It's a pretty neat little game! It's not terribly long or complicated but it's a fun little experience! Would be very excited to see more from this sort of world!
I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to complete this one after I encountered my first void box, wherein most or all of the graphics were completely absent, leaving me to guess about the terrain. Luckily a restart allowed me to reach far enough to learn about throwing, for which Chad was also invisible. The combination of these two bugs created an unexpectedly delightful opacity to what would otherwise be very easy. Bruno the dragon, as well as the main character to a lesser extent, has a tasteful incorporation of visual design for the robotic kinematics somewhat inherent to Spine animations. The game is more or less split between its two mazer levels for Mind and Nerve motivation. In the first, the aforementioned difficulties in navigating the terrain provide a pace of acclimation for the movement speed, although I'd still say that Ezra accelerates just a touch too slowly. In the second, "crittervania" is all gone to make room for the big boss lizard, who offers quite a captivating chase. Games that take "mazer" mechanics to a truly intricate level, i.e. "metroidvanias," are an interesting challenge for making as small as possible, which in this case boiled down to an accidental opacity, but could be channeled into an intention for maximal density and difficulty similarly to Rain World or the most difficult puzzles of Animal Well and Fez. Since the core aspect centers around chucking animals, the next logical step in design is twirling Bruno around like it's Mario 64. Return to the Skyway gets a B for Bug Plucking Rock-onnaissance.

It's alright. Short and sweet though the throwing feels a little stiff
Как же меня бесило когда двойной прыжок не всегда срабатывает это очень сильно руинил. Много багов, недоработанные текстуры, кривая коллизия. Игра хоть и имеет достижения, но в идеальных играх не отображается.

[h1]Before I played Return to the Skyway, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
It's an ok way to spend 10-15 minutes, the game is very simple in terms of complexity and platforming. Just keep throwing them animals to get those achievements! My one legitimate complaint would be how floaty the character is while jumping, but it's a cute little student project that's worth checking out!

VERY short game, with platforming and puzzles, thats pretty much it.
2D‑платформер‑головоломка в фэнтезийно‑стимпанк‑сеттинге: игрок управляет Эзрой — аэронавтом, потерпевшим крушение на загадочном острове. Чтобы починить корабль и вернуться в Небесный путь, нужно исследовать местность, взаимодействовать с местными существами и решать головоломки, используя их способности. Плюсы: атмосферный визуальный стиль — красочный мир с элементами стимпанка и фантастической флоры/фауны создаёт запоминающееся впечатление; оригинальные головоломки — взаимодействие с уникальными существами острова для преодоления препятствий добавляет нестандартный игровой опыт; лёгкий старт и интуитивное управление — механики осваиваются быстро, игра подходит для расслабленного прохождения. Минусы: короткая продолжительность — контент рассчитан на несколько часов, что может разочаровать желающих более масштабного приключения; технические недочёты — иногда встречаются проблемы с управлением (например, сбои в механике прыжков) и визуальные баги; линейность прохождения — свобода исследования ограничена, маршрут строго задан, почти нет альтернативных путей. Итог: подойдёт любителям казуальных платформеров и головоломок с атмосферным сеттингом — впечатляет визуальным стилем, необычными задачами с существами и дружелюбным входом в геймплей. Может разочаровать из‑за краткости, технических шероховатостей и отсутствия вариативности в исследовании мира.
