Great game. I had fun playing it!

You make the use of HTML canvas look so easy.  It keeps making network requests for assets that are already loaded. Not a big deal, but I would optimise that. There's no audio unfortunately. Wen sourcing assets its sometimes hard to get art styles to match, but this works really well together and ties in with the theme. Well done.

Good little submission to the jam, well done!
10/10 would win with W again

Very nice calm gameplay :D

If I keep mashing the W key it becomes very easy. Needs a difficulty arc.

Reasonably easy game to pick up and play.  Straightforward controls.  Not very dense obstacles allowing me to advance pretty much as long as I want.  Would love to see maybe an autoscrolling camera that I have to stay in frame of or more dense cloud cover.

This a nice game for a first Game Jam. I would have some suggestions: 

  • First thing, I hitted a cloud that had hitbox outside of it. So maybe you could make hitboxes a little smaller. Even if they are all rectangles, if you just fit them in the clouds it would be more accepteble for the player when they hit a cloud.
  • I noticed that sometimes when holding W I would fly up and then stop, but the duration was a bit random, so maybe you coud make it more like a flappy-bird such that you can't hold W but would have to press it repeatedly.
  • Or instead of flappy-birding it you could add a fuel that would refill over time. Just a number on the bottom of the screen would be enough to tell player how much is left.
  • And furthermore, instead of reffilng the fuel over time you could make some fuel pickups that would give player some fuel. This would also encourage player to make more dangerous feats.

Keep in mind that all above are just some suggestions, what you made is really nice especially considering this is your first Game Jam. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for playing the game and leaving some suggestions. I will try my best to fix the bugs and add some more improvements in the future!
