This is a gorgeous little demo. It's got some problems, but know going into my critique that it comes from love of this little project, and a desire to see it grow into something incredible.
- I couldn't figure out how to dock to the castle island. I docked to the balloon-tree island fine, but the castle island was giving me trouble.
- The story in the cutscenes was undercut by how bland the presentation is. I didn't feel the sense of loneliness and dread I think you were going for, when all I'm seeing is white text on a black background in a casual font.
- It took me a minute to figure out that the handle with the bigger ring was the "centre" one to line up turning with, but I managed it.
- A menu would have been nice, some way to quit the game without having to alt-tab out.
But enough of that - I'm in LOVE with airship games, and this one is no exception! I adore how you did the clouds, in particular - I actually felt like I was flying through clouds! And adding a sound effect for when the ship hits the water was an unexpected touch! Five stars, well done! :)
I'd appreciate it if you could find the time to check out my own entry, The Chronicles of Mega-Mart! It doesn't have airships in it, but it DOES have grand lakes to cross! :)
