First of all, great game. I really like the aesthetic. I feel like it could be a little more difficult though.

First of all, great game. I really like the aesthetic. I feel like it could be a little more difficult though.
Really cool game! I like the multitasking concept, and I'm a sucker for the graphics. Great work!
Really innovative concept! I'm not really sure what the controls are though? On mobile it seems they are way too sensitive; any touch is insta-loss. On PC it seems like nothing I do changes anything? Maybe some kind of indication that a button or joystick is being moved by ME, rather than by the ambient turbulence?
@mechanizedit It's hard to adjust the difficulty. Testing the game there are moments where it was very easy and others where it was impossible to control. I decided to leave it easier so that it would give you time to touch things and test them before dying without knowing why. Thanks for playing anyways!
@spolarium Thanks! The graphics is what I have tried the most to polish, I'm glad you like them. :smile:
@sawdust I understand the problem with the controls, I tried to make it "intuitive". If you hold the helm and tilt it you will turn the plane in that direction, with the lever on the left you can adjust your height. For that you have to click exactly the object you want to handle(I did not have time to make it more comfortable). Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do to improve it!! :thumbsup:
I feel like a master pilot now, had to crash just to stop and write this. ;) Very cool multi-tasking mechanic! But it breaks because I can't throttle and steer at the same time. Maybe an analogue joystick / arrow keys where up/down controls throttle and left/right controls ailerons? Smart art as well, where it's first-person *and* third-person at the same time!
(Yes, I had to google "ailerons", maybe not a pro pilot after all :sweat_smile:)
When I, an irresponsible pilot who clearly ignored all standard protocols, flew directly into the domain of a hurricane while barrel-rolling out of all control and being yammered at by the attitude indicator, it made me laugh out loud. This game is hilarious!
@martin-magni Sure you controlled the plane well ;). I made this decision in the controls because I had thought to add more panels, but due to lack of time I could not. I will consider changing it in the future. Thanks for playing!
@mathias-elgaard I see that you had a good experience, I'm glad you liked it so much! :D
Well Done Using the theme with this unique idea! I'd like to have seasons/weather (& birds?) If you update this! All the best for LD!
Made it 82 seconds :) The interplay between throttle and roll was a lot of fun to balance. It took me a few tries to learn that right-mouse was the main interaction, but after that I became an amazing pilot
@kymakesgames I understand that you did not understand the controls at the beginning, since I do not say them :sweat_smile: . I'm glad you liked it!
I think that it's a great concept for the theme, and I appreciated having some time to figure out the controls at the beginning before having to really get into the game. It took some time to figure out how to adjust the altitude in terms of finding the right place to click. I'm sure with more time you could add some more explanation of the controls into the game and adjust the sensitivity. Nice job for the jam!
All I can think of while I play is "Pull Up", "PULL UP!"
Nicely done!
Holy i love this game! Its definitely my favorite out of the 70 i played i have nothing to complain about the idea is amazing sound and graphics are great controls fun its just amazing good job man! good job
Actually incredibly fun! Imo sounds and mouse controls really make the "unstable" feel of the game much more exciting than I thought it would be The only thing I would love to see is more challenges or mechanics My PB btw is 603 sec >_>
The controls are really unique. The art style is nice too. I would prefer for the helm sensitivity was lower, because now even slight adjustments change the course of the plane by a lot. Anyway. Nice game!
