Great fun! Love the upgrades, I wanted to add that aspect to my own game but ran out of time. Well done!
All ingenious is simple) A simple but addictive game. Thank you!
I admit I've never been a huge fan of these games where you try to survive while getting as far along a path as possible, sort of like a latter day evolution of flappy bird. But I will say this at least had the bonus of collecting items, dynamic obstacles, limiting height of flight like the myth and purchasing upgrades. I can say I tried to play through multiple times and got up to a score of 91, don't know how terrible that is but thats as far as I made it with two levels of durability enhancements.
I'm not sure exactly where I was supposed to get wax from, I assume from that whale/sea monster thing but I was only able to get a couple jars of wax.
I would also like to point out that the volume slider doesn't seem to work at all, and while the music is nice for the first little bit it does become a bit repetitive after a while.
The font looks cool for some letters and words, but for others I found it hard to read, especially for the credits. Though I did find it cool how the credits were placed on the walls of the menu.
Good job!
Thank you for your review, here is some clarification:
The giant sea monsters are waves, which carry candles (the source of wax).
We didn't have time to finish the volume slider, as our main laptop only revived in the last hours, and we could not implement the music before it died...
Some other people said that the music is strange, too, but it gets more interesting as you reach further (we even got a review "I upgrade my wings to make the music better.").
Another Jam Twin :-) We both (and some more others) had similar ideas. Well done!
