The art is stylish, the physics feel smooth and satisfying, and the level design is solid. The idea of using a paper plane to form loops is both clever and original. Awesome work!


The music also makes everything so cozy and relaxing.

Nice game! It felt original but still easy to get the hang of. Perfect length for a jam submission too!

A really cute game! One thing is that I thought papers were like a collectible (for bragging rights), but they seemed to just give boost. The other problem is that sometimes they didn't spawn after switching levels, only after death. Still, a great submission to the jam!

Really fun

Really cute art! I find it a little bit challenging but that might be a skill issue on my part. Would appreciate if you would try our game https://to-team.itch.io/what-kills-you-makes-you-stronger

lovely art and music!

The paper airplane is cute, especially the dotted line it leaves behind, which is very handy for looping around checkpoints.

I would just recommend adding a way to adjust the game volume with a settings menu :)

Really great game and art! Loved the controls - the fell very responsive!

Really cool take on the "looping around something to do something" genre. Having it be the way to create checkpoints was a really nice touch combined with the physics of flying.

as feedback maybe the checkpoint snapping is a little too disorienting but its honestly not a big deal and it does not detract at all. The game is very polished, sounds nice, plays well, and yeah is a just an all around good time.

The physics were so satisfying! There was a point in the game were the was a paper piece after a flag and i got to do a double loop and I was like OOOOoO, the music and sound effects are really cute i love it!

A simple but fun game

A simple but fun game. The music is chill and fits the slower pace of the game.
