Awesome game idea, the animations are also all really nice.
My only 2 problems with the game are:
1. The momentum, in my opinion there should be a much quicker deacceleration when not pressing forward and definitely when breaking. I often had a hard time fighting and even landing because of the controls. Though maybe that's different for other people.
2. The pacing, it started out really nice but then I had to pick up villagers from a few villages without any challenges, it would've been nice if some enemies were thrown in already slowly!
Those points didn't take away much from my enjoyment though so it's still a really solid game!
