I love the idea of this world. Having the map be almost an entire small planet is fantastic. I like the exploration aspect of it. The mouse controls were a bit hard to master, but overall it's a really fun experience!

The setting was very very pretty! I liked how vibrant everything was! I had a bit of an issue where the camera would roll rather violently at times, I had to keep it to small motions. It was fun trying to find the houses, but the lack of landmarks in certain areas made overall navigation kind of difficult. I like pigeons.
I agree with the others on the camera/mouse controls - it takes a while to get used to, but after that it feels consistent. I'd also like a map, or something that gives a general idea of where a landmark might be - it's easy to get turned around. But I enjoyed it a lot! The core premise reminds me a bit of Space Taxi - a game that I was absolutely obsessed with in the late 80's. Great job!
Nice concept and art! :bird: I wish the camera was smoother.
I love the idea and the visual style is nice but I did have a few issues with controls, I struggled with finding where stuff was to be delivered and when trying to land I kept flying through and under the floor. I'd love to see this with a flatter world that loops around on itself with waypoints!
I think a pigeon flying about is great though and it's nice flying about just to sight see! The colour palette was great and flying feels decent once you get used to it. A lot done here in a short time!
