It's your last day as a baby delivering stork before retirement, but then, stroke! The baby takes lead and tries to land safely and complete the delivery.

Use the arrow keys to glide and avoid obstacles.

The game looks great! I'm impressed. It's very hard for me but the game works well. (How high was that stork flying?)

The game is difficult, just like trying to land a dead stork as a baby

@Stalemeat Too high. Maybe thats why he got a stroke.

Nice simple game and I like the idea of the baby taking control and piloting the stork! There was a good variety of obstacles in each stage, and they all made sense.

I find the idea of the baby very funny. I also think the music is nice. The only problem is the acceleration of the stork. Once you have taken a path, you can hardly correct it. A high score would also have been nice to see your best score :) But still a solid game. I also like the possibility to skip the intro :D

It wasn't easy but I finally made it:

A nice game with a small scope. While the gameplay isn't revolutionary, I think that the balance is quite good and I enjoyed the variety between the different stages. It was frustrating at times, but that's part of the fun.

I did not do well. I thought I was getting the hang of it and a satellite came from the side of the screen and killed me! It was neat.

Fun idea, but difficult to reach. Actually I had my sister to finish the game for me xD
I liked the humor of it!

Super cool and clean game! Very difficult though (:

High score could be greate and it would be nice if stork would be easier to control

I can see that you guys have great sense of humor! But doing one's job with the last dying breath is also kinda touching I guess.

Cool animations and idea. Controls could be a bit easier to make it more fun tho.

Cool game, but I found it a bit too hard. Character moved slow and some obstacles are unavoidable.
But still I was able to get to the 3rd phase.
Cool theme interpretation and great art and visuals!

Such a fun take on the delivery theme! Cute graphics, simple but fun mechanic. The controls could be a bit more responsive tho, I died ALOT lol but this is part of the challenge. All in all, cool little game :smile:

Fun game! Kept getting killed by the drone though 😅
Maybe it’d be more fun with more responsive controls.

Poor Stroke-stork, but I believe this baby will become a great druid and animal rider in the future! This game is great!:heart:

Quite a high difficulty level here! I found the control of the stork a bit cumbersome. Perhaps this is on purpose for a glider feel! I did notice that when I full screened the game, it would not recognize the arrow keys. Simple and clean.

Oh I am NOT a huge fan of how you can't use WASD controls, nor how you have to restart from the beginning and watch/skip through the intro each and every time. Good graphics, but genuinely too punishing to keep my interest for long.
