This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.

Pushed out of the nest by marauding Steelbeaks, Lenny finds themself in the middle of what seems to be a never-ending cycle trying to make it back home. Grow stronger generation after generation until one day you can make it back where you belong.

CONTROLS:

WASD/Arrow Keys - Weak flying, minor adjustments

Drag Left Mouse - Enter bullet time, launch yourself in a given direction.

Drag Right Mouse - Enter bullet time, fire a bullet in a given direction.

NOTES FOR PLAYING:

0. You will have much better experience if you have a mouse.

1. I recommend using Chrome. On Safari the mouse input often gets bugged and it won't register a mouse release until you move the mouse which makes it much less fun to play.

2. You can press backspace to skip each portion of the tutorial.

3. PRO-TIP #1: You can be charging a launch and a fire at the same time. This oversight sick tech makes it much easier to get out of swarms by keeping the right mouse button held down, while doing a series of precise launches with left mouse without ever leaving bullet time.

4. PRO-TIP #2: Flying towards the top of the screen and spam-clicking right mouse button is a surprisingly good way of killing enemies since they'll move (relatively slowly) up towards you.

5. I unfortunately ran out of time before being able to give the game a proper ending boss fight, or ending at all really.

Great work, u goated fr

This is really cool! Can't make it fullscreen though, which makes it easy to click out of the frame when aiming. Could you make the canvas width: 100%, height: 100% and make the camera FixedVertical(720.)?
