What a cute little game! So very relaxing to play, and the ambient music adds to the experience... simply a marvelous game.

I barely figured out the controls (yes, I'm stupid). cool game!

I walked away from someone while talking to them and got stuck with the a dialogue box open :( Other than that, very relaxing and satisfying game! I would appreciate some minor obstacles or more erratic wind patterns along the way. Or if you're going to lean into the cozy, relaxing feeling, hearing some stories about the character while she's in the air would be entertaining.

great

Nice!!!
