I couldn't really find much objective to the game but it was fun to just fly around collecting the boosts. It could have used a little bit of explanation on what to do. It was a nice environment though. Could be a decent start to something.

I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do, I just tried going through as many hoops as I could. I didn't know what the meters on either side of the screen were supposed to represent either. They were also very hard to see since they were mostly transparent.

I didn't know the controls but I worked out how to move, and pressing space gave me a small boost, but I'm not sure if there were any more controls.

I enjoyed gliding however, but sometimes it seemed the game would pull me towards the ground even though I thought I had a good speed.

I liked the look of the game, but I think a "how to play" screen would have helped.

The ship or plane was hard to control so I could only get through the first hoop, other than that I liked the menu it was simple but it could have had more text explaining what you had to do. Some screenshots on this page would have been nice too.

Really well built game! Can see it took a lot of technical skill to build! Excellent work!

The gameplay was fun and relaxing - I had a great time playing it! Thanks! It would have been good to receive some more information about progress and the UI, though.

I liked the audio for this game. The glider whooshing was good but I really liked the tinkling from the yellow triangles, it was very atmospheric :)

Really nice looking, also agree some explanation of the meaning of the bars on the side and general guidance would have been nice. It felt a bit difficult to control, i guess its part of the challenge but still, would have liked the speed to be a bit faster also.
