Game Description:
Flight is a game designed to provide a relaxing and calming experience for the player. In Flight you take control of many different birds as you soar over a variety of landscapes, which are all unique to the bird that you are flying. Flight creates a calming and relaxing environment through the use of ambient audio effects, light music, and through the game’s primary gameplay mechanic of flying and gliding. Flight’s core gameplay lies in gathering clouds together in different layers of the atmosphere and gathering all the clouds on each layer will earn you a reward which is unique to each bird. Collecting all the clouds throughout the game will also unlock a secret character. Flight is played entirely through the use of the mouse, so that all movements both in and out of the game can remain fluid and smooth.

Technology:
The game's engine has been built from the ground up to give a fantastic visual and gameplay experience on high end hardware whilst still remaining backwards compatible on older and less capable hardware. To accomplish the former the engine can jump between being fully shader driven and running through an older fixed functionality pipeline.
