The graphics are really lovely wow! It was reaalllyyy difficult to get the hang of it though, especially considering the wings have two parts. Even after getting the hang of it though, I only made it several branches up. It would've been much more intuitive if the wings went up automatically and it flapped down when you pressed the corresponding button for the wing.

I definitely agree that it would've been more intuitive to control that way, but part of our goal was to make an intentionally difficult to control game.
Finding the balance between what is too hard, too easy, and fun to control was a real challenge. This was the best balance I found from testing it, but I'm sure with more time and outside perspectives it could be refined further.
