Amazing game for doing it in 4 days! I loved a lot the controls. The only feedback that I can say is that I strugged to find the power button for start the plane.
Remarkably well polished for a 4 day project. Very impressive. I couldn't really play it with any competency, but then again, I'm not really a flight simulator guy. I still commend you for the work put in.
all of this in just 4 days?! amazing work!
I really loved the graphics, they look amazing! I’m a big fan of this type of simulation game, it’s exactly my style. The music fits perfectly and makes the game even more fun to play. It’s a bit challenging at times, but that actually makes it feel more realistic. Great job, especially for something made in such a short time!
Our fellow sky writers! I really didn't think someone else would have this same idea, that's awesome to see. We took two completely different routes too, I love your more frenetic and chaotic interpretation of sky writing as opposed to our cozy approach, it really makes for completely different play experiences. Great work, gang good job on the jamming!
I'm something of a bedroom pilot myself, this'll be easy... Oh good loorrd whats happening? Why does my loop look like a spoon? Ha ha lots of fun though - very well done!
this is better than microsoft flight simulator 2020
What a well made game! It's difficult, yes, but the plane feels very nice to control. Nice job!
Immediately crashed into a building. 10/10
Great game, this is such a unique take on the theme. I like the art style a lot too. Though I hope I could control the plane's roll axis, because I kept crashing myself while changing the direction lol.
The visuals and vibes of this feel so good and so comforting, and then once that plane is in the sky all I can think is "oh no these folks on the radio put way too much trust in me, letting me pilot this thing!" because it really felt like flying a plane... right down to the detail that I have no idea how to fly a plane! I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to not crash into the ocean and turn back towards the city, and when I finally was at the balloon I had completely approached it from the wrong angle. Maybe I'm just really unfamiliar with flight simulators! It was a strange mix of relaxed and cozy vibes while I'm sitting here like "oh gosh oh no I have no idea how to control this thing" haha.
Perfect! You experienced exactly what we were hoping
A really creative take on the theme, and having any sort of flight simulator set up in the time of a jam is impressive! I did really struggle to even get lined up with the balloon when it came to that part. Without having some sort of rudder control it's hard to turn and stay oriented at the same time, I had to go nearly upside down at times to turn the way I wanted to! I still had a lot of fun just flying around though, good work!
This game was a lot of fun for me. When I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot. Most games simplify flying too much. But this game struck nice ballance where it felt like actually flying a plane and not just controlling it with controller. Loved all the details like radio, multiple buttons that I didn’t understand, the flying physics were great.
Only thing is that I wasn’t able do draw very well. Also camera was too low in the cockpit in my opinion. I couldn’t even see infront of me.
But still I really enjoyed this game.
This game is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the flight mechanic. I think I found a little issue with the WebGL, where after a while it started lagging until it stopped working completely. I'd love to see a more complete version of this, maybe focused more on exploration. Great job!
Took me a little while to get the hang of, but once I got the controls going, I was a bit thrown off by the balloon portion; I did a loop with the smoke on, but do I need to do the loop around the balloon?
turning was a little sensitive but overall fun to try and fly around still! =] nice work folks!
This game is awesome but a couple quality of life things would be great. Like add a button for smoke and a red dot representing my plane on that screen an the game is a banger
This game was very cool. It was definitely too hard for me, but still fun flying the plane around the island nonetheless. I did notice that I could engage the breaks in the air which did not seem intentional but it helped me a lot.
I liked how the chaotic nature of the game just came about, it wasn't forced, and it was a nice middle ground from being too easy to being impossible. The plane physics are impressive, (except I crashed on the runway with the break engaged, LOL). Good game
Maybe I just don’t have a knack for flying planes—I felt all turned around playing this game. But the game itself is really fun! It has nice visuals, great playability, and a storyline that draws players in. The background music is also excellent. It’s a really fantastic piece of work.
This was really cool! I really enjoyed getting the hang of flying the plane. was definitely challenging to figure out the right lineups but i really enjoyed playing!
One thing I’d look into, sometimes the text was hard to read against light backgrounds. maybe and outline on the text would help.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed your time with it!
