Away is a calm flying short game in which you have to guide a bird through strong winds. The game was made in collaboration with Daniel for the second 1 bit game jam.

Rather liked the controls and the way that progress reversed.
An odd detail is that the level-to level lore blurb doesn't... Doesn't really fit? The last two could easily have been "High Above The Clouds" "I'll Be At Peace." and that'd have made more sense than "High Above The Clouds" "Take My Burdens" (second time the blurb appears) "I'll Be At Peace."
Does that really have to show up there? Sort of defenestrated the whole experience to get a random repetition.

This game was great. Super relaxing and I liked guiding the bird through the winds.

Controls felt pretty floaty. It felt a bit troublesome to navigate. As another commentor mentioned, I was surprised by how quick the journey ended! A light bit of music, make a few more words, and more color palette would give it a nicer feel!

I don't know if you are aware of it, but the gameplay reminded me of Flower by thatonegamecompany. Maybe you took inspiration, maybe not! Either way, the type of game has potential in invoking deep emotions in an audience when it is really developed.

I will applaud you for taking on a game jam though! I have never attempted a feat, nor really made any games of my own. Just a casual game enjoyer and someone with a deep love for literature. Keep up making games! :)
