That's great!)

Gorgeous game! fun to play, and gave a chuckle or too, although i somehow flipped upside down and got stuck in a block and that pretty much ended things.

Good work.

I usually write the criticism of the game here and have some good to say before, but this time the criticism is not of the game, but more of the game engine and the values of control in it.
As all platformers on Unity, this game have really clunky controls. Most of the time I feel that the difficulty of the game came not from the design but from bad controls. I feel that I need just a tad bit more force in my jump, a tad less gravity, a tad less speed as a plane and a tad more friction with the chute (parachute that is).

Also one hit kill is... unexpected. I did not think that this will be a precision platformer. This is again because of the controls.

But good visuals, good animations, good effects and the game is playable! If not for controls...

Very nice game. I really like the juice, the music and the super-cute animations. Controls are not as precise as they could have been. (probably check unity's input gravity setting for this).

Very well executed for a 48h jam!

norseware 2016-04-17 19:59

Wow. Good controls, nice art/animation, a brilliant take on shapeshifting... Overall, great work. You'll do well! :)

qikcik 2016-04-17 20:07

Nice :D

healogik 2016-04-17 21:49

Great ideas, but the airplane mode is sooooooo bugged >~< I got stuck two times in a wall and I can't control it (maybe a lack of skill from me ?), Music and pixelart are great !

2016-04-17 22:11

Really cute and really nice!

premadegames 2016-04-18 00:01

I really like it!

pianoman373 2016-04-18 04:57

Man.... this is such an awesome entry.... One of the best I've played actually.

One of those games that makes you check twice to make sure it is in fact a compo...

tharky 2016-04-18 13:46

Couldn't even believe this was made in 48 hours. Wow. Well done sir. Had so much fun with the levels, made it to the end. 4.8/5

nervous-composers 2016-04-18 17:15

Great game! Really well done.
Had some problems with the aeroplane mode though, kinda hard to control.

unnamed1334 2016-04-18 20:35

Nice game and good graphics. I would have liked it if the airplane mode was more useful. It never seemed to have a good use due to the sensitive controls and the gliding mode did the same job in most cases.

2016-04-18 22:26

The game looks awesome, and plays very well. Great job!

hyoga-3d 2016-04-18 23:18

lala lalala lala lalala... This is me singing the game theme :D very good music, the gameplay is great too, very simple yet challenging, well done.

thomas-yau 2016-04-18 23:53

I REALLY like the look of this game- it's beautifully animated and the art style is great! The music is also pretty darn good.

thecain 2016-04-19 00:58

Should have done humor voting.

lumscum 2016-04-19 03:27

Aesthetically, this game is absolutely beautiful! The gameplay was really well done and polished as well. I had a really good time with this one!

lukezaz 2016-04-19 06:34

Short and simple, but enjoyable! Given the secret signs, I'm fairly certain you're aware, but I found out you could fly anywhere with just the arrow keys if you mashed 2 and 3 repeatedly, and after a while of trying was able to use this to escape the map in one of the levels.

tgrehawi 2016-04-19 21:10

Love the aesthetic! My only criticism is difficulty curve; the levels get a little too hard a little too fast; a really quick fix would be to add checkpoints as dying later in a longer level can be very frustrating. Other than that, great job!

geckoo1337 2016-04-19 22:19

Great mood and cute aesthetic - a good entry. However I am stuck with controls that seem to me really weird. Overall, I like this project. Well done ++

saiodin 2016-04-19 22:19

Amazing :)! Cute graphics, very enjoyable music and the idea in general is very cool. The controls felt a bit too floaty for my taste tho.

blinry 2016-04-19 22:22

Whew, this is nice! I think the letter box animations are absolutely adorable! <3 You don't have any reason to be so self-critical in the game! Graphics, sound effects, music, level design is all very awesomely done! Found the plane form a little hard to control. Plain 5/5 in each category, never did this before. Thanks for making this! :)

captainpilot 2016-04-19 22:35

Great little game, the platforming is a little too precise but otherwise good

sojabird 2016-04-19 23:19

Stunning art!

ken-ichi 2016-04-19 23:34

Nice game! :)

ghust1995 2016-04-20 00:30

Very nice pixel art and a lot of content for a jam =)

dsnunes 2016-04-20 01:57

so much fun, I loved it

neilcorre2k6 2016-04-20 07:31

Wow! :D That's was fun! :D Love the graphics and the gameplay :D

pirate_shell 2016-04-20 08:01

I really enjoyed the pixel graphics and the flare the lighting added(although I am usually not a fan of smooth lighting with pixels, it worked here). I also like the music, it was suitably jolly. The flavour text was also quite amusing, especially with the little touches it had such as acknowledging the fact you can cheese that first airplane section with the parachute form. What this game lacked is some polish. I think the airplane controlled terribly, but then again that could just be me being bad at games/not getting it. It was a touch buggy as well, but nothing gamebreaking, at least for me. Overall, a great entry to LD 35!

kestrelgames 2016-04-21 04:37

seriously, 48h?! unbelievable! I had just assumed this was a jam entry from the screenshots alone. great lighting, love the paper particles, excellent (and yes why no humour to vote on?)

jollyserpent 2016-04-21 06:54

Loved it! Fun little platformer. I wonder if you can somehow reach the text pads that are out of level bounds...

mrnannings 2016-04-21 07:30

Very good game. This is one of the best i played. Graphics are top.

reckhou 2016-04-21 09:07

Solid gameplay, carefully polished, the only issue is some level becomes a little bit too long. Anyway, well done! 5/5

weeping-rupee 2016-04-22 00:19

-This game would be lovely with a controller

- LOVE the meta-humor and how self aware it is (genuinely laughed when I read "or you could just use the parachute I guess)

- Very smart thematic choices with your character design



I could point out how hard the paper air plane is to use as a con but I assume you're already aware of this as you referenced it directly in the game, haha.


Nice work!

designernap 2016-04-22 15:09

I have been a fan of your stuff since Slam Jam Bakery and you never cease to impress. Always with the polish, great audio and fun core gameplay. Another great entry. well done!

ithildin 2016-04-22 23:41

The airplane is really hard to control, but the game concept itself is great, it reminded me a bit of Kirby :D

Graphics and music are beautiful. It's amazing the level of polish you achieved in 48h. Great job!

paulgami 2016-04-23 11:46

Love the style and the effects. The mechanic (and the flavour text) really reminds of Paper Mario. A lot of content and polish for just two days.

phocker 2016-04-24 21:56

very good entry; third level was too hard for me; where is the source?

thegoofromspace 2016-04-25 04:41

WOW. Straight fives across the board.

Seriously: my only real complaint is that it was possible to fall forever, and you have the restart key for that. And yeah, I guess the plane form was kinda useless, but at least you threw a lampshade on that.

Best one I've played so far this LD. WOW. Nice work.

rock-eaters 2016-04-29 20:59

Cute game ! Nice level design ! :)

SophieExMachina 2016-04-30 13:40

Lovely game! The art style was amazing in my opinion. I also loved the notes in the levels. It was like a mixture of developers' notes and tutorial notes. The airplane mode was extremely difficult to control and seemed a bit pointless to me, but the overall gameplay was nice.

I also uploaded a video of your game on YouTube.

knason 2016-05-02 18:23

Awesome! Really great job! I had a hard time maneuvering the plane :)

Amazing game, very beautiful graphics. One of the best game of this ludum dare. Congratulations to the team

lereveur 2016-05-08 14:28

Great game ! I like the mood, the music, the humour, the well-think little puzzles, it was fun to play, well done !

avinashd 2016-05-08 19:56

Difficult, but rewarding. Very charming use of the lighting effect (bloom?). I don't know how I feel about the slippery controls, especially given that the player is made of paper and not slime or anying.

Bonus points for a 12MB Unity game! I've abused my SSD so much downloading 200MB sidescrollers that I really appreciate the small download size!

scorched 2016-05-08 20:53

Plane mode could be easier to control...
Can't say anything bad about other things ;-)
Well done!

brainslugs83 2016-05-08 22:06

The level difficulty had a really steep curve. I would tone that down a bit, and reserve the difficult parts for bonus areas / late in game stuff. Taking time limitations into account it's a very solid entry. Though, I'm a little sad that there was no fullscreen / gamepad support (doesn't unity give you those things for "free"? -- like effort wise, I mean...).

lkr 2016-05-09 16:17

Love the pixel art and audio, and fun gameplay to on top :)
I wish the controls were a bit tighter, but that's just a minor gripe for such a great compo entry!

emmelineprufrock 2016-05-09 23:56

Really lovely. I had a hard time with the mechanics (well, specifically the paper airplane) but the particle effects, design and general cuteness of everything made me want to keep trying just so I could see a little bit more. Great work.
