Age of Rust: Sidhe

I designed Age of Rust: Sidhe to focus on a simple flight mechanic.  The main character, a tiny flying fairy, maneuvers kind of like the birds in Williams' arcade classic Joust, except the player pushes up instead of rapidly tapping a button to gain altitude.  She has to be above her enemies to defeat them.  This allowed me to play with space, enemy paths, and timing obstacles in my level design.
