Really a nice simple and effective flyer-racer, kinda reminded me of old PilotWings

The getting a different hair each time you died was a fantastic touch

Fun and simple. I just enjoyed the flying and dodging, and I really liked that you changed into someone else whenever you died/got hit. I didn't think the white balls were obstacles at first so I tried to fly into them xD but overall this was a good entry and the elevator music made the game feel more chill. Nice!

The images you used in this game were awesome. It was beautiful. The music was a perfect fit for the feel of your game. I really felt like I was flying. The controller you implemented felt really good for making me believe I was flying. I just wish the background parallaxed or scrolled something to make me feel like there was more movement. That and some particle effects to create a wind trail behind the avatar would have been awesome. Also that opening menu was cool liked how the character died to take you into the game, nice touch! Great Job, good game!

it had some perspective issue. i could not get it that balls will hit us or i had still time for run away.

I'm the type who doesn't read description, so I thought the white sphere was collectable at first.

Some suggestions if I may.

  • It would be good to have visual cue that tells you that the white spheres are harmful, like adding some spike or make it red.
  • Also, it kinda blend with the background, so having some sort of contrast would be nice.
  • The character is blocking too much of the view, especially in the direction where the danger is coming from. Maybe could try changing the camera angle, like how modern third person shooter games do these days.
  • It's a bit different to tell the movement of the spheres. Maybe could add a trail renderer, so that the flow can be visualised.
