Very fun. Made it to 50000.

50000 is a good score no doubt, happy to see everyone's good scores! Thank you for playing my game and your nice comment!

this is really good! the gameplay is simple but manages to reward restraint in waiting for a powerup before using a gust. very cozy atmosphere as well, love the intro animation! :)

only feedback is collecting powerups is quite difficult, both due to the random spawning and their small size

Thank you!! You're very kind. That's wonderful feedback! I was thinking that it might be too difficult to collect them before I went to upload, but I couldn't tell for sure so I left it.  ๐Ÿ˜… Ill have to make adjustments on this after voting

Very fun game! The mechanics are very fluid and intuitive. I cared about that leaf's journey so much! Also, your high scores are impressive! Best I got was 62175...

Aww, Thank you! I want to make it so much better! Also yea, I must have playtested it a hundred times tryna fix stuff so my scores probably reflect that ๐Ÿ˜…. 62175 is impressive though the swoop takes some getting used to, thank you for playing!

I loved the concept, the game is fun, simple for a jam, and the aesthetics are excellent for the theme. Excellent work
