Fly Lightly by Sitarra
Synopsys
To escape a terrible war on the ground, Timmy and his friends decided to fly to a safe place situated 5000 meters further away.
It won't be an easy task.
Timmy will have to take care of the crew to reach the ultimate goal ! Sadly, another totally innocent specie, the others, will try to get on your ship.
Sacrifices must be made.
It's you, or them...

@codesity Thanks for the feedback :)
Had to play three times and all of them were fun.
Not the best use of theme but it's there :D
Good job!
Great concept and really meshes with the theme
@kruemelkeksfan Actually yes there is a reason, it's turbulence because you are flying in the air ! It adds a little unexpected behavior to make the game a little more random. And concerning the fall, its totally wanted too, we find it more difficult to fail a jump that to go to the lowest level, and the death sound for the suicide is excellent, we didn't want to skip it ahah
@owl-and-jackalope Thank you ! We love it too :) yeah this wind is frustrating, but its on purpose and if a friend died because of it, it was exactly the point of that ahah adding a bit of randomness and frustation. I hoped you noticed that Timmy cries when the commander dies :p
Apart from that I really enjoyed the experience, nice graphics, music was a good fit, and the sound was good.
Good job.
Thanks for sharing your game.
@wojciech-bruski Thanks man, we are thinking the same !
@ruben-edery Nice, thank you for playing !
@syrapt0r Thanks dude, it was interesting to see you play on live. And you won at the second try, respect ! ahah
@j-star Thanks for your feedback ! Yeah you right it's not easy to read :(
As others said, I found the fact you can't move while the ship shakes to be a bit annoying. Maybe would be nice if the shaking could somehow make it harder for you to move but still allow you to move somewhat. Not sure how exactly to do that, but the fact your character just stops reacting to key presses while the shake is happening makes it feel like you are losing agency and it's not a good feeling.
Anyway, great game, thank you for making it!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D
