fantastic presentation man, good job :)

madflame991 2011-08-22 07:46

very good work. I am impressed. Its fun to play and looks awesome!

matthias_zarzecki 2011-08-22 11:47

Nice work. Especially with the minimalist graphics.

wonderwhy-er 2011-08-22 14:36

Wah, nice graphics man, and sounds. And game is somewhat fun. Great work.

mattrix 2011-08-22 17:25

Great game, really fun, and it looks great too. Once you play it for a while you really start to get the flow and it actually has a lot of depth. There's nothing more satisfying than flying into the air, turning into a tank, shooting down an enemy plane, and then turning back into a plane... except for when you do it while doing a backflip, hah :)

My highest score is 5900, but I bet I could pass 6000 or 7000 if I played a little bit more.

Beautiful, and it has great music as well. Most of all, it was fun!

kavudx 2011-08-22 19:01

WOW. I can't believe you made this in 48 hours all by yourself.
This one is TRULY great, I would play it on kong thinking it was just another great flash/unity game.

My only complains would be the lazors beam being the same color as the background sometimes, which makes it hard to notice who's shotting at who.

Also, I didn't see any heavy purpose or incentive on using the jet engine.

beeci 2011-08-23 07:35

Awesome feeling, beautiful graphics!

kinta 2011-08-23 09:50

Great graphics, nice gameplay, good sound, overall a very good game. :)

maskedpixel 2011-08-23 10:44

Very nice. This game is gorgeous, fun and plays well.

mes 2011-08-23 11:45

very nice. looks cool and it's even fun to play.

arron-fowler 2011-08-23 13:47

Looks great, plays great, is great.

bmfs 2011-08-23 15:59

Looks plain awesome!

hybridmind 2011-08-23 17:16

Very very awesome! Love the atmosphere and physics. The game is just quite fun to play. One of my favorite moments is transforming into flight mode and soaring over tanks only to drop down onto them and the running men once you fuel runs out. Great job!

supersausagedog 2011-08-23 18:34

I love how getting flipped upside down dosen't break the flow, as you can just turn into a jet and keep on going. Slick.

mlb 2011-08-23 18:44

Nice looking game. Only bummer was that my tank flipped over on almost every soldier I ran over, which took out way too much speed out of the game :(

richmakegame 2011-08-23 19:19

this game is awesome, particularly 'fly mode' which I almost missed! my only crit would be to add the velocity of the vehicle onto the bullet, cos if you get really fast you can almost outrun your own bullets! anyway, one of my favourites so far!

gornova 2011-08-23 20:01

Presentation is great but I have some problems in control my tank/hovercraft :(

winterblood 2011-08-23 23:49

Wonderful. Great atmosphere, music, animation, art and balancing. I really can't fault it!

triplefox 2011-08-24 00:45

I was confused by the control scheme the first time I played(managed to skip the instructions by accident and expected left/right to be "accelerate"). The second time I "got it" although it ran sluggishly for me on this laptop.

Very nice looking game.

shigor 2011-08-24 06:53

Excellent video and audio, quite funny game

bach 2011-08-24 09:20

Fantastic little game. Love the atmosphere!! Controls are a little hard at times but overall top game.

wonderwhy-er 2011-08-24 09:31

Wow, best game I played so far, fantastic graphic, cool sounds, fun game play. Good work man.

rudy 2011-08-24 15:22

Looks great, but gets repetitive quick. I love the high speed driving/flying, but wonky physics and short sight range somewhat spoil that.

makc 2011-08-24 17:37

awww, only 1964 meters :(

wirtualnosc 2011-08-24 20:11

I love it. It's the best game I played so far. Good work! :)

johnfn 2011-08-25 06:07

Sooooooo pretty. I'm so impressed by your graphical abilities, especially in 48 hours.

vladp 2011-08-25 10:37

Cool game, awesome graphics and sound but the controls are pretty annoying. Every time I fell upside down I was stuck and every time I was entering the fly mode it automatically switched back after a couple seconds so I couldn't fly D: maybe I got something wrong...

vladp 2011-08-25 10:49

Now I found out that there is a fuel and now it makes a lots of difference. The tank/plane idea is very coll and very fun but still too bad you can't shot forward because you're gonna hit your self. Overall one of the top games no doubt.

jazeker 2011-08-26 19:38

I love this game, great grafics and pretty adictive. well done!

susanthecat 2011-08-27 04:12

My son is addicted to this game.

brighterorange 2011-08-27 18:17

Really nice graphics and atmosphere! The first time I played I got upturned right away and it was very hard to recover from that. Second time I made it 3km. I would have liked it if there was some kind of end in sight other than losing all my health (a lot of injuries seemed random and hard to avoid), but a real polished game otherwise...

dogbomb 2011-08-28 13:54

Great fun and excellent presentation. For some reason I really struggled with the fly mode though. Either my head is just not working, or it really wasn't taking off for me. It'd be nice if the craft lifted automatically from the ground a few CM to give the user the air-control... I was just dragging my sorry-ass along the ground.

Nice idea though. Reminded me a little of Spycatcher, with the vehicle changing... maybe add water/boats next? :D

refrag 2011-08-29 20:45

Definitely the funnest LD21 game I've played so far.

tcstyle 2011-08-31 19:31

Impressive game. I like the overall look. But what is the raising fuel supposed to mean?
In my first play I got stuck on top of an enemy tank which I couldn't should but was shooting my bottom side.

pekuja 2011-09-03 19:10

Fantastic game. I got up to 6109 meters. I really love the plane/car switch mechanic, especially because I found it to have multiple uses: stabilizing your vehicle, flying above groups of enemies, helps in maintaining your momentum.

The one major criticism that I do have is that you should really add autofire to the gun. It's just not that fun to have to keep hammering the button, and it's probably not good for your mouse either. :P

I think this game could get really interesting if you added more enemy types and maybe boss fights and stuff. The mechanics could support a larger game.

uuav 2011-09-04 11:10

wow great game, I like the mood those great graphics provide!

Shadow 2011-09-04 14:39

Love the mood. A few minor physics problems though(I still don't know how come a dude was standing high in mid air firing his gun at me but...). A great entry indeed. Love it.

dudekazoo 2011-09-13 13:24

Loved the game. Great atmosphere and music. First try I made 1000 meters. Second try I figured out how the jet works and made it over 20,000. :) The dichotomy between the tank and jet forms works phenomenally.
