Taking Flight
This is a short narrative Bitsy game made for Mini Jam 99: Birds. I apologize if there are bugs or issues with the game-- please let me know if you encounter any and I'll do my best to fix them in the future!

In Taking Flight, you are a small bird named Astelle collecting the letters of someone you once loved more than anything in the world. Featuring an original soundtrack, the game leads players through an introspective, peaceful journey. The only catch is that once you move forward, there's no turning back. All you can do is keep moving.

I loved it! This game made me feel some emotions. The music was well suited. The theme and limitation were strong. I enjoyed the return journey even more than the outward journey, and I found the end very satisfying.
I'd have liked maybe one or two instances of branching, so I felt like I had a bit more agency over the storyline (but the same could be said of my own game's narrative). Also, the movement was a bit jumpy, which went against the smooth and dreamlike atmosphere of the game, but it wasn't a big problem.
Overall, very touching, enjoyable and memorable :) Thanks!
