Forget planes, flight simulators at the moment are completely reserved for birds. Explore-o-soar game Feather launched this week, bringing a laid again island to navigate from above at your leisure. Take a breather and watch the trailer under.
Back when this game was a prototype with an extended title, Fruits Of A Feather, Pip played it and mentioned she wasn’t an enormous fan of the collectables in it though the motion itself felt good:
I feel the rationale the accumulating isn’t so attention-grabbing to me is that it typically requires the chicken to go close to the bottom or in the direction of the obstacles like bushes and so forth. That doesn’t damage the chicken, nevertheless it makes you very conscious of the boundaries of the animation and the key non-birdness of the factor you’re controlling. When you slam right into a tree and the chicken retains its wings out and remains to be form of flying all of a sudden the sense of flying falls away. I really feel like it will actually profit from having the objects you gather be within the sky one way or the other, or be hoops you fly by way of – that form of factor.
Apparently builders Samurai Punk agreed, as a result of now that the game’s out correct, these collectables are out, and hoops are in. They’re non-compulsory, although, as you’re free to go and do no matter you need. “The fruit are still in a few parts of the islands but they grow back eventually,” they are saying in a YouTube remark. “We focused on making a world worth exploring rather than arbitrary collectables like we had in the prototype.” There are apparently 9 songs to seek out although, which sounds moderately beautiful.
The world additionally now features a stunning quantity of caves for a chicken to be making its manner by way of, however after they look that fairly and are stuffed with treats like glowing flowers and underground rivers, who am I to complain.
Feather is now out there from itch.io, Steam, and Humble for £7.19/$9.99/€8.19.
