Volo Airsport is a rather difficult game about gliding through the air, and we have some keys for you lovely Linux gamers. I've tested it out personally and it's quite difficult, hilariously difficult. It will take a while to get the hang of it, as the control scheme is pretty unique.

It's in Early Access, so we will give it some full thoughts at release, or once there's some more to it if the release is far off.

About the game (Official)
Volo Airsport is for those who fly like birds whenever they close their eyes.

Take to the skies and fly past mountains in a wingsuit. Try to hug the cliffs at over 250 km/h or cruise at high altitudes and admire the scenery.

Your body and gear are fully physically simulated. You fly by controlling your character's muscles directly, which changes your pose, which interacts with the air around you. You can see, hear, and feel every gust of wind as you pass it.

Keys to give away
Just answer me this: Why do you want to fly like a bird?
I will pick winners during next week.

Competition is over!

Check out Volo Airsport on Steam now if you can't wait.

QuoteIt will take a while to get the hang of it, as the control scheme is pretty unique.

Did you try it with a controller / gamepad, or mouse and keyboard? Is it playable with mouse and keyboard at all?

i played with controller and it works great. note that it has very steep learning curve which is one of the things i like most in this game. it's not something you just get into. i'd suggest watching the video tutorial as 1st thing you do. it will spare you a lot of deaths which only happen until you realize difference between plane and gliding

about keyboard and mouse i can just speculate, but based on how much work was done on being able to customize controls... it shouldn't be any worse than controller. and it is even more so since this is Unity game where controller is usually terrible. developers really did their job

also, why do i want to fly? because sliding on my belly in Tuxracer needed upgrade after so many years ;) it is first game with speed done correctly after tux

I just would like to be suspended in the air, the same way that bricks don't.

Because I've never seen the world from above and especially not as a bird I mean its not like in a plane you know it'll have the same heigth all the time and as a bird you have too keep yourself up. :D

You know, walking is boring.
And real Wingsuit flying can be quite dangerous...

I would love to have this game because I have always dreamed of piloting a wing suit but the 6 seconds needed for the suit to open is a tad bit scary. Maybe this game would help give me a better concept of the sport :S:

Because when I was a kid my best dreams were of flying. Now, as an adult, my dreams are about failing at work. Time to bring those childhood dreams to life.

I'm a big fan of flying. Like many here, I would like to have an experience as close to that of a bird gliding and flying through air.

Unlike (probably) a good portion of people here though, I don't have a lot of money to buy games with. I have a weekly payment of around $20-50 and I either get free games or save up for a game I really like (BL2, Portal 2, Postal 2, etc.).

I only have twelve games on Steam (four paid) and I had to save money for my current system. I'd be quite glad to receive a key for this game. Seems nice.

Also, like I've said before, I don't have a lot of greenbacks to buy the real experience. So, uh yeah, there's that too.

Because I feel like a bird without wings.

I'm a bird in a cage!

I want to fly.

I NEED TO FLY!

IT IS MY DESTINY!
