The model is really nice, and as bare as it is I enjoyed my time with your game. I would add obstacles, for two reason: it's usually more fun in that type of game to have stuff to avoid, and it would help tremendously with the sensation of speed as well as depth. In this current state it's better to look at the minimap and use the model just to adjust height (but I guess you know that and that's why you added the minimap :D)

Thanks :-)
I spent way too much time tracking down problems with the original rigging and some strange behaviour when trying to tilt the bird when turning.
I was hoping to include more of these for better spacial awareness, interaction and fun:
- Adding terrain
- Adding clouds
- Tilting the bird when you turn
- Adding an indicator to the screen to show which way to turn for a gate that isn't on the radar
- Having different levels of music when you're going through different gates
- Really tidying up the animation so the swoop happens in sync with the button press and the increase in altitude happens on the down beat
- Other birds/enemies/hazards to interact with
Still, you can't do it all in a jam :-D
