Very impressive! Turning with the mouse doesn't feel very much like flying/soaring to me, but I imagine it would have been really hard to dodge trees if it were more realistic.

Beautiful and very novel game. The jumping is a bit awkward - it needs a bit of reaction time adjustment (allow the player to still jump after moving a bit off an edge).
It would go well with some similarly cute music and sound effects!
I liked the way the difficulty ramped up - keeping in mind, of course, that it's a fairly easy game. (which is not a bad thing!)
I also enjoyed how the controls feel nicely "floaty". And it's always a nice change of pace to see physics bullets instead of the usual "bam you die now".
The art/animation is awesome! Platformer physics are pretty good, the jumping feels pretty nice and I only noticed a couple minor glitches. The whole "guide the robot" thing was well-executed, though at first I thought it was an enemy!
My favorite part about the game has to be the overall ambiance.
I really like the concept, but I was constantly struggling against the controls and only made it about halfway through. Excellent job for a first game, though! My first game wasn't half as ambitious, and I didn't even properly finish it.
This is a great game! Impressive in 72 hours. It's a wonder humans survived at all back then.
Love the music and art. The tech tree is well timed, but like you said in the description, Matheus is very disoriented in the beginning. Hungry on top of that.
OSX version says currently unavailable :( the screenshot looks cool!
Someone I saw playing our game got to 900 staples. Press ` to get into debug mode, and the last number in the top left is the number of staples spawned.
I also agree that research could have been improved. I've been told that we should have included research logs that would show after researching each artifact, and I think that would have been a great way to smooth out the research experience. It would also be another opportunity to add comedy :)
