Whisperthorn

Fly. Race. Mind the shark.
Whisperthorn is a multiplayer flying game for witches, set in a voxel world. Gather in the hall with up to 20 players, then ride through a series of rites: race through rings, shoot open sealed rune gates, deliver potions without spilling, or duel with fire for your familiars.Speed is a skill
There is no boost button. Speed comes from how you fly, as it does in a real aeroplane.
Dive to build speed, climb and you spend it.

Wide, clean turns keep your momentum. Hard turns bleed it away.

Hold a top speed and it fades only slowly, so a fast line stays fast.

Hit the brake to cut into a corner, then dive to win the speed back.
Easy to start, deep to master
Fly with W, A, S, D and the mouse. When you want more, hold Shift for acro flight.
Barrel roll: tap Shift with A or D for a clean roll on a straight line.

Acro mode: hold Shift and A/D rolls the broom, with no turning and the attitude held, so you can fly inverted or on a knife-edge.

Loops: hold Shift and pull back to go over the top. The camera follows you all the way round.

Advanced moves: Immelmann turns, split-S, double and triple rolls.

Every trick is named on screen, scores bonus points, makes your broom flare and gives you a small burst of speed.
A world that bites back
Sharks cruise under the waves and leap out at you. If one catches you with its head out of the water, it drags you under.

Birds fly alone and dive-bomb you if you get close.

Rare, giant dragons sleep in their lairs. Come near one and it will hunt you, and its fire will knock you out in a single breath. Run.

Stone golems, spirit stags in the blossom groves, schools of fish, weather and a full day and night cycle.
Magic that looks like magic
Aim with the mouse and your spells fly to the cursor: comet-tailed bolts, layered explosions and fire salvos, with one glowing gauge for both health and mana.Race together, or against the clock
Up to 20 players in a Steam lobby, with a LAN fallback.

Rival witches flown by the computer, from gentle to fierce, so a lobby is never empty.

Time trial: fly the same course against your own best, with F1-style sector colours.

Rites: Ring Run, Potion Run, Rune Gates, Lantern Gathering and the Familiar Duel inside a closing storm.

Steam achievements, some of which make fun of your friends.
Music
An original soundtrack: a fast electronic theme for the race, songs in the Phrygian and Mixolydian modes, and a calm Lydian piece for the hall.
