Birds flying upside down, I get shot all over, chaos and much fun! I really love how smooooth the game feels!
It'd be really cool if you could control the birds with the mouse as I found it very hard in the start to use the keyboard.
Very nice game!
A nice challenging game to play that has nice graphics and good gameplay mechanics.
But, as above stated, it is also quite challenging to control the birds with keyboard controls, hopefully this can be fixed in the future. Good job!
HTML version doesn't seem to exist at the link provided.
@jason-kennedy Yeah I had to remove it because it was completely broken. I just updated the Mac and Windows builds so hopefully you're not on Linux :P
Looks great! As others mentioned, even though the controls are smooth it would probably be better, if you could use your mouse or even a controller :]
The inclusion of the "Zen Mode" is a very nice touch, especially to get the hang of the controls and practice flying without lasers everywhere. Keyboard controls felt too clunky though, as others have stated
Did notice what appeared to be lasers blasting through rocks, not sure if that was a graphical glitch or if they were actually killing my birds.
@blackatlas - yup I am Linux
Beautiful game. Once you get used to the controls it's rather easy. But it's a nice experience to play it.
Great graphics! I felt like the difficulty curve was very exponential and made it really difficult at times.
Really cool concept. Just dodging and weaving through the cliffs in Zen mode was really fun. Graphics are really great too. Well done!
Nicely executed!
The game idea is okay and the graphics is really good. The follow camera often makes it really difficult to see what is happening. And I would really have liked some music and/or some sound effects.
I really like the atmosphere and feeling of flying. A bit hard to master the controls, but that's part of the fun :)
Very satisfying to play. The flight controls feel great and the low poly visuals are pleasing to look at. Great job.
Fun game! The controls could be a bit better, maybe adding a left/right option(q/e).
Plays and feels so nicely!
Starts out super relaxing and all of the sudden you get shot at =O
Great graphics, hard to control birds. Nice game
If Fugl had more birds and guns, The zen mode is really good, i'd love to see that expanded!
Nice game. Very relaxing (zen mode) With music would be even better. Pretty graphics! Good job!
The game's really beautiful and I love the idea. I found the steering very unintuitive though. It feels like the angle of the bird should affect its steering directly, not pressing up/down after changing angle. I wish I had more reason to fly low among the rocks, at the moment I can just win flying over everything. Also, since all game controls are on keyboard, having to use mouse to restart is irritating. Well done on a nice game.
I love the environment, it got me wondering: what's in these rocks that is so well protected? I couldn't get the hang of the controls though. Just when I thought, okay, left is up, right is down, I'd turn directions and it'd be something else. I wish each key had one consistent direction or movement. It was also hard to tell just how close projectiles were to the birds. I think it'd be cool if the camera was closer to the flock, as if among them. Also, there could be some birds chilling by the water, and if you flew close enough they'd join the flock/ replenish lives.
