Made a despawn animation for an enemy and later realized that they don't despawn (at least not while on camera).
I could use it in the enemy introduction cutscene, but it may confuse the player, as they will never despawn like this in game.

Where gravity is your greatest enemy and ally.

Riki is having a hard time sleeping.
Well... being lost in space while dealing with some unresolved past don't help much.

These is going to take forever (ᗒᗣᗕ)

The backstory of the game's protagonist will be told in the loading screens.
Paying attention to them will explain the sequence of events that resulted in the broken bird getting lost in the emptiness of space.

In Flightless Star using gravity creatively is essential to advance through the levels.
But sometimes it allows for some handy shortcuts, for those that want to challenge themselves and finish the level as fast as possible.

Midway through the second level we find CW Leonis (IRC +10216), the dying star surrounded by the carbon dust cloud that once belonged to its outer layer.

With new movement abilities come new challenges.
The new dodge move allows the player to significantly change his trajectory, to dodge hazards or safely land on the destined planet.

The Evil Eye (spiral galaxy NGC 4826) watches over the lost bird as the player begins the second level of the game.
- PS: I may consider redrawing or make some touch ups later as it looks a far cry from the amazing image it is based on.

Despite being safer on land, Riki still will have to watch out for the dangerous hazards.

Been making some adjustments in the coding and also decided to give the background a little more attention.
Despite it being in space, I tried to make it look less empty by adding more elements to the background and making them larger.

Started to draw some of the other character that will appear on the game, besides Riki.
For now we have Riki's older brother (haven't thought of a name yet) and Riki’s best friend, Johnny.
