Yeah, the observation about flying is super fair - just yesterday we were discussing what we should change to make it feel more like swinging for example. Since the movement is so central tweaking this is very high on our list of priorities.
Very good points about the environment too - I especially like the stars idea, but we have at some point also discussed adding faraway structures and other marine life too. Your comment about boids has set my mind racing, so I started cooking something right away.
And yeah we hope so too! Also thank you for playing and for your thoughs^^
