Alight is a platformer that mixes exploration and reflexes and more than a little story. Move with the arrow keys, fly with the space bar or up arrow. If you find yourself having trouble getting much altitude, trying pressing the space bar at a slower pace until you find the right rhythm. And remember that you can always drop down out of a flock of birds without using a flap of your wings with the down arrow key.
Every time you enter a door, your game is automatically saved, and you can replay a level at any point.
If you're amazed by the music like we were, you should check out Smiletron, who made the song -- he has a web site at smiletron.org and more songs at 8bc.org/members/SMILETRON

Gameplay was annoying in places
Was the main character supposed to be such an unlikeable bastard?
SPOILERS.
So when he's talking on the phone to his mum he's too self-obsessed to give her a chance to tell him he's dying? And when he does find out, he feels "Oh God, this is so hard for ME" and basically shuts her out of his life so he doesn't have to watch her die? He's not there to comfort or help her in the slightest bit.
And when she does die, he's like "Oh, ok" and throws himself into his studies, even taking his project with him to her funeral.
And when his life doesn't turn out to be the amazing success he wanted it to be, he decides to kill himself by burning his mother's old house down?
WHAT A PRICK.

Great, but not too great.
Great idea for a game. I love these dreamy type of peaceful worlds that you can interact in, so seeing something like this get the big front page is better than another arcade game redone. It was entertaining, and I'm willing to go against the mainstream idea of forcing me to use space. I found the up button to be a lot better, although I'm going to suggest WASD overall. It wasn't that much of a game though in the end. While I enjoyed it, and that quote about feathers being a special treasure will always stick in my mind... it was still felt like a lacking game.
I'm going to give you 5/5 because people like manrayer88 apparently think that this game needs morals and meanings... right like I play games to help smokey the bear. <_< It's a game on new grounds, not some advocate promotion, or oversized riddle. Take it for what it is. The beauty of real art is that it is the artist's dreams/visions, not the viewers.
