway, which was good because it was the only way to progress, but it felt like I had done it wrong. Usually I pressed space twice and sometimes even again in flight which seemed to work better but I don't know if it was intended, or even all in my head.\n\nHope that description didn't come off as too harsh! Just difficult to explain exactly what it was. :') Overall the game really was quite nice and I enjoyed getting through the levels, especially the trickier one where you had to go under and inside all the big blocks. Giving you a pretty high score in the overall category! :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120676,"author_name":"Martynas Dargis","author_uid":"martynas-dargis","epoch":1729887762,"text":"This was pretty fun to play!
