Well, I managed to win this game just by holding W almost all the time with occasional steering left and right x) it is a little bit overpowered. And without holding W it gets too hard, because the camera is too close and it is very hard to see obstacles at the right time. So yeah, controls are a little bit clunky. About the enemies, the player should lose health when hitting a bird in my opinion, the same as hitting a bee ;) because after a first biome you can’t be killed by anything, because there are no bees higher up? But, congratulations on finishing a whole game, with a beginning and a finish line :D And you managed to create three different biomes, so you can be proud of yourself, that’s a lot of diversity for a game jam entry! :D

We kept the camera above partly to encourage the player to slow down. The S key not only improves horizontal movement but also lets the player move back for a better view of obstacles. Our aim was for the player to observe the situation and use their abilities more strategically.
We might not have conveyed this well within the game. Thanks for the feedback. 👍
