good game, I myself however found it a bit difficult in terms of control and I am constantly struggling to simply purchase enough fuel. However the game mechanic and the feeling of flying forward is satisfying.

Great game! I absolutely adored the polish to the death screen being a newspaper. It felt tragic when you died yet hopeful when you're faced with this funny newspaper. I enjoyed the very flowy controls as when I played for longer it made it more about learning the controls and mastering them rather than using strategic upgrades, (however if the game was supposed to rely on what to buy instead then I think that could use some polishing). Game had a very eye pleasing simplistic 3D design with an intuitive GUI. I just wish there was more meat to this game, although when a game leaves you wanting more than means you've done something right. Very cool concept, good music, funny end screens, and just an overall creative experience.

I got a good laugh when I discovered I could just fly in a circle, run out of fuel, and buy more fuel before I crashed.  Though this strategy didn't help me get further :-D.  The plane pitching is very sensitive.  Pitching too much results in an endless loop of overcorrecting until you finally crash.  Maybe that is by design and in that case well done!

Good strategy though! Thank you for your feedback :)

Found the controls a little difficult, but the newspaper death screen is very fun.

fun game overall. It did seem like often I would run out of fuel without any option to save myself due to a lack of money :(. I was also a little confused by the loops. Overall it was fun though good job.

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, it's punishing/random so you can definitely end up in no-win situations.

I really liked the aesthetic of this game, and I think that given more time it could be a lot of fun. It could just be that I'm not very good, but I found that the controls were a bit too touchy lol. Also, if you play poorly, as I did, if you fly backwards by accident you fall off the map, and then plumet to eternal doom because the game doesn't reset you. I really enjoyed the newspaper effect when you crash, I thought that was very creative

Thank you for your kind feedback, SarahGameDev! It's definitely in desperate need of polish and some guardrails against nasty backwardflying, game breaking humans!
