The controls are definitely tough in this, but I adore the visuals! It's beautiful. I like the idea, too, of having to use physics to get where need by using the fairy.

This game wouldn't need much more work to be something I'd pick up on Steam! Great job, would love to see more!

This is awesome! I think movement would feel better if it was a bit more responsive, but it still felt amazing when I pulled off two swings in a row without touching the ground. The art is very good as well.

I got stuck at the second rising/falling platform, I could get the fairy on top of the next platform but couldn't swing myself up.

Anyway, very well done!

Very good pixel art and nice concept. The fairy is a little too slippery and can make the game a lil frustrating tho!

Submitted

Really beautifull game! The controls are hard tho, sometimes the fairy slides off a platform if you have too much speed! But other than that really cool! :D

I loved it. I only wished this whole time that the fairy was a bit faster, but it was a nice mechanic with great graphics and a good long level. Good job!

Love the mechanic! Kinda hard to get used to, but once you do very fun

I love the presentation of the game. I'm a sucker for pixel art, and immediately from the title I knew I was in for a treat. I only wish the level design could be fleshed out more, but I understand the limitations of a 48 hour jam. I hope you'll continue development in the future.

The first visual glance tells you that the game is really polished, when you start to play it your suspicions just get confirmed.

I really didn’t expect to see such an amazing project, when i started participating.

The movement is kinda weird, but I haven’t encountered any bugs. The checkpoint system also works well, but I’d prefer to see respawn points as nodes, that you can collect.

Full 5 Star rating in all departments, great job.

very beautiful game!

beautiful pixel art, 10/10 trees. Gameplay is fun, challenging but not impossible or overly frustrating

Submitted

Awesome idea. very fun mechanic.  Looks amazing. 

As others have said the character is a bit hard to control, but you do get used to it and play around it. 

Id love to see this developed over time. You definitely have a great core mechanic to go on.

Submitted

I really like the graphics and the idea of core gameplay, as well as how you approached the theme. Good job!

Very fun game! Only thing I'll say is I wish the player was a bit less floaty, but other than that, was very fun to get home with my fly friend :)

The fairy slides like a mother! But the concept is really neat. Art looks terrific. WP
