Super cool platformer, really nice control scheme, the movement between platforms felt secure and the vertical movement felt very bennet foddy - getting over it! (totally didnt get mad when i kept missing the same platform on the second level)
The art assets are really nice and gives it a succinct feel, Also i think the first 2D game i have played made in unreal!

The Lonely WispBennet Foddy was thought about while designing the platform locations and speeds to keep the player wanting to beat the frustration.
Our artists knocked it out the park, best guys I have worked with, amazing artists. We decided to choose unreal as it had a 2d preset level set up thanks for playing and earring glad you liked it.
This is a unique way to present a message about using wind turbines to power the world but making the central character a wind turbine! It also got across the message that money is needed to build others and make your “family” complete. I felt compelled to play to get all of the money just to see the story so it was an ingenious way to make these points and it was fun to play. Also loved the art style in this very cute character contrasted against the background of which the last level backgrounds was great.
Some improvements that could be made:
- The movement was perhaps a bit too slidey? I think the floaty feeling in the air was good but I think I expected a little more weight when landing. Quite a few times I went off the side of platform which meant I had to climb the whole level again!
- I think the placement of platforms needed a little more tuning in places as some were quite difficult and perhaps using more horizontal space rather than vertical so its not as punishing if a mistake is made
Great game well done
I'm a massive fan of the personification of Gusty! We have a lot of Wind Turbines down here in Cornwall and from now on they're all called Gusty to me.
The atmosphere is also really well done going from day to night and the sound compliments this well. Also the animations for Gusty are great!
My only improvement would be to make the controls a bit more responsive, but overall this is a great submission. Good job!

Power the CoastI love the addition of story! I wanted to beat the game so much to see the ending! :)
Cute platform game, great music, great art. Mechanic-wise sometimes the jump doubled, while sometimes the glide didn't work, may be just issue of my keyboard tho :) Pretty fun!
