“Welcome Above” is the VR experience that allows you to actualize your personal dream of flying like a bird. No matter if relaxedly gliding through abstract aesthetics or rapidly nosediving along photo realistic cliffs – “Welcome Above” automatically recognizes your player type and offers you a flight experience tailored to your needs.

i love flight simulations. here you fly as a bird in stylish levels to cool music. especially i like the way you control the bird. it feels somehow super natural. you have to flutter with your arms :)
the content is with about 30min still quite short, if you stick strictly to the guidelines. here should absolutely come more.
but with the price you can't really complain.
another thing: i am actually very sensitive to motion sickness. after one hour there were no signs of it.
clear recommendation from me :)

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
I really enjoyed this game a lot. Unfortunately, it was all over in about 15 minutes. I'm sure I could play again and it would still be fun, but it would also be about the same. Sure you can take different paths, forget the objective, but that's still ultra light on content, especially for a game at the normal price of $8.99 USD that's in Early Access and hasn't seen an update since it released. Luckily, I got this game in a VR bundle on a 3rd party site for less than 50 cents (10 VR games for $3). You can probably google it and find it as it's still currently available.
The graphics are stylized and the map is interesting (4 levels = 4 different looking areas of the map). The flight mechanic is easy to pickup & fun to master. You get a wonderful sense of flight. The sound work is top notch (music + ambient sounds), which makes for a relaxing, chill flight. I wanted to keep flying and discover more areas.
Unfortunately, the 14+ minutes was it (1 map, 4 levels). You can die, but fortunately there are checkpoints so that you don't have to backtrack too much if that happens. You do get graded at the end, but I wasn't sure if it was done accurately (as I got the same score on both my runs which seemed unlikely to me as I thought I did much better on my second run). Lastly, there are no other options in this game (settings), other than the launch options for resolution and whether you want desktop windowed or full screen.
I personally think $8.99 USD is too much given the content, on the other hand, the content is superb. That's why I say just get the bundle and enjoy the limited content. I think the game is probably abandoned (EA = Early Abandonment).
Rate 6/10. This game would have at least earned an 8/10 if it had more content & more options (or much lower normal price).

Must-try VR experience! Not a game I will sink hours into, but still left me quite awestruck. The world is lush and psychedelic, constantly giving you new breathtaking vistas. The steering was frustrating at first, but felt quite natural once I understood it. Also, I fancy that flapping your arms like that is a good workout!
CONTROLS:
– Flap your wings to move faster.
– Rotate your wings downwards to dive.
– Rotate your wings upwards to raise.
– Lean left and right to turn.
– Rotate your wings opposite each other to turn sharply.

Probably the most potential to be the best experience I've played on VR. With that said, I've only played a small bit of time and so far, need more content. I realize this game is going to turn into multiplayer, but for the single player, please add more achievements. More environment. Epic story. Kinda reminds me of journey. Anyway, after the heat of a shooter, this is a good relaxer.

In this game, you control a bird in 3rd person, you dont take off or land, you glide or flap your wings to move faster/higher.
The flight mechanics are good, its not too hard, or too easy to manuever, graphics get better once you get to the "wooded" parts.
Performance is pretty good, but that is almost a given because of the simple graphics (that look really good).
Basically its a relaxing "on rails" 3rd person, bird flying simulator with good graphics and well done flight mechanics. Probably more of an experience than a game.
I think there will be many people that will love the game for its relaxing nature and flying vistas, and others that will dislike because its not that much of a game (if you dont want it to be)... overall i think its enjoyable.

This is simply one of the coolest and most beautiful d@mn things *I've* ever seen.
Please continue making this. This is truly unique, fun, serene, and has the perfect amount of challange.
Pros:
The game mechanics are intuitive, enchanting, and very, very fun.
Cons:
The game is a bit short, but this is correctable... Especially if enough of you buy it :)
