Mini Jam 217 - May I Fly

You are a rock that wished to fly. The wish is granted, on one condition: keep beating your wings or you come down.

May I fly?

One button. That's the whole game.

Every beat you land pushes you higher. The tempo never changes; the question is whether you can keep hitting it. The rock talks on the way up, and something much older talks back.

Made in a weekend for Mini Jam 217, theme whimsy. My whimsy is a stone with delusions of grandeur, apparently.

The technical bit

This one runs on Simurg, my own C engine, so no Unity, no Godot, no editor. The whole picture is one fragment shader driven by a single altitude uniform: near-1-bit through a Bayer dither, no sprites anywhere. The audio too: synthesised in C, mixed by the same altitude.

Play it here or in itch.io (:
