Interesting concept. It was difficult to get used to it, but still fun.

Cool take on the theme. Felt awkwardly paced, using 'D' for a bit of time felt like you're almost always dying and using 'S' made it feel slower than possibly intended. Overall pretty fun though ^^

Tried this one out because of the cute character.

Struggled quite a bit with the controls, but it did feel good when I could get a good run/ fly going!

I liked this game a lot! The music and the feeling of coasting down is relaxing, but it's also tense when trying to land on a drone or dodge obstacles. It's funny when you crash and roll down the mountain too.

Interesting idea, I liked the design of the assets and the gameplay is fun.

Good job.

I ended up playing it way longer then I usually do in this type of games. The feel of falling is great, the drone minigames are fun, music is awesome. And these cliffs just so terrible, I hate them, arrr! If you polish the visuals, it could become a nice mobile game. Congrats!

Took me a while to figure out what I have to do because everything happened too fast for me but managed to figure it out. Fun game!

Cool game, enjoyed trying for a new high score. Reminded me of old flash games in good way.

This game felt really nice to play. Lining up your gliding arcs so you could land on a drone while dodging an obstacle was always satisfying. The audio in this game is especially good. The way the drone sound effects seem to match the key of the background music is great, and the whoosh sound of the glider when tilted into the wind was a wonderful detail.

The really tight controls made this game a blast to play ! I also enjoyed the original mechanic of having to defuse a flying drone to recharge your energy ; very inventive entry !

Strengths : - Cool 3D graphics and homemade audio - Tight gameplay and fun experience - Fun death animation

Possible improvements : - Getting the hang of hacking drones is difficult at first

Great job !

The gliding mechanic felt really smooth and intuitive, it took me a few attempts to realize that I needed to catch the drones to get power, but after I figured out what to do I think I got quite a high score

Took me a while to get used to the controls but then it was pretty fun!

The background image fit the setting but I almost found it distracting that it didn't move. If you could get some layers and slide them around to make a parallax effect, it would look amazing!

Nice game. The gliding feels good, sound and graphics are well done too. One criticism is that hacking is not explained but totally understandable for a jam game. Well done.

The way Fred hits the ground makes me laugh! I love the design of the enemies and the drones! It has a straightforward concept (except for the hacking being too quick to understand) and I feel in control! One thing I wish would be to have the camera zoomed out a bit more because some things catch me by surprise but either way, this is a good game! I got a score of 198. Excellent job!
