Hi ! Just tested your game ! I loved the graphics / mood of it, even if there is no music (which would be a great add by the way to make the game feels less repetitive) A bit bored after a while ahah, is there and end ? GG for the work :)
I have the admit the game is stunning, and is working well, i especially loved the sea storm, it was very beautifull and clearly you put your heart into your work!
However it is just too easy! I just cheesed the game by putting myself in the top left corner and got hit only once from the sea to the end, but even before that dodging was just easy! Maybe it lack of differents enemies / obstacles; or technical difficulties with the plane? I really felt like i had nothing to do
Other than that, i like the idea of the weather changes for the theme, but not only it was only a visual change, but there was also a clear pattern: new scene -> nothing -> storm -> nothing -> new scene that does not fit the theme well. Maybe break the pattern and had control problems while in storms (the transitions were top notch)
Also it might lack of a pause button, and of course music but i saw you are aware of the later!

Unfortunately my 7-zip is unable to unpack the RAR file you provided. It could be great if you could provide a ZIP file as it's a more common and supported format.

Hi! I really enjoyed your game. It was peacefull and cool. I think maybe it could more unstable with harsher meteo and some random side effects on the plane. Keep up the good work! ^^
The graphics look beautiful and there's an impressive variety of weather stages. I really liked the storm woth the thunderclouds.
But the gameplay is kinda dull, and the game doesn't become any more challenging over time. Which is unfortunate, becaule I was really excited for the said thunderclouds, thinking they are the new obstacles I need to avoid.
All in all, a really solid game, that just needs a little more work on the gameplay part.

I like the graphics, the sandstorm and thunderstorms looked nice. However the game is way to easy, it's possible to basically almost to do nothing and just fly in the middle. I feel that a lot of focus was spent of looks, engaging gameplay is missing.
Making it so you have to avoid more things than the birds would be good, for example also avoid the clouds. Another thing was if you made us pick up things, it would give the player a motivation to move around and not just stay still.

Thank you for that ZIP, it worked perfectly now! Graphics are really fantastic! The gameplay gets a bit repetitive after a while, but I enjoyed watching all those landscapes while bringing Toru home.
