Wow, those are some nice graphics, and some niceee smooth controls. Obviously your game is extremely polished and pretty. The gameplay itself was cool, if a bit simplistic and it was an enjoyable experience had I not been on the edge of puking. God please do not put this in VR... No, but it really did make me feel a bit sick. Other than that you guys did a terrific job!

Beautiful game! One of my favourites from the jam, nice graphics and music, relaxing atmosphere and fun gameplay.

Congrats for this awesome game!!!

Great game, nice graphics and animations, beautiful music. I really enjoy it. Maybe you could add something to collect to show proper directions. Sometimes I didn't know if I'm moving really slow or have just stopped. Well done!!

The game freezes right after extremely cool logo. :)
Any chance of a standalone version? Thanks!

Very nice, beautiful, one of my best games on jam :thumbsup:

What a nice experience! The game truly delivers a relaxing atmosphere, both through the visuals and the audio. Well done!
However I felt the controls could have been improved. They were extremely sensitive for me (using the Steam Controller) which made the game more difficult than it probably was intended to be. A simple sensitivity slider could have solved this problem.

Anyway, this is a great entry to the jam. Thanks for creating!

Wonderful game, really liked the music and the mood it helped create. Really nice graphics and good use of the theme. I did find it a bit hard, that may be due to my lack of flying skills though. Good work!

Hi @coauctor, I added a windows build, thanks for signaling !

Perfect visuals and audio. Very well done!

The gameplay was very relaxing, but I had moments when I was not sure where up or down is and it felt almost dizzy. I would try to indicate basic directions somehow..maybe just slightly darker color at the bottom would be enough.

Thanks for sharing the game!

Very nice game. The art and audio are so soothing, and being a flying squirrel really rocks. I didn't realize before that running out of power could be such a beautiful experience. Well done.

Wow, you've got some pretty polished graphics. The theme of flight, visuals and audio made game really dreamy. Flying as squirell was very relaxing. On the other hand some indication of speed other than camera placement would be appreciated. Also, I could easily get consfused when entering tunnels under various angles. Nevertheless, it's very good entry, and issues I mentioned are really negligible.

Very nice looking game and I dig the floating islands. One minor complaint: the collision detection was a bit unforgiving and it's frustrating when you lose because the wing touched an obstacle by a few pixels.

Great game with stunning graphics!

This was a super relaxing and pleasant experience. The opening cutscene does a great job of establishing the premise and the goal without any text. My only real complaint is that the experience was too short!

Really nice and chill game, very fun and relaxing !

** Positives :**
- Really tight controls and fun gameplay
- Some beautiful graphics, character the glider and backgrounds all look very nice :)
-Calm and chill soundtrack that fits the mood of the game

** Negatives :**
- Maybe a few slowdown on the WebGL version
- Could be better if you could play it not only on keyboard

Other than that it's really solid, Great job guys ! ^^

the game is beautiful! i wish i could have seen more of it. i don't have a controller so i used the keyboard, but the controls got away from me pretty quickly and i got motion sick from trying to orient myself. I'm not sure how that would be fixed, but i'd really love to see more of this game than I currently can.

Amazing game with beautiful graphics and sound. Interesting gameplay. Very polished, with amazing visuals. The only thing that could be better is the blur, I think it is a little bit too strong.

I have no idea what the end goal of this game is; I just flew around for ages having a great time. I recommend this.

The controls were a bit difficult (it was nearly impossible for me to turn, for example) but the sensation of flying was great.

A great mood too, and nice graphics!

Is there an end? Because I managed to reach the tree but crashed on its island…

There is maybe 1 or 2 games I can give 5 stars every year. And yours deserves 6 stars!

Everything was perfect ... from the soundtrack to the amazing graphics .... With the controller everything is easy to maneuver and honestly it doesn't seem like it was made in only 3 days.

If I had to change one thing it would be ... nothing. You guys clearly know better than me how to give a great experience to a player. :P

Great job!

The sound design perfectly fits with the flying sensation. This game is a poetic one. I do recommand playing (and giving a good rate :) )!
Congrats guys

Very pretty! I did get lost a lot though, and then the game reset my position?

Juste played it, it was a cool experience, loved the mood.
I was a bit confused with the camera and the slowness that sometimes hits me :)

Good job for creating this atmmosphere

Looks beautiful!
I didn't know where to land at the tree island though.

Nice experience with beautiful graphics)

Nice game, great visuals, a little bit challenging but fun. Great entry.

Very moody above all, production values on a pro level.

Not exactly sure of my distance or velocity at times, but the basic interaction felt satisfying. It did give me a bit of motion sickness though.

Really cool flying experience, graph & sound on top, the feeling is here and almost perfect with controller

but i feel like nothing motivate me already to keep flying, cuz i can just turn in round or else and catch some "up-wind" to keep the avatar in the air.

So i guess that you are going to made something like an "hour experience" and i'm sure it will be awesome, because all the work on camera is really good, i will maybe reduce the fog sometimes, because it's not good with intention of "Enjoying the environnement"

Nice work you got da five !

looks nice, good music. Not sure if i'm supposed to keep on flying because it doesn't look like i'm reaching the tree.

It was a bit difficult to keep the squirrel stabilized and flying in the right direction, not crashing into the islands, but after ~5 minutes I got used to the controls.

The only little thing I noticed was not perfect was the abrupt music transition when switching scenes. Cross-fading the tracks might be nice.

The game is a wonderful piece of art with an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. Congratulations, well done!

Awesome graphics and medative gameplay! Cool!

This was such a joy to play, really relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. The graphic style suits the tone and setting of the game and the mechanics were really well refined I found and I was using the arrow keys! Such a good job on this, kudos!

I's a very nice dreamlike fly. very charming and relaxing :smile:

I liked the visuals and the atmosphere. The controls were impossible for me. Made me real dizzy.

The first time I played it, I spun wildly out of control and got horrible vertigo. The second time, I figured out the controls and had a ton of fun. It controls like I imagine an actual glider would control, which made the game feel amazing whenever I managed to maneuver it correctly. The music and general aesthetic were impeccable, but it did feel a little weird that the music was still as calm as ever as I plummeted to my death. All around a super fun experience!

Really professional feeling game!

Cool chill game. Loved the atmosphere on this one. Really good low-poly-ish design too. A little too hard to play on the keyboard tho.

Beautiful chill-out game. I was relaxed but alert steering my little squirrel through loops and drafts. It reminds me of gliding in one of those Rocksteady Batman games. Really nice game!

Wow your game looks and sounds amazing. But I have some problems with the controls and lost orientation. I wished I would have a sign where for the direction where I should fly.

Very nice graphics and I love how relaxing and cute the game is. The controls are almost great but turning seems to be a bit difficult and often I found myself dying because I couldn't get the character to do what I wanted it to.

Perfect mood, awesome music and nice visuals. It a was a little bit hard for me and DOF was a little bit too much sometimes, but overall it's awesome. Great job!

It is so easy to get lost in wanting just to glad around and see how far you can go that I completely forgot the object...and that's not a bad thing :) Found myself making the sound effects of the wind as glided through the air, lol.

I have been making a lets play YouTube series for my favourite LD 39 games and Back Home was in part 6 of the series! Here's a link if you want to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yDZ1gd1QPE&feature=youtu.be

I really love the look and mood of this game. I have a bit of trouble with the controls, but I'm not used to flipped axis verts. I just adore the look and story of this! It just feels good to watch.

wow @sarrixx! thanks a lot for your video :) it's always grateful to actually see people enjoying the game! too bad you didn't manage to finish the game in the video, the controls are actually pretty tough haha. Thanks again!

Very relaxing music and atmosphere. The controls didn't quite mesh with me, as the glider just wouldn't stay straight and I sometimes lost my orientation when trying to fly through some islands. My first thought was, that I could just fly straight to the tree, but I quickly found out, that it wouldn't be that easy, I like that.

Amazing entry, the graphics are beautiful, the music sets the mood perfectly, and the controls are very good. The only problem for me was that it really was not clear where you had to go, I had to read the description to get the objective, and that is really not good, it would be a perfect game if simply had a small message at the beginning: "Reach the tree" or something like that. In any case, one of the best entries I've seen.

I read about ithis game in a review and it said that the game was so fun and beautiful and It said the truth.
Great game, fun, with beatiful art, relaxing music and simple controls. I only have one advice (in my opinion): Perhaps the route and wind should be more easy to perceive, with saturated colors or something.
Cool game, one of the best I played in this JAM

Nice relaxing game.

Lovely game. The graphics and music are excellent, and I enjoyed the gentle flight dynamics. It would be interesting to see if this translates to VR. Mrs Columbo (my wife) wants to know why the squirrels are so angry.

I got super dizzy, but it was fun. Beautiful graphics and music. I'm confused on how it matches the theme though.

Very relaxing and fun! I definitely recommend using a controller over a keyboard if you have one, but keyboard is still usable. I also forgot which island I was supposed to be moving towards; perhaps a landmark like a flag or a house might have helped forgetful players like me. Wonderful entry overall!

Looks and sounds great! It seems no-one mentioned the reversed controls? Like, when I press up I go down? I noticed this kind of control in some flight games, but there's usually an option to reverse it back. I had real trouble handling it.

Beautiful and very polished, but i found it very hard, i couldn't manage to stay a float for long, i understand the principle of the airstreams accelerating you, but it did not really seem logical to me and i couldn't catch many of them.

Maybe a better explanation at the beginning would help.

Or an easy mode for ppl like me :)

cute graphics, liked the narrative and main character, but was getting confused about which way to go, was trying to follow the air streams but just didn't seem to work out, tried with keyboard and controller..much better with controller. Maybe an arrow to tell you when you are going the wrong way or something would be nice.

Great graphics and a really serene experience which I appreciated. Well done :)

Awesome game with amazing graphics and audio!!! Way to Go!
