Unique concept, I don't think there will be any other games in this jam with this angle. Well done Shiiro!

I wish the controls were more traditional for air games.

I thought the concept was really fun, and the music was also really catchy :) I had a really hard time with the controls (I kept going down when I thought I'd go up). I also couldn't quite tell when I would harvest helium -- between that and the controls, I never got to a point where I felt like I knew what I was doing.

Controls were a bit hard to learn, but overall good game!

Controls are the hard to learn but fun to master.

I guess we both are harvesting suns ;)

Theme is brilliant idea and game looks good, music fits in the mood. Just controls were too difficult for me.

It is very strange gameplay for me, but nice graphics and mood.

i really liked this kind of flight sim, and even if controls were a bit tricky at first, i ended up pretty good! i like the music, it sticks in head haha
