Fold & Fly

A great casual game . The environments are great and music is well done .

The only downside is , the game is not saving my settings . Each time I start the game , the music that I turned down keeps resetting to its default settings . Other than what I said , the game is fun .

It's fun, simple and good for relaxing. You'll probably have to run the game on 'low' since the optimization isn't stellar but I think the game's definitely worth the price since it's just fun to glide around and pull off silly moves.

Very fun little spiritual successor to Superflight! I like that there's more to do than just fly close to structures; sometimes I just leisurely collect stars in the open sky and sometimes I try to grab the dragon flies in what feels like a get into tight quarters and get out rescue mission.

The game also features a variety of environments and a chill soundtrack. The different planes handle differently, I'm just working with the wide one with the best handling for now :)

One thing I'd love for the future is the ability to make our own planes somehow, or maybe customizable paper. Another thing I'd like is for the music to keep playing after a crash, maybe giving it a background, reverb effect just to change it up a little inbetween rounds; hearing the same start over and over again gets a little tiring.

It feels bad saying this, but I do not recommend this game. It's a superflight inspired score chaser where you fall endlessly as a paper plane, and it's not great.

The biggest gripe I have is performance. My computer can run a vast majority of games, including new releases and major titles. But this game? I'm lucky if I'm able to hit a stable 15 FPS for the majority of the runtime even with the lowest settings. V-Sync on or off, lowered resolution, any setting in here I tried to make work and the game just refuses to have a stale framerate, let alone one that goes past 15 FPS. Whats more surprising to me is that there is nothing in this game that should even imaginably cause this. It is an extremely simple game with simple graphics, yet it's also one of the worst performing games I've played this year.

Also, in the same vein as performance, bugs. Sometimes combos just don't happen, and those account for half of your score on average. I've had terrain generation just... stop at one point so I was falling through an empty level. Paper dragonflies open portals to the next stage during a run, but 90% of the time you'll see it, beeline straight to it, only for terrain to render in front of it after you're most of the way towards it. (Yes, this happened even with higher settings.) There are more but I'm not going to log them all here. It struggles to function, and even when it does the game doesn't perform well.

Even if you get past the bugs and the performance issues, the game is just OK. You collect stars that generate in clusters of 5 in the level, each one gives 100 points. Get all 5 in a cluster and you get a combo that gives you the star's score times 5. If you collect enough dragonflies in a level a portal opens in the level. When you go through it you get transported to a level with new scenery and you get a +1 multiplier to any points gained. So by level 5, you have a 5x multiple. You can also get score by flying close to the terrain but this gives you pittance in terms of points. The issues I have with it are the controls. You are LOCKED in to facing forward, and the tiniest button press will cause your paper plane to yank in that direction. The game also is constantly trying to autocorrect you to a slight fall, so you can't maintain a course easily, you have to constantly tap a button to descend at an other pace, or hold it to wildly swing in that direction.

The audio design is possibly the only part of this game I don't have a gripe with. It has a great soundtrack, picking up collectables sounds nice, and there's a nice peaceful feeling to the sound of wind being cut by your paper plane. It's not an "in your face" style of audio design, is soft and relaxing. And I very much like that.

I could 100% have refunded this game, but I won't. I want a small developer to succeed and I do hope that when I come back to this game in I don't know, half a year, that it will have been improved upon enough to have me recommend it. The core of the game is a bit wobbly but it's not completely un-fixable. However, until it is fixed I cannot and will not recommend spending hard earned money on it.

If you liked SuperFlight, this is basically the modern, updated version — smoother, better looking, and a lot of fun. Easy recommend if you enjoyed that game or just want something relaxing but still satisfying.

Only real gripe is the dragonflies can be hard (to near impossible) to see on some maps — especially the snow one. Performance was mostly solid, but I did get some random FPS drops on a few maps.

Fix those little things and it’s pretty much a perfect “flow” game.
