Could be a little bit harder in my opinion. :)

Sweet simplistic pixel art. Perhaps the game could be more difficult but the music made it pretty relaxing to play, so 4/5 for mood :)

Like the throw back style! Overall a crisp game: well done!

Nice game, good presentation. I like the music. Kind of a stretch to fit the theme, you could have put in another button for something. I also agree it could be a little more difficult, maybe increase the speed over time like there is a faster wind, or a storm.

1005m! Really like the cute style and audio. Very relaxed game play.

Got the following error when I attempted to run on Linux x64 with OpenJDK 2.6.3. I entered the command `java -jar Aloft.jar`.

Fun game with very cool graphics and music. I do think the music is a bit loud though.

lavwa 2015-12-15 02:42

Very well done, great artwork !

691! Lots of fun to play, nice and relaxing and great music. Well done. :)

Hey guys, looks like I have a technical issue if you are running the game using the OpenJDK. Sorry for the inconvenience and I'll try to fix the issue!

Absolutely loved the pixel art and 8-bit music. The one thing that felt awkward is that when you hit a bird it doesn't fall, instead it stops moving completely! Great job anyways.

Game looks good and plays well. Nothing is unique in terms of mechanics.

tantumgames 2015-12-17 02:02

Nice graphics and music. Good job.

beetracks 2015-12-17 02:20

Soundtrack and sfx spot on, art well done and nice controls. The only downside is the lack of difficulty. There is almost no challenge.

Those poor birds! Very charming. good music. I liked it a lot

marekkpie 2015-12-17 02:49

Extremely pleasant to play. The music was the highlight.

Really nice game. It feels high-quality and finished, but simple. Great job!

krafty 2015-12-17 04:02

This game was really cute! I liked the art and the music, it was really relaxing and fun to play. Great job!

I loved the overall bright mood and NES-like tune so much! A simple but memorable game. Good job!

I got 644! I don't remember seeing the control documented anywhere. Maybe add those to the game description?
