Wow really fun, love the graphic style

I played a similar game as a little boy on an old phone. Thank you for returning to my childhood. The gameplay is clear, the graphics are nice and the sound of the wind gives the right feeling. Good entry.

Reminds me a lot of the old N64 game "Pilot Wings", that's a good things as I loved that game. Simply mechanic and easy to understand. Great graphics. Slightly dizzying for me but not hold that against you. Very nice entry!

I love the character art. It's a fun play. Good ramping on difficulty too.

Nice game, easy to control but not so easy to play, exactly how it supposed to be :D I had 700 points at the end.

Remind me an old phone game called "Sky Diver", nostalgia ! Why do I wish to see the guy "touch" the ground ..? Nicely executed, missing an audio theme though

Love the art style. Feels almost like cheating to get reset however.

rhewid 2022-04-04 19:29

Amazing! Made me a little bit dizzy, loved the artstyle. Sweet spot on the increase of fallspeed. Nice execution!

When I saw the print, I first thought that someone had made a battle royale!

The art is impeccable, and the theme was creatively fitted.

The use of wind sounds to simulate the movements was pretty clever.

Congratulations!

since we're posting scores

starts off way too slow for me to want to play more than once. cool game though!

julienlussiez 2022-04-04 20:48

I like the idea and the graphics. It was fun and immersive. I played few times to beat my high score, well done!

a333 2022-04-04 20:55

oh my god. I only read the description after I tried to land. Boy that bonk was unexpected. After that I enjoyed this little chilling experience by all my heart.

Cool art style and nice game!

mlho7 2022-04-04 23:35

Great entry, very addictive, really good job.

skytimer.png Tight controls and cool graphics that bring back fond memories of Pilot Wings on Mode 7. Gorgeous popping colors. Love the clouds. Thanks for the game!

grumpy-gecko 2022-04-05 04:06

Loved the sound effects and graphics, a relaxing game to play!

alekm 2022-04-05 04:16

Very Clever and fun Idea. Just wish it had a bit more variation

kongo 2022-04-05 09:14

Reminds me a game i played on my phone when i was young. A well-made engaging game. Good job! :)

mnikn 2022-04-06 05:49

The idea is simple but funny, I love the art style of this game, and the audio of the game is awesome, great piece of work!

adamcyounis 2022-04-06 05:50

Great job! I appreciate so many of the little design details you added to this game. It's such a simple interaction but had a lot of replay value, and scales difficulty in a way that feels completely fair. Sound design was top-notch. Graphics were beautiful (especially the pixelated character). Overall, a really special entry. Congrats!

Top score: 760

wlqwos 2022-04-06 19:44

Nicely designed and well executed game: controls behave as expected and difficulty is just on point. Visually and in terms of sound the game is pleasing. I guess the only thing I missed is a simple soundtrack.

holyblackcat 2022-04-06 21:26

The wind sound getting louder and louder was a nice detail! Got a score of 700. :)

sofimei 2022-04-06 22:05

One of my favorites so far!! The overall experience is very tight and polished, nothing unnecessary, everything serves the theme and vibe. Super cool take on the theme. I really like the character animation. The bar for hitting targets being right on the player character is nice, good UX choice so that no one has to look at the top or side of the screen when aim is so important.

LOVE the warp effect, first time i saw it I was really surprised in the best way! I gotta ask how you achieved that XD Great game!

ollieoa 2022-04-07 03:55

This is fantastic, currently and genuinely my favourite entry I have played so far. The artistic style is really cohesive and it was a really smart choice to blend the 3D environment with filtered 2D pixel art

The polish with the wind speed and the clouds is such a good touch that brings the whole product together. You should be very proud of this effort!

meep 2022-04-07 17:27

Really fun entry :D I liked the choice of showing the next target as it became less of a reaction game and more involved quick planning on whether it's best to grab the next going forwards or backwards.

Thanks for your submission, it's great that you managed to achieve the core loop in the 72 hrs! I liked the mix of pixel art character with a very good animation and the 3d environment. The sfx also was enjoyable and helped to make me feel I was falling fast!

leiv-erik 2022-04-07 19:55

Very cool game!

Good job on the controlls and the fact that you can see the next circle and it stays when you teleport to the top. makes it feel like its under your controll the entire time.

It did seem like i sometimes should have hit a circle but didnt, especially when it was going very fast, might just be something graphical making it seem like im going through it though.

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449912089

Pilotwings! Nice arcade action, controls felt smooth and consistent.

shawn-moore 2022-04-10 03:06

This game made me really happy, reminiscing of playing SNES PilotWings as a kid. You absolutely nailed the combination of nostalgia, adding a slick modern take on it, and making it very relevant for the theme. Thank you for your game :heart:

pious 2022-04-10 03:57

Great entry! The character controller is great and the movement feels fantastic especially once you get used to it for the easier part in the beginning. The visuals were superb and the audio is pretty good to go along with it. I'm giving humor points literally for the fact the dude sounds like a villager when he splats. I also heard Adam C Younis's analysis on this entry and thought it was genius to make timescale increasing the way you ramp up difficulty rather than speed of the fall so that the control speed was persistent.

Overall good job!

noiyy 2022-04-14 09:16

Really like the wind sound & character controls. Good game, enjoyed it, didn't notice any shortcomings, good job! :smile: I got 700 score.
