You're actually able to do that - when the wind howls You can balance the gliding/falling so that You will be rising up. But in the air without any graphic before You will teleport its quite hard to do.
But yeah, I just made the gliding as a simple distinct mechanic, and didn't realize that people will find in it the most fun. Play tests are important and I done none unfortunately. Teleporting should be done in special zones, or by pressing a button.
Thanks for playing!
