Notes from the developer:
This game started as a distraction from a loss that I experienced in my life. It has ended as a game I loved developing and has helped me confront my anxiety.
I hope you enjoy playing Clipped Wings as much as I enjoyed creating it!

This game is pretty nice. I enjoyed the demo version of this game! Lighting and animation is well-fleshed out. The level that resembles a depressive town on the coast has that anxious touch to the game.
