A delightful little game! Loved being able to float around. very nice controls!
Being a butterfly is kind of nice. Had a bit of lag, but still a cute game!
Loved the gameplay and the overall aesthetic. Really enjoyable experience!
cute game and peacful to play .
Cute butterfly game. It took me some time to figure it out. But it was cool, flying down the mountain was the most satisfying thing about this game. Also the music was simple and on point.
I tried several times to get the mouse cursor to lock to the screen in firefox without success. But in Chrome it worked on the first try!
It'll do for a first try! Good job on getting it done!
It's a lovely premise for a game. Once the mouse was actually locked in place I had a nice time flitting from flower to flower. I found that the best strategy was space for some height and then gliding, while the left mouse option of up and forward took too much energy and left me with too much momentum to stick the landings.
The music is very fitting for a relaxing time, though it isn't set to loop so once it's played it's done for the rest of the session.
Thank you very much for your kind comment dear sir. Yes, there were so many bugs after uploading that at one point I thought it was Ubisoft or Electronic Arts making the game haha, but it was too late to make changes.
Thanks for the comment on the music not looping. I've died and replayed it so many times before it ends that I didn't even notice :)
Despite the fact that I can't make changes while we have a vote going on, I can make changes to the local build and there's already a different fog density and more emphasis on gliding.
I even recorded a video of my attempt to fly over all the flowers without touching any of them (the current version on itch has a different intertia and speed, you can't do that here). The gliding emphasis looks like a good choice to develop game mechanics on I believe.
Ah, that's quite nice! I was very much in the mindset of a butterfly when I played, so I didn't even consider trying to glide over them. I was fully intent on landing on the flowers, which worked out well in the current itch version. :) I can see how the new version would make for a snappier style of game play.
This looks amazing! Along with the peaceful music and well-chosen sound effects, there's a lot to like aesthetically. I think the challenge for the player needs to be better explained. I think it had something to do with landing on flowers, but I didn't quite grasp why or what for. The flying was pretty intuitive except for my natural reaction to use the arrow keys to steer - but that's on me.
Could you tell me the controls to use for flying? I figured out right-click is to glide, but I can’t figure out how to gain any height. The moth model is very pretty!
Thank you for your feedback! It's true, we didn't have time to integrate any hints or training properly, but the controls were laid out that way:
- Space (press): flap wings to fly upwards
- Left mouse button (click): flap wings to fly forward and upwards
- Right mouse button (hold): gliding
Nice job with the flying mechanic :) feels nice to use and the look of the game is great😊
The flight mechanics took me a second to get the feel for it. Your butterfly would mix in with my hummingbird nicely.
A really great looking game, great effects and enjoyable. Takes a little bit of getting used to but worth the investment in time. Great stuff !
Great idea, really enjoyed the gliding technique and effects! Nice skybox, I always struggle with skybox in Godot for some reason
Fun - A lovely experience soaring through the sky!
Theme - Pretty spot on, here. The little island in the sky that you fly through hit the theme perfectly.
Aesthetics - Beautiful! Loved the little butterfly and the flowers I soared to.
Music - Enchanting and appropriate. Really set the mood.
Sound - I liked the sounds of the wings flapping. The music drowned out most of the other sounds for me, but it didn't feel too bad.
Mechanics - A little tricky to get a hold of. I'm still not entirely sure if I fully grasped them by the time I stopped playing, but it was still a good time.
Story - Not sure if there was one, but I didn't feel like it was lacking in any way without it.
Overall - A really cute, relaxing game about flying to the sky as a butterfly. Made me feel good.
What a beautiful game! And very nice music too.
Congrats on creating it!
Cute little game. Just took me a moment to get the controls and what I was doing but worked it out very quickly. Well done
