Do I have to collect every ring?
No. Red square parcels are required. Hollow feather rings are optional bonuses.
SPUNKY ORIGINALS
Gale Courier
Small parcels. High mountain winds.
What is Gale Courier?
A fox, a cloth glider and a valley full of wind gates. Your job is to carry each route's red parcels home. Height is easy to spend; lift is harder to save. Decide when to climb, when to coast, and when a feather ring is worth leaving the direct line.
How to play
Collect every red square parcel, pass through the gate openings, then reach the exit. Hitting a post or either edge of the valley ends the flight. Missing a parcel also ends the attempt; routes do not scroll backwards.
Holding lift uses 22 energy per second. Gliding restores 8; flying inside a pale wind band adds another 38. A feather ring restores 30. Wind can also push you up or down, so watch the ribbon's angle.
Finish for 1,000 points plus 5 per remaining lift and 100 per ring. Each route keeps only its best score. Your total is the sum of those bests; failures add nothing.
Controls
Keyboard: focus the game, then hold Space to rise and release it to glide. P pauses or resumes; R retries after a failed flight. Settings fields keep their normal keyboard behavior.
Touch or mouse: hold the large lift button below the valley. Release to descend. Use the visible pause, route map and retry buttons. Leaving the game or switching tabs pauses it and releases lift.
Key features
- 32 fixed routes, from two introductory flights to demanding sequences of wind bands, offset parcels and climbing turns. Retrying keeps the same layout.
- Optional rings compete with the safe delivery line. Collect one for lift and points, or keep your position for the next gate.
- Separate music and effects volume, reduced motion, a route map and saved personal records. No account is needed.

Questions before take-off
Why did the flight end after a gate?
A parcel was left behind, or the fox touched a post. Read the result message; the glider's wide sail is not the collision target.
What happens when lift is empty?
You cannot keep climbing. Release to recharge, enter a wind band or collect a ring; there is no separate jump button.
How do I unlock routes?
Complete a route to unlock the next. Finished routes stay available for better scores. The first two teach the basic loop.
Does replaying add the score again?
No. Only an improvement replaces that route's best. The total never counts repeated completions twice.
Can I play without sound?
Yes. Set either music or effects to zero independently. The parcel, wind and result feedback remains visible.
Will a retry change the route?
No. All 32 routes have fixed layouts, so you can learn a difficult turn and try it again.
Can I play on a phone or in an iframe?
Yes. Use the lift button and keep the whole valley in view. Storage and full screen depend on browser permissions; play still works if either is denied.
