It’s time to blow up the volcano! Play the tutorial to learn game mechanics.
\nControls: arrow keys to move. Hold shift to dive.

I liked the added element of power ups and hoops, although once I’d completed the tutorial, the other ways to play were a bit tricky. The addition of the music worked well.

The detail of the game starting right up from the intro is very good, and the tutorial explains well how everything work. The lambada of the damned is what one might hear when jumping towards a volcano. The normal mode was too hard to me though (Didn’t dare to try hard). I feel sorry for the volcano!

However as others have said, the game is far too hard outside of the tutorial. I think a simple tweak would be just give the player more time, but add a score so like the more rings you go through and the closer to the center of the volcano you get, the more points you get.
\nThat way the player has a challenge to get the most point, but they aren’t frustrated by not being able to reach the end.
\nSome little tweaks there and I think you have a really fun game, but even as it stands its quite nice, and the graphics are impressive. Well done!

The graphics are well executed, namely the fog and the flares.\nI love flying around but I’m a bit impatient, so i really wish the game was a little more fast paced.\nThe music is nice, but a bit too harsh.\nOverall a fun game with some polish. Good approach to the theme.

\nVery cool old-school 3d models. Especially that plane you jump off.\nGame mechanics - just enough to make it a bit interesting.
\nOne thing that would improve it a lot is better physics. I’d like to feel it more about how I speed up, the maximum speed. But also be able to drift more between obstacles, when I break. This would take it to another level. Admittedly I wouldn’t exactly know how to code it myself - probably trial and error and watching some similar games. Think spider-man, or grow (flying on a leaf) game.
\nOverall - very well done. I encourage you to write more games :)

\nI’m making sure that the games I’m evaluating receive a complete feedback and sometimes they are going too deep. The website has a limit of 2048 characters so I’m putting the feedback into pastebin. I’m very sorry for making you leave the competition website, but I think you really could benefit for a deeper insight.\nAlso, I’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)
\nWith those points, you can find your feedback here: https://pastebin.com/ebzQMB8j
\nI hope it helps!

Nice game, good use of a simple and clean 3D graphics. Not a fan of the music however, even just wind noises with Math.random() could have been better, personal opinion, but overall great job!
