Very nice idea, very peaceful. I would like more feedback on when I successfully make it through a ring but regardless, this is a really good entry!

yeeaay, welcome to the maple club :D It took me a second to understand the controls, really nice vibe and enjoyed the sfx a lot too, especially when diving down
This is one of the more interesting premises, had no idea Maple Seeds worked like that! Experience wise, it's pretty cozy, I had a huge skill issue getting used to the tuck-flare controls, but once I figured you generally want to stay up, then go down for the rings, it became a lot easier...
Ahhhh, I loved the general movement of how it moves, but I wonder if I would have liked to explore around and venture as a maple seed, rather than go for rings... It would have been a cool experience, just seeing the different bits of the environment. From what you have, the scenery looks pretty great!
From now on, whenever a game's 3d, I just launch on Chrome instead of Firefox, I wonder why it just runs better... Overall, great work!
Oh yes!! this game reminds me of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 levels where you fly Fluzzard, thanks for bringing back these memories. Good job.
I liked how it felt to control the maple seed a lot! Once I understood how to gain height, it was a satisfying back and forth of ascending and descending which made for a pretty addictive gameplay loop! The vibes were also very chill and cozy, and it was a very relaxing game to play. Well done!!
Its a pretty entertaining game, but I don't think there's quite enough to do to justify the length of the map. I found I was able to pretty much gain infinite height by just tucking and flaring.
This is my first game too! Having to build up speed by going downward so that you can go up is really cool. The game is very chill and relaxing.
Its genuienly fun to play. i though i couldnt fly upwards but i could by building spin speed.
Not sure why but the game was very laggy when I played, it was going at 1 fps basically - cause of that i unfortunately didn't get through the gameUnsure about how the game is spin to win, but is it cause maple seed spin as they fall through the sky? I think this is just down to my lack of knowledge about maple seed okay yeah i researched, didn't know maple seed helicoptered through the air
The premise is calming and relaxing and for a first attempt at making a game, it's great! Would love to see more stuff coming from you in the future.
Very calming and atmospheric. I love the 3d art and the music. Amazing!
I love this game, it's got a really calming vibe. the low poly art is really nice and the post processing creates a sense of peace
I loved the atmosphere of this game, it creates such a beautiful little mood and I really enjoyed making my way down the mountain. Once i got down though I found it typical to get the height I needed and eventually crashed - I would've loved to see where the little maple seed ends up!
I think the gameplay itself could use some variation or something, as it felt quite repetitive after a bit. maybe hoops that do different things, or multiple choices, or insects who eat seeds that you have to avoid. Nonetheless, great game - especially for a first one!
