This would be much nicer if there was something happening on the ground as you fly towards the next destination, like some terrain passing below you. But I guess that all requires time. :)
Yeah, not showing your bird on the minimap made the aiming a bit hard.
I also noticed a few bugs. I managed to land outside of the island. And also, after visiting an island, my health didn't drop for like 8 seconds after I left the island. I mean, it did drop, but like to 98, and then it would jump to 100 again...
I really liked the pixelated bird, though 😊
