Loved the atmosphere and the audio! *o*
(And it seemed to work on my Windows 8.)

Amazing! I love the controls there! Good job! Too bad I didn't stay over the weekend so I could jam too :) (Sandra loves it too)

Some colors make it really hard to see anything and it's hard to get used to the controls, fun little game nevertheless!

Fantastic! Controls are simple & good once you have the reference of the trees. (worked on Windows 8 here too)

Simple but beautiful especially the D. Kanaga soundscapes!

The music was awesome and sounds being tied to keys was cool. WAs super fun just gliding forward and turning. Hitting buildings was no fun :) I think this would be awesome if it was more open and you just flew long distances without hitting things, collecting things and listening to peaceful music. Worth exploring further!

Looks beautiful and plays pretty smoothly. I kinda wish I could soar with more birds or something.

Very cool and cinematic. Controls were a bit strange at times, but other than that the game was just really cool and beautiful.

Really great job, I liked it a lot. I think it could have been more enjoyable by providing only the Left and Right keys (the only ones I ended up using). At the beginning I got really confused by the use of the four arrow keys. Great audio and visuals. Well done:)

The atmosphere is awesome, it is almost hypnotic. Gameplay is simple but nice and it is fun to play, visuals and sound is incredible too.

Enjoyed the visuals and sountrack but didn't like hitting the buildings.

Wonderful aesthetics. I feel the camera movements were a bit jarring at times, considering the mood and subtlety of the overall experience. Same for some of the areas of densely populated roosts. All in all excellent use of the theme and a delightful canvas to explore.

I think I made an early wrong turn because for a while after I saw nothing. Control were a bit tough to get used to. Really like the mood created with sound. Original idea that worked well with the theme.

This was awesome. The music and sound made it for me. It is a beautiful game, but the fact that left and right had a different beautiful sound made me really enjoy just the act of turning. And seeing as you turn a lot in the game that was important.

The Visual design is beautiful, it meets the theme.

I wish the game left you a little bit longer in a haze of colourful nothingness before the game restarts.

I thought the building sticking was kind of cool. Flying around is relaxing and beautiful, though I'd have liked camera control.
Is there an ending to this one?

Very beautiful day dream ambience. I found the controls a bit stiff, but adapted quickly enough. I want more non-combat flight games!

Very moody, artsy experience, quite fitting of the theme, yet hardly a game. The sound design is truly brilliant, and the best part of 'Fold'. Being able to change the color scheme by pressing the space key is a welcome addition, as some of them are easier on the eyes than others.

The loose controls/camera are probably the main negative point for me. I guess you can get to really flow with the action with enough practice, but was sort of unwelcoming for me at first.

Keep it up! :)

Wow. I love how there's different sound effects for left and right movement, incredible. It really lulls you in to a sense of sleep. That camera could use some work though.

Oh, and I forgot to say, love that preloader popup thing.

Well said.

Gave this one quite a bit of time, to see if it did anything for me... it felt really buggy the whole way through, or at least, not super well though out. Also, got boring super fast.

On the plus side, it was very pretty, and tasteful, and the audio was grand, too.

I just wish you guys had been a bit more creative. Put a plane in there, that blew you around when you passed. Or a flock of birds you could follow. Something to add interest now and then.

Great aesthetic, quite relaxing to play this game during a rush. It was easy to recognize the author behind the audio.
