WOW!! Simply wonderful. Cool take on the game and enough fun mechanics for me to play with. I'm surprised I wasn't able to easily cheese your game. Nice work. I only would have wanted to have some sound effects, but time is limited. One of the cooler entries I've seen. Cheers.

It's a cute concept but I couldn't figure out what any of the items besides the portal one were for. Touching any of the other ones just ended your run and it was much easier to just get enough flaps to make it across than to buy anything else.

There was also a problem with the left platform (which I assume is where you are meant to get to), I either hit an invisible wall or just flew over it and fell infinitely.

I love "the incredible machines" type of games! Tried to construct a "bridge" for an hour or so, very addictive. Great job!

What a fun game with some in depth mechanics and nice modeling! I never managed to get a particularly good combo off but had fun building and playing. It felt like Daedalus telling Icaras not to fly too high and ultimately building his doom. ;) quite polished, great work!

Very interesting idea for a game. Reminds me of the Crazy Machines series I used to play as a kid, but with an additional twist of the goal of keeping the guy in the air as long as possible. I've messed with some different contraptions for a while and had a lot of fun doing so. I think if you added some pre-made levels with obstacles and specific set of items with a goal of keeping Icarus in the air given amount of time, you could create an interesting little puzzle/strategic game out of it.

I like the art in the game. This game is interesting because it is like a pinball game but the player are require to make the path and strategize how to make more money to increase the puzzle elements. I like the use of the rag doll system that makes it humorous. good job

The idea is fun and I had fun trying the game. The game mechanics is overall okay, but they could use a bit of polish. Overall a pretty good little jam game.

I really liked the idea of this game. I felt like I could cheese it very easily though with trapping the guy
