It's a really wonderful game, but after I built my third runway, a plane stuck on the third runway's entrance. And the third runway was occupied forever.

Thanks for the feedback!

An interesting idea, rather annoying how you cant build in an area if youve accidentally added a single square in there already. This would be a cool game to play without the theme aswell!

Thanks! I didn't make it to bulldoze tool in my task list. πŸ™‚ Consider it a permadeath sandbox, then!

Cool idea, fun little builder! Would like to see this fleshed out!

Thanks!

Yeah, I second the plane sticking to the beginning of the runway (for me it occurred for both third and fourth runway). Maybe something to do with them being connected by a taxiway corner? Anyway, good effort for compo.

Good job on the jam!

Great game, it took me a bit to understand what I was doing wrong at first but when I got it, it was a pretty fun idle game. I can see this being a great "Airport tycoon" with more polish. :D

nice game. It's a lot of idle time before you can really start adding more stuff. It's a nice idea.

Fun builder with a cool premise. I wish you success as you advance with this game after LD. I really think you should continue it further.

Fun game, but hard to start.. at least it took me a while to get started. Too bad about the audio, but hey, it's a compo πŸ™‚

I dig the idea. Didn't really understand what I was meant to do at first but once I did it was enjoyable. Nice job, and I hope you develop it further in the future :)

Thanks for the feedback! It definitely needs some tutorials or similar to get the player started. πŸ‘

Really neat concept! I must admit, I had a little trouble getting started. Maybe I'm just bad at reading directions, but I was struggling a bit with the building requirements. BUT once it all clicked I started really enjoying it. It was a exciting moment when my first plane landed. I think your game has some good legs and could be expanded. Minor post jam tweaks I'd add - a bulldozer, and I'd adjust the resolution so your build tiles aren't so tiny. Otherwise, great game and application of the theme!

Nice game) reminds me what I played on the phone, where you need to land planes by drawing trajectories

Thanks!

Building requirements are a bit unintuitive, but with a bit of polish could be fun little game. Spent way too long playing it.

grilladroid 2022-10-07 09:56 ♥ 0

Thank you for the feedback! Definitely the game needs to explain why something cannot be built.

A great tycoon game! I would love to see it expended upon with more features related to airports like driveway for example.

Good job for a compo!

Thanks!

What a fun relaxed (aka youtube on the second monitor) tycoon game! The building requirement took some trial and error, but after that the game was quite intuitive and clear (in a minimalistic way). I really wanted to be able to delete old taxiways (when I had designed a better layout).

Cool game! Hard to understand at first, but then it's quite interesting to play. It's impressive that you didi this alone in compo, great job!

gabriel-chan 2022-10-08 16:53 ♥ 1

Really cool concept! I wish the building requirements were easier to figure out, it took me a long time to figure out how it worked.

How can I play this? Did you remove the game link?

grilladroid 2022-10-17 04:14 ♥ 1

It’s available only on this page, through the new LD embed feature. Press play on the cover image? @ukulelefury

ukulelefury 2022-10-17 14:18 ♥ 1

@grilladroid Ah, oops! I somehow thought the big box with a play button was a YouTube trailer, not the game embed!

sparkinex 2022-10-17 22:35 ♥ 2

Nice idea! As some others have mentioned I also had some trouble getting started but once I got it figured out it went smoothly. Not a big deal but there was a bunch of overlapping UI elements making it unplayable I had to adjust my browser zoom to in order to get it to display normally.

Interesting idea for a game. The system for building could use some work, though. It should be possible to remove tiles that are already built, and build on top of tiles of the same type. A guide that tells you the size of what you're building would also be nice.
