As others have stated the game starts slow, but after buying a couple glide upgrades and a speed upgrade I could just float over the level and still get points and that was a fun game loop. But after trying to do the levels again the wheel would break and I didn't know why. I was never able to see the other wheel :(

I have mixed feelings on this game. It's a wonderful concept, but it really does need some help with its balancing. I do see the connection to the theme of ancient with it being 'the first wheel', but from my experience with the game, it doesn't seem like there actually is a second wheel to find. After dozens of attempts through which you feel largely helpless (partially because the game doesn't have a dedicated explanation of its controls and partly because a lot of the spawns put you in a place where you can't go more than a few meters), you can finally start to unlock the upgrades necessary for proper mobility- eventually getting to the point where you're more crashing into the terrain than actually gliding on it like intended. The aesthetic was pretty nice though, and felt like it came together well enough.

As a player of Flash classics like Duck Life I like this game, my main issue is with the money and upgrades as both the initial upgrades have a steep price and little improvement on performance. If the upgrades were more balanced I would say this is a rather great little game to have on another tab while doing something else but I will say the game is somewhat repetitive as it is.

A little bit reliant on randomness and the money progression seemed kinda slow but other than that its an enjoyable hill climber esque game
