The story starts with a grandpa that is nearing the end of his life. On his granddaughter's birthday, he wishes to send her a bday card, however, he had grown too weak. There's only one thing within his ability, and that's to turn the birthday card into a paper airplane and hope it reaches his granddaughter.

The story, visuals and music make this game feel very sentinmental, the song didn't loop if you fail so it ended up being silent and when I reached the end I went "dang". Nice job!
huh that's weird... it should've looped regardless if you failed or not... that aside, thanks a lot for trying the game out! Thanks for the feedback as well, I'll try to dig more into this audio bug and fix it in the next update
quite cute, didn’t finish because at about 60% it’s super frustrating when your plane hits top of the level and then nose dives down.
cool story and concept though!
Ah, sorry to hear you couldn't make it to the ending scene. I'm glad you enjoyed the story though! Thanks for playing :)
What a plot twist... Emma looking cute at the end
she sure looks very happy at the end there :)
Oh man. First off, I love the lineless style you chose and the slight tweened animations. I REALLY Like the story, the suddenness yet subtleness of ending especially. Something something spending such a long time so far apart from someone close to you that you never realize that tragedy struck them because the only time you try to contact them is when tragedy is about to strike you. Or something. I'm not a poet.
Thanks a lot! I don't often create games with stories, so I'm very glad that you enjoyed the story here :) And I get 100% what you're saying! We're all trapped into our own small worlds, to the point that we often forget other worlds around us are still moving. It's kinda sad bc we don't want to be forgotten after our deaths, but we end up forgetting someone else in the process. That is life...
very cool sound effects
thanks! Glad you liked the sounds
are you okay?
yeah I'm okay… thanks for asking :)
It's pretty amazing that you made this all in 2 days solo, its really polished and the story was amazing! not gonna lie the ending did make me feel a bit emotional lol
Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed it :D
Audio was really really loud! But a very pretty and polished game, good job :)
I've lowered down the audio, thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it :)
Absolutely fantastic game. The opening cut scene was very impressive and the gameplay and implementation of the themes was executed well.
