Well we now know the airspeed velocity of a laden swallow.
(In all seriousness the flight is heavy and very momentum driven, and it felt like I was crashing into everything)
The graphics are well done, though the fireball looks like a wide carrot with this palette.
Was not expecting an ancient Greece motif in a spooky game jam.

The music stop at the middle of the first room. Else its an Interresting game ! Good gameplay :)
Very cool and it's fun to see something so different, but harkening back to the days of joust. Just as difficult to control as when I was a kid! I did have the music cut out at some point and not return, but everything else was solid!
Definitely took a second to get used to, but definitely very fun once I got started. Wish there were more opportunities to use Glide
Fun game! I thought the controls were very weird at the start, but once I got used to them I really liked them!
Amazing game! it's really fun to fly around with so much speed, i sure am glad that hitting walls doesn't damage you, i wouldn't even be able to pass the first level that way.
