Boost your way up the mountain!

Aeolus, the keeper of the winds, is tired of being tossed around by the gods. He embarks on a quest to climb Mount Olympus (with his wind powers!) and claim a spot on the sacred mountain.


In this game, the user can control when the wind blows, as a reference to Aeolus, a side character from The Odyssey who had the power to capture wind spirits and put them in bags for later use.

nice n simple

Nice movement but i feel that some jumps are to tight and needed to use the extra frames that lets me jump a bit after the edge.

Thank you for the feedback! I might update the game to have one or two extra tiles on the ends of some platforms, because this is a common thread among the feedback I've gotten. Do you remember any specific levels that you struggled with?

cool concept movement feels a bit heavy and it would be nice to see more variety in levels and interactables but still great

Thank you so much for your feedback! When you say "heavy" what exactly do you mean? are you saying the movement is slow, or the jump is too low?

slow but i understand it would mess up all the timings in game
