I love it, Great work.

epb9000 2013-12-16 03:29

My god that's addicting. I couldn't fly in the end, loved the turncoat "friends" that make fun of you when you die. It's like... a real life "life" simulator.

Browesome pour nous les hommes

zolmeister 2013-12-16 04:39

Man, I am really good at this game!

mcgraw 2013-12-16 05:00

That was really slick! Great work!

gravityscore 2013-12-16 08:01

Pretty cool!

ossah 2013-12-16 09:47

Was a bit confused at first but got the hang of it after a minute. Cool game! Nice art style, addictive play and nice sound.

windwalkerranger 2013-12-16 11:38

It was nice, though controls didn't feel too much effective :) I was mostly on my friends' backs but they were awesome... Until I crashed :)

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 12:34

I like the graphics! So polished! :D

gokuhd 2013-12-16 13:23

Awesome! very nice work, really. I like the graphics and concept.

kyyrma 2013-12-16 14:03

Cute graphics and a really nice sense of humor! The game was a bit slow for me for whatever reason though.

fadobo 2013-12-16 16:14

I think I just got violated :) Funny game!

mnemusyne 2013-12-16 16:21

Very funny, nice game.

kill0u 2013-12-16 16:55

Wow, thank you guys for your comments!

@windwalkerranger: well I agree that controls don't feel effective, but when used in a certain way it can give you so much speed.. ;) (well actually I think I can reach a speed my computer wouldn't let me play this game at xD)

@kyyrma: aw, sorry about that. I think I will port this game to android soon, so I may have to make a light version
for some smartphones.. I'd release it to flash too if needed.
I can still do many optimizations too, I haven't inlined many functions O_o

dudsen 2013-12-16 16:57

I really suck at flying, thats for sure :( The guys at the bottom think the same :D
A bit like tiny wings on acid ^-^

lorniebear 2013-12-16 17:06

Great game, with excellent graphics. A little too hard...

strd6 2013-12-16 17:20

The graphics are nice. I had some trouble learning how the wings worked since I stated off so far off the screen that it was difficult to figure out their effect.

Timing the bounces was a little tricky and seemed to be more luck than skill, but maybe with more play it would become easier to control.

danielvf 2013-12-16 17:41

At first I thought I needed to flap the wings by alternating up and down.

After I got over that, it was fun!

occash 2013-12-16 19:13

Very good graphics, thanks for enjoy!

tobiasnl 2013-12-16 20:55

Pretty cool, nice graphics.
The screen size was a tad too small though.
Well made entry!

bitslap 2013-12-16 21:02

4763. Cool game.

kill0u 2013-12-16 21:56

Thanks again guys :)

@TobiasNL:
I just added a 1200px wide version (against 800px for initial release); available as a different link : http://klabz.org/trytofly

croze 2013-12-16 23:10

Really great game! Reminds me of a mix of Burrito Bison and Jetpack Joyride, although I think there were too many friends too land on, I was able to just sit there and watch myself bounce for about 2000 meters

tgnass 2013-12-17 01:06

Had a fun time with it, good job!

binary_gambit 2013-12-17 01:58

fun. I liked the comments from your "friends"

ryusui 2013-12-17 07:01

Made me think a bit of Nanaca Crash. Good stuff.

I gotta say, though, the 9/11 thing (where you crash through the Twin Towers made out of coins) was kinda tasteless, though.

jaymeemak 2013-12-17 07:25

The animations are cute and polished, but I felt that it was difficult to tell when to 'fly' and when to 'dive'

dqmhose 2013-12-17 08:51

Pretty nice! Hard to control though, maybe I just suck at it. Feels so random to me, still I can't stop playing :D

fenixin 2013-12-17 13:30

Very nice game.

saintheiser 2013-12-17 13:58

Fun, but mindless.
Interesting ideas in game mechanic =)

noethis 2013-12-17 16:08

Cool idea--would've been a lot better if my avatar wasn't offscreen most the time. :) Also a bit hard to time landing on your friends sometimes (compared to something like Tiny Wings where you can anticipate the grade of the hill).

jalgames 2013-12-17 16:11

Sorry, but somehow, I doesn't seem like I can change anything in that game: if I do something, the player junps, but if I do nothing, he does, too. I think stat's kinda boring :/

havana24 2013-12-17 16:47

Fun and well executed! :)

vikingpotato 2013-12-17 16:50

It seems i am really good at this game! nice graphics, widescreen in awesome

triplevisiongames 2013-12-17 19:33

I suck at this game. Great polish and finish on it, found it a little tough to know what difference I was making to the outcome though.

random-abductions 2013-12-17 21:21

Good graphics, nice sounds, feels polished. Maybe it's a little to fast paced for me.

pixelulsar 2013-12-17 21:22

Its fun when you figure it out after a bit. I like the graphics too.

_zulli 2013-12-17 23:23

I really liked it! :D
Very addicting. I've loved the graphics and sound.The fun mood is great too. Great job :D

If you have time rate my game too! :) I would really appreciate it. :D

syawqy 2013-12-18 09:46

look solid

kunonooni 2013-12-19 02:13

I really liked it, make me chuckle. wish I could have aimed the cannon but other than that it was great!

Gnux 2013-12-20 08:58

Sweet!

ebene-eole 2013-12-20 22:50

Really fun ! :)

jacklehamster 2013-12-21 21:38

I like how your friends cheer for you and boost you.

mmickyman 2013-12-23 21:29

I can bounce a lot without anticipate the crash at first (because there is A LOT of friends) then you die and your friends trash you, ahah.

It's not a totally original idea, but it's fun and pretty well done, so good job.

gatechgrad 2013-12-25 08:16

Neat little game. Reminded me a lot of Jetpack Joyride. I wished the camera zoomed out when the character went offscreen, so I could line up the next jump.

rincewind_cz 2014-01-04 22:53

Bit confusing on the start as I was unsure how to fly.. But I figured it out.. Good simple game :-)
