Volo Airsport is a rather difficult game about gliding through the air, and we have some keys for you lovely Linux gamers. I've tested it out personally and it's quite difficult, hilariously difficult. It will take a while to get the hang of it, as the control scheme is pretty unique.
Direct Link
It's in Early Access, so we will give it some full thoughts at release, or once there's some more to it if the release is far off.
About the game (Official)
Volo Airsport is for those who fly like birds whenever they close their eyes.
Take to the skies and fly past mountains in a wingsuit. Try to hug the cliffs at over 250 km/h or cruise at high altitudes and admire the scenery.
Your body and gear are fully physically simulated. You fly by controlling your character's muscles directly, which changes your pose, which interacts with the air around you. You can see, hear, and feel every gust of wind as you pass it.
Keys to give away
Just answer me this: Why do you want to fly like a bird?
I will pick winners during next week.
Competition is over!
Check out Volo Airsport on Steam now if you can't wait.
I wanna get better at tricking gravity! I've never got the knack of missing the ground when throwing myself at it - although I can be easily distracted, in those situations it seems that I just have no luck.
A pair of wings would improve this situation very much!
Any other tips for a novice-flyer? I heard about those clubs mentioned in the Guide but never found one :-(
I want to soar faster than any man has every soared!
I want to look down on the clouds with contempt.
I want to sneer at God's creation, and spit on his... *fails to dodge the virtual ground*

Did you try it with a controller / gamepad, or mouse and keyboard? Is it playable with mouse and keyboard at all?

i played with controller and it works great. note that it has very steep learning curve which is one of the things i like most in this game. it's not something you just get into. i'd suggest watching the video tutorial as 1st thing you do. it will spare you a lot of deaths which only happen until you realize difference between plane and gliding
about keyboard and mouse i can just speculate, but based on how much work was done on being able to customize controls... it shouldn't be any worse than controller. and it is even more so since this is Unity game where controller is usually terrible. developers really did their job
also, why do i want to fly? because sliding on my belly in Tuxracer needed upgrade after so many years ;) it is first game with speed done correctly after tux
