Such a funny game! The control of the kite was a "good weird", each time a had to shoot my kite was going to fast to the right ;-) Great entry, the mechanics are awesome and we feel the pain of Benjamin when he gets electrocuted :-D

I don't think that is how kites work and I'm having some issues about little Benjamin calling me daddy. Other than that I absolutely love the game. You nailed the theming.

I actually tried making realistic kites in the beginning but it wasn't a lot of fun, so I went with the rule of cool.

You nailed the theme with this one, and the game is fun to play. Also impressive rope physics.

I truly enjoyed it. I really liked the son's comments.

The difficulty in controlling the kite and Benjamin's recklessness in facing the lightning with just that kite really makes me smile.

Thanks for a fun game!

This was fantastic. The best part is the historical accuracy. the developer has gone out of their way to research every detail of old Ben's life to make this condensed representation of a forgotten moment in american history. This not just a game, it is a monument.

Exactly, when this game goes global I will quote you in the high quality trailer I will definitely make.
