Annoying lack of finesse on the controls.

Way too hard. I couldn't even reach the first red thingy! On the positive side, it really felt like you were trying to steer a feather :)

Nice to see a 3d game. Unfortunately it was very hard to control or understand how you were supposed to play...

I found the game very hard to control and either spun out of control or drifted gently into the ocean. I never even managed to get to the first updraught.

There's very little visibility into what the controls actually do. The game would probably be substantially easier to get into if there were some kind of visible setting (angle, power, whatever) for each of the controls. As it is, I kept overcompensating trying to correct and ended up crashing.

Fun score is low because there's not much there yet, but this looks promising.

Okay, the first time I played this game, I got chills, the atmosphere was so compelling. I made it to a geomagical plexus before drowning, what fun! I had to try again. I immediately drowned. Five more times, drowned right away! I never even approached the first updraught except that first time. I love the almost out of control feeling you get with those controls, but you gotta do something about them. Great first impression. Keep the intro just the way it is!

Not much fun, did not have the feeling I could really control the feather I'm sitting on, and after getting into the red tube thing I totally lost control and was just spinning around all the time >.<

As its already stated, there not much here yet but what is already there seems to be very well made. Its also a bit too hard to control. And the clouds don't help seeing what's happening.

Couldn't get a version of pyode that worked with python 2.6

I wasn't able to try it out, as I didn't have access to pyode on windows with python 2.6

Music is great, controls are kind of hard to grasp. For some reason the feather would sometimes start to spin like mad and wouldn't stop. Unique story and atmosphere! I'd really like to play the full version. ;-)

Nice relaxing music - couldnt figure how to float properly :(

I can use the arrow keys to tilt the feather back/forward and left/right but I can't seem to get
any forward momentum at all with which to head towards the red updraft.
