What a wonderfully simple and relaxing experience. This is something I would honestly like to see more of.  I could see this being a nice low-pressure game for mobile. Very well done

Good little game. Congrats!

Lots of fun! Enjoyed the well thought out upgrade system, and the level was pretty well designed. Reminds me alot of the good parts of early iOS platformers like Doodle Jump. Took me back to 2013 lol. Nice art! Minor nitpick: I'd reduce the "gravity" somewhat but also then reduce the effectiveness of the lucky wind upgrade, because in its current state it can cancel your vertical velocity completely so you basically just restart the level in terms of your falling speed (except you're farther along of course). Otherwise, great game! Genuinely enjoyed playing it quite a bit.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it I was definitely going for that older game feel with something like Learn to Fly. I'll play around with the speeds implement what you said and it sounds like a good idea. Thank you for playing!

Nice game! Simple, but polished, and with balanced progression! Music track could be a little bit longer.


Nice done!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game! I will make sure to have a better soundtrack going forward. Thank you for playing!

Cool concept! The gameplay is nice, and the transitions are great, but should be way quicker since we die a lot. I like the sound effects too, but the music made me quit very early, as it is sooo repetitive.

Overall, good job.

Developer

All great points will make sure to put that in a post-game jam patch. Thank you for playing!

Very cute game. The upgrade mechanics are a very cool addition. Still found it pretty hard to beat.

Developer

That's quite fair, sadly I didn't get to QA the game before uploading it but will definitely tweak some settings post-jam to make it a bit more manageable. Thank you for playing!

Great experience! the art was pretty and I like the loop of falling, collecting, upgrading and collecting

Developer

Happy to hear you had a good time! Thank you for playing!

Neat game with good art and a nice core gameplay loop!! I only really have one criticism, which is that the camera pan feels a little slow if you're dying frequently. Also, I noticed you can't buy an upgrade if you have exactly enough points for it. Maybe used a > instead of a >= ?

Developer

Good catch, definitely will patch those issues post-jam! Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
