Dream Flight - JQ Software

**jquave** · 01-14-2014

Hey Ouya gamers! I just released my first Ouya game called Dream Flight today. It's a game based on the idea of flying through the city scape in our dreams.
It's designed to be very soothing, atmospheric, and fun. The full unlock is $0.99, but the demo is plenty to test it by. Anyway, I'm looking for any feedback so I hope you all try it out, and I hope you all enjoy it

Dream Flight on OUYA

Demo includes: First level and a mini-level
Full version: 5 Levels and a mini-level

I tried your game.
It's really quite a bare bones endless runner (okay - flier), that ends only about a minute or so into the gameplay. During that minute I managed to run into a show-stopping bug that once happened, required the game to be shut down and restarted. Basically, if you manage to die in the short end sequence near the end of the first area of the demo when the camera zooms back in, you are restarted with a zoomed in camera that never zooms out even when you hit the wide open areas.

Also - I feel like you are walking a fine line between minimalism and "almost nothing there" at least for this demo. There isn't even a proper front end to it.

Thanks for trying the game!
I will have to look in to the camera zooming issue. It was happening before but I thought it was resolved now. Maybe the demo version still have the problem.
There is actually more to the game in the full version, but I get that the demo is very slim. The full game is pretty short, can be completed within 20 minutes or so, so the demo had to be really short to not just be the full game. It's my first try at making an Ouya game though and I intend to keep updating it with new content, so maybe in the future a more elaborate demo makes sense. Anyway, thanks for the honest feedback, it is appreciated

The video reminds me of Barnstorming. You could probably borrow some ideas or get inspiration from it for future updates.

honestly the dream flight concept is an excellent idea, makes me think of getting the fuck out of my mind and flying around when i heard that music and thought about dreaming :3
i havnt played it yet but maybe you could add an elaborate story behind the game with maybe a few walking around/platform-style parts to it then u could really have a great game on ur hands. ill check it out and see what u have so far
