Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we break down upcoming title Mika & the Witch's Mountain, and how its gameplay is able to flawlessly capture the exhilarating feeling of flight without neutering it, capturing an incredibly cozy and breezy feeling in a way as unique as it is simple!
