Non-violent. Relaxing. Kid friendly. A really sweet exploration game where you get to fly a dragon. There is way more content than I expected when I purchased. The dragon handles fairly well once you get used to it. The scenery is very pretty. The music is soothing. Check it out. https://youtu.be/wJ5NjUqyTEM

this game is extremely boring. i get its a "fly around in a kid friendly long drawn out land" but Jesus Christ.. there is about 3 things to do, all of which are so aimless. i spent about 20 minutes flying around collecting armour you cannot do shit with. You wear it that's it, no buffs no nothing whats the point except to keep you playing for longer when the novelty wears out in around 10 seconds. the races are boring and repetitive, the gem collecting gets old after the 20th gem (you also cannot do shit with the gems except give them to a big talking gem so it can monologue...) there was a mobile game called dragon pal back when i was younger and this game.. is so much worse, you heard me loyal reader this game is indeed less interesting than a damn mobile game. dragon pal was so much better as you could customise the dragon with colours and body parts, it wasn't "collect gems so you can speak to a larger crystal" it was collecting various materials like roses and amber which were s...
I got this game for my 7yr old daughter, and I have to say... I can't stop playing it myself! Yes it looks clunky, and some of the animations are reminiscent of Virtua Fighter 1, and other 1st gen polygon games, but the gameplay is actually very refined. The cool thing about this game is that the dragon's flying controls can be simplified for a child to be able to play it and enjoy it... But at the same time, if you turn off the simplified controls, flying the dragon and getting through races is challenging and enjoyable for an adult as well! Very different experience with the "pro" controls for the dragon, you have much more freedom to bank, turn, and manoevre... Well done. If I was to explain what this game is like, I would call it "Pilotwings: The Adventure game" If you remember that game on the SNES and enjoyed it, you'll probably like Ayre as well.
Ayre is a nice chill "flying simulator" with relaxing dragon flight, exploration, lovely calm music. Collecting gems and armor and racing through rings drive the exploration. The exploration leads to finding shrines which reveal a decent background story which fills you in on what happened to this quiet, abandoned society. The low poly terrain looks nice. The various game models aren't spectacular but they adequately fulfill their purpose. For a game developed by a single person they do the job just fine. The dragon and the flight model are superb and clearly a lot of attention went into that. Soaring through the air and doing a last second turn with the wings outstretched before landing felt perfect. Very well done. There were a couple of bugs, but the developer was very responsive and fixed them literally within minutes of looking at my saved game file. I did have trouble finding some of the gems and I feel like some visibility improvements could be had there. I know there were are...
I didn't know what to expect at first, but once I had played for an hour and got used to the controls I was really enjoying it. The flying is so fun especially the acrobatic ring races. The map is very large and I hope to have many more hours of flying and finding all the hidden things in this surprisingly fun game.
Fully underrated neat lil indie game. flying takes getting used to but it feels great, after a few upgrades you can fly anywhere at pretty decent speeds. Lore is entertaining and lighthearted, visuals are really nice while soaring although if you look too closely at things like your characters face, it's a little weird. There's plenty to do for the price, 40+ races to test your skills, loads of things to collect, armour sets and locations to discover and read about. Clearly some love has been put into this game, it's sad to see it go unnoticed. I hope a couple more updates come in the future although I fully understand if not, still enough to play with for £11. One issue which stands out to me right now is; I can't seem to find the "disable low poly clouds" option.
A chill filing simulator with a cool concept
A decent casual, dragon riding game.. very happy!..
👍
Incredibly relaxing and peaceful. A fun, uncomplicated game with a chilled out vibe and some surprising challenges.
