I wasn't sure what to expect after the first few levels, but when the electricity obstacles appeared it turned into a pretty fun and interesting challenge. I loved the general idea and thought the graphics and feel of the game were very polished. Some of the levels did feel a little same-y, but overall this was a lot of fun to play and I could see this eventually becoming an awesome game. Nice job!
Fantastic side scrolling game, music art and general game feel was good. Feel bad for all the concussions I have kite boy though.
I'm pretty sure kite boy has a concussion... But anyway, this game is fantastic! The best use of physics in a game so far. The wind effect is so cool and the lightning obstacle is really tricky.
Really beautiful pixel art! Love the atmosphere created with the sound and visuals. Swinging the boy around gave me a good laugh as well. :)
The art is gorgeous! I think my favorite bit are either the clouds or the mountains in the distance. The whole thing is beautiful, but those two pieces really tie the whole atmosphere together. Really amazing work, I love this entry!
Loved that atmosphere! Nice job
Art and music are great. Original and funny concept.
amazing game! loved the calm music and the concept of a kite flying a boy, 10/10 best game i've played so far
Loved! Great game!
The pixel art for the clouds and land and everything is gorgeous!! I just wish i could see more of it when I'm trying to traverse instead of just sky.
The art was great for a 48 hour game jam. The gameplay was simple but fun.
very relaxing, the music reminds me of avatar the last airbender, i feel like a slightly shorter rope might make it feel even better
Simple game but fun! The camera could have been a bit more to the left, did not feel like there was any oppertunity to look ahead.
Really relaxing chill game to play! Sometimes kite boy would get stuck on the walls though and the rope would get all messed up.
Simple, has a nice calm aesthetic. I feel like I want more things to fly around. Controls are smooth, and I get that they're supposed to be part of the challenge, but I find it more frustrating than fun as a challenge element. Part of it is that going forward brings you up, and I quickly loos sight of the map so my screen is empty for a lot of the game. It's a neat idea.
