======================
Up in the Air
======================
This is a short browser game created by a small team led by Julian Fietkau
(@julian@fietkau.social) for FediJam 2024. You steer a feather through the sky
in order to pick up words that beg to be written. The game is on some level
dexterity-based, but does not require any particular skill level to finish. It
is free and should run in all modern web browsers on desktop and mobile
devices. One playthrough takes about five minutes.
The purpose of this game isn’t to be particularly skill-based, but it is
possible to get better at collecting the words across multiple tries.
Unlockable content awaits the particularly ambitious player. And then there
are secret cheat codes as well, but you probably have to be on good terms with
someone on the creative team to get your hands on one of those…
The game is inspired by “High Delivery”, a Flash game by Ferry Halim:

For copyright-related reasons, this game is distributed in two versions. There
is an open source version that can be found on Julian's website as a Git
repository. In addition, a “freeware version” (released unter CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
is available for download which has a few minor differences to the open source
version, and which may be redistributed and rehosted, but not modified. See
below for details.
