Impressive content for a jam! Really loved the last flying part and the twist. I'm happy I got to the end. I sadly skipped a lot of dialogue so I missed the condition, but it was fun to play!
I wish I could start to fly more easily, without needing to charge the space button and going in the direction I'm currently aiming. It would make the transition more fluid. (Maybe you can still charge though if needed?)
Updated game to fix last minute bugs and correct a spelling mistake in Bortelby's name (sorry dude!!)
