Flightless

Download

The game can be downloaded or on my itch.io

How to Play

Goal

The goal of the game is to get our flightless friend, the penguin, as high as you can. You can jump, bounce on other animals, and ride randomly spawning balloons to get the highest score possible.

Controls

• ASDW are the default controls. These can be changed to the Arrow keys in the options menu.
• Space is the jump button. It can also be used to stutter your momentum (Flap) if the penguin is falling
• Enter is the start/select button. It will also pause the game
• Backspace can be used to return in the option menu
• Esc can be used to close the game
• F5 toggles between fullscreen/standard mode

Tricks

Screen Wrapping

• Jumping past the screen border will wrap you to the otherside

Bouncing

• Enemies can be bounced on for extra height if you jump on top of them

• Careful not to miss, or you will get stunned and knocked away!
