Unfortunately, I couldn’t get very far: there’s no real way to move horizontally. The wind helps, but it’s too limited, and I couldn’t find any fuel after the first NPC/volcanic island. I also encountered some UI bugs (the gauge on the right, the inventory) and moments when I went off the map on the left. I’ve included some screenshots of the errors in case they’re helpful.

That said, I really love your concept! The atmosphere, visuals, music, and UI are top-notch. The fact that you collect gear as you climb makes the game very engaging. It’s very promising, well done for the game jam, and I can’t wait to see the next updates!

PS: I like that when I try to remove the person in the hot air balloon from the inventory, I get the message “People cannot be discarded.”

A lovely game with lovely atmosphere! The gameplay loop is fun, the art is cute, the music is soothing, and I hope I'll eventually get to experience the full story! Great job :D

Beautiful game with wonderful music. I unfortunately couldn't really get far on account of the lack of agency I had when flying (no steering) and that there is a bug where the fuel use increases every time you have pressed W. To reproduce, simply spam W a few times in the beginning and from then on, fuel use will make it impossible to get far. That means even less control over where I end up as alternating between W and S as encouraged would seemingly deplete the fuel fast.

I did manage to get a feel for it, though. I landed on an island, got to experience dialogue and the upgrade system. It seems like a heartfelt narrative and I wish I could experience more of it in the jam. Alas. 


Great work, either way.
