This game was lots of fun to make. Few things I would like to improve but for the most part it works pretty well. I ran out of time and wasn't able to texture a few of my models, and a couple of placeholders had to be drafted into service as complete models. I find the windows full screen version is the most fun to play, but the web version works fine.

Enjoy

The mechanic is interesting, though I don't think it follows the theme too well.

@Vile Smile Well you only have 10 seconds once you enter the castles

So fun flying around.
Nice castles.
Music was awesome.

Flinging yourself around was a lot of fun, but it was rather hard and I often got confused about where to go :)

Not bad, interesting mechanic. I think making the mechanic to get in easier to experience the 10 second would have been cool

I picked the catapult up, and then when I set it down it kind of rotated into the ground, so then I couldn't launch myself. Going to try again...

@Zer0Kelvin Yeah thats one of those glitches that kept popping up. I'm hoping to fix that in a post jam version

This is silly fun.

Interesting premise!
Flying around is fun and being thrown into outer space is funny :P

I just found the I/K/F button combination to be a little counter-intuitive.
