Wow this game is really addicting! The artstyle is neat, and the controls are great! Sound effects and music really ties everything together. Fun!

Super unique idea!! And it was executed very well, with clean graphics and a simple but fun gameplay system (thought the difficulty was a bit unforgiving at times!). Great little game, well done!!

Great game, nice graphics and sound. I liked the way you opened the topic, with a grain of humor. The only problem I noticed was that it was difficult to see in flight because of the character in front of the camera

This is legit fun! Love the controls - feels super smooth, and very satisfying to navigate.

Love the unadorned style - strategic minimalism at its best! Would have liked a little texture on the walls for some visual variety but really enjoyed it.

It felt a little tough to react in time to be able to navigate to collect the waypoints items, but the collision detection was generous enough that it never felt cheap.

Excellent output overall!

Cute game, very nice level of polish. wish there was an end screen though.

Nice game, loved the visuals and gameplay.

I felt that it was a bit too easy if you avoid the boxes and went straight to the waypoints and a bit too hard otherwise.

Hey, I played your game on stream! Here's the vod if you wanna rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/765076622

Thanks for submitting your game!

really cute graphics but the game was too easy. it might be good to add alternate paths during flight, etc. thanks for making it again.

What a funny game! Great concept with an arcade feel. I would clear the camera a bit in the fall because it's tricky to see when you have some boxes already.

Wow, I'm impressed! This is really an addictive game. I love the controls, they are so smooth and the concept about getting restarted instantly when messing up the level is great too. The game is very good at keeping you engaged. The music also fits very well. After a while I found out that the red blocks don't really hurt you, so maybe I'd suggest adding some "death traps" or player health.

Pretty nice graphics and sound! If there's one thing I'd change, it would be to make it so that when a level is unwinnable due to missing too many waypoints, it just immediately ends.

One of the most addicting Ludum Dare games I've ever played! I could see myself playing a game like this while bored on a long flight lol

Everything about this game has it as my favourite I've played so far, but it doesn't fit the theme as clearly as other games! Really good job overall

Very addicting! I found it a little difficult sometimes trying to see over the boxes you collect and I do agree that the obstacles need a bit more substance to them to make things a bit more challenging.

Other than that, the graphics and music are very charming and the game is super fun to play. Well done!

Nice simple idea that works well. Graphics and animations were great, and the transition between levels (if that's what you call it) is awesome because it fits perfectly with the gameplay and theme. The music and sounds effects also come together nicely to create a fun mood.

The only issue I encountered was that the player seems to randomly speed up sometimes when falling down the hole. That makes it really difficult to collect all of the waypoints since it happens unexpectedly. Also, if you miss 1 or 2 waypoints in the beginning, the rest of the level is lost.
