Nice game

Liked the rain atmosphere a lot, but the kite was kind of hard to control at the same time with the player, that thing that gets after you seems a bit extra for me, I think the kite and birds were enough. Other than that the game the feeling of the game is very nice.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it

Short game, but a damm good looking one.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks. I tried hard to make it look and feel good and I'm happy you appreciate it

Great game, love the whole thing! The sound, graphics, and mechanics all work together well.  The only small issue I had was that some of the ground obstacles were a little tricky to jump over. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! There is a lot of random factors to obstacle and bird spawning so it can happen that sometimes you can't pass an obstacle

I find the gameplay and the interpretation of the theme to be quite interesting, especially the fact you're controlling an invincible character (and trying to move and not stay behind the screen scroll) while simultaneously trying to protect the kite, over which you have very limited control. Well done.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my game!

I really like that kite mechanic and it's a interesting way to interpretate the theme!Well done!

*maybe you would also like to play my submission*

Thank you! I liked your game as well

very nice! made it to 616. I think it's good xD

Developer

Thank you. I'm glad you had fun playing it

Interesting idea to control things that effect the object you’re trying to protect rather than the object itself. Solid theme, nice work!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it

Very creative game lol. Anyways it was fun to play and I enjoy how you used the kite in the game play.

Developer

Thanks!

First off, the title is really creative, would've never thought of email replies and how they add a re: to the subject. The art and music work great together and the calming aesthetic is well executed. The dual avoiding of obstacles by the kid and the birds by the kite makes for nicely challenging gameplay as well. Overall, solid work!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The game pretty cool! The artstyle is incredible and the it's amazing how the game is fluid. Everything seems to fit pretty well in the game. Congrats!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

Love the game, the music fits the game so well, the graphics are amazing and the controls smooth. I really love this style of game art, I am really impressed with how great the game looks

I love the take on the theme with the wind and the kite, not at all because the game I made also uses wind and a kite, but they are so very different despite the fact that they share that 

Great job, only issue I had was getting stuck behind the large wheels but that's due to my skill at jumping. 

Developer

Thank you for the nice words! I'm glad you enjoyed my game :)

Probably the best game I've played so far out of this game jam.

The art and music is beautiful. You took an original take on the theme, without it just being about going back in time, and it looks really polished for only being made in one week.

I'm definitely going to try hard until the next jam to be able to submit something cool as this in one week.

Developer

Thank you, it's a great compliment. I appreciate it.

really loved the gameplay and the relaxing atmosphere. The way you have to control two things at once makes it a really unique experience. nice job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you had fun playing my game.

I really liked the play on words. It made me click on your game. I only could not figure out how to control the kite more. I could only control the little kid. It would be more challenging if you had to control the kite as well :)

Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

You can control the length of the kite's line with keys I and K. Moving the boy of course also indirectly controls the kite. Also you can keep track of wind strength by looking at it's UI or the rain and adjust the line accordingly (The longer the line, the more the stronger the wind will propell your kite). No other control beside that. It's a kite after all :)

I was hoping someone would have the courage to go with a pun on "wind." I first wanted to do a tornado game, but lost my nerve. This game was enjoyable and quite challenging. Paying attention to two aspects--the kid and the kite--made for some exciting moments. I really like the mood of this piece. I found myself wanting to know more about the story from the opening cutscene. If you continue to develop this game, I would hope for a continuation of that mysterious email (or is it in there and I just didn't get far enough?) If you are looking for other suggestions, the obvious one is to have the kite string actually attach to the hand, so there is no gap in the silhouette. That's probably a challenge with the physics and the line renderer, but I really think that extra polish would be worth it if you are going to continue this game's development. Great work!

Developer

Thank you very much for the kind words. I was initially planning on making multiple levels with different color palettes, different obstacles and a different event at the end. This of course was way out of scope. I definetly wanted to have a cutscene of some sorts at a certain distance that would add to the story and unlock endless mode. I still didn't have the time for that and went with just endless mode.

It would be something on top of the priority list if i were to continue working on the game.

Very nice Art and sound design. Definitely and interesting take on the theme and i like it :) Nice job on the menu aswell.

Developer

Thank you! I'm do proud of the aesthetic of the menu :)

I really loved the art style, sound design and the atmosphere of the game. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much!

Wow! That was fun! I was really hooked into it after the first played when I immediately died from getting stuck behind a rock. The music was really cool (kudos to whoever played piano on the intro, that was good!) and blended well with the dark gloomy graphics. It was a really unique game idea and it fit well with the theme. I really enjoyed your game, amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you Orion! I put my heart (and a lot of work) into this game. It means a lot that people are appreciating it.

I will definetly pass the compliment to my friend Bertalicious who's the author of the theme :)
