Up in the Air

Up in the Air

This is a short browser game created by a small team led by Julian Fietkau (@julian@fietkau.social) for FediJam 2024. You steer a feather through the sky in order to pick up words that beg to be written. The game is on some level dexterity-based, but does not require any particular skill level to finish. It is free and should run in all modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices. One playthrough takes about five minutes.

The purpose of this game isn’t to be particularly skill-based, but it is possible to get better at collecting the words across multiple tries. Unlockable content awaits the particularly ambitious player. And then there are secret cheat codes as well, but you probably have to be on good terms with someone on the creative team to get your hands on one of those…

This game is released as open source: project page at fietkau.media
(Note: project page is not finished yet, but the code repository can already be found here.)
