Foldable Glider
The Foldable Glider is a unique mode of transportation that spawns naturally in various parts of the map. They are usually found at the edge of tall cliffs, providing the player the opportunity to use them should they choose to.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
To use the Foldable Glider, the player must first equip it and find a sufficiently tall ledge to jump off from. When mid-air for around one second, the wings will catch the wind and allow the player to glide. Once airborne, the forward and backward movement keys will control the pitch of the glider. A level attached on the handlebar allows the player can see the angle they are gliding at all times.
Unequipping the glider using the Stash key (default: G on the keyboard) will put it into the inventory. Landing, hitting any solid geometry mid-flight or swimming will cause the Glider to drop, forcing the player to reequip it. There is no damage inflicted from the impact itself, even by smashing nose-first into the ground. However, it should be noted that if the player hits an elevated obstacle like a cliff face, subsequent fall damage will still occur.
Although the Foldable Glider can be carried while riding a Knight V, going airborne will automatically dismount the latter.
While the Foldable Glider isn't capable of transporting items, it does make for effective and often scenic transportation for the player. It functions as one would expect a glider to with no form of thrust, so it is best used starting from a higher part of the island to glide down. However, it is possible to gain altitude by nose-diving and pulling up as soon as the reticle of the level hits the bottom; the momentum gained during the descent will be able to thrust the player upward past their starting altitude. This can be done repeatedly to gain significant height.
