Wow, I really liked it! Its like a misxture of flappy bird and mario with cool wind mechanics. It took some time for me to understand that I shouldn't press arrows on last level)

I thought the level design was great. You made so much out of it despite a few core mechanics. It was a difficult, sometimes frustrating (but in a good way) experience and I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you :)

nice aesthetics, cool art style! the wind balance is pretty challenging

I liked the weather changing mechanic! The ladybug was pretty cute, too. I wish there was more of a chance to react to the weather changes, like get a little warning half-a-second before.

Took me a while to see the wind was changing, but after a while it became second nature. Cute sprites and evry addictive! Once it started getting hard, got Jump King vibes haha

Nice entry that fits the theme very well!

Played this on Mac! Worked really well, took me a moment to get the hang of the mechanics, but once I figured it out I had a blast trying to complete the levels! Excellent game and very well executed :)

Team should be proud!

Gah! after getting blown by the storm multiple times, finally Joana could get home!

Nice game and I like how the theme is implemented.

Great game! loved the use of the wind mechanics and the art was cute, did get pretty hard later on but overall great job!

It's getting hard, but it's a great use of the wind to the mechanic!

Holy shit this last section was so excruciatingly hard! It took time to get used to the wind, but once I did it was fun!

I love this retro game, simple as jumping from one leave to another, but with the amazing mechanic of wind direction, that gives so much depth. I suck at keyboard platformers so really appreciate it was compatible with a controller! Great job!! :)

Really nice use of the wind as a gameplay mechanic! it was getting really hard int the 2nd biome with the sideways winds! great work!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game. I liked the concept of platforming taking wind into consideration. Was fun timing the jumps and pushing back against the wind to barely manage staying on a small platform. But found it very difficult overall given my poor platforming skills. The aesthetic, music and game feel is cool. Well done!

Really like the simplistic and colorful vibe on this one!

I am not a big fan of jumping games, but I liked the storm direction mechanic!

So impressed at how expressive you made the character with so few pixels! I also liked how you were able to take what felt like a simple mechanic and keep finding new ways to use it.

I really enjoyed this one!

Submitted(+1)

I really like this! It was fun, and I found it very difficult. Having to time the jumps with the wind is neat, I don't know if I've seen it before. The pixel art style and music worked really well and felt very cohesive with each other and the gameplay.

I love how the game challenged me! I almost wanted to jump into the game, pick up the ladybug, and deliver her to her children :)
