How does your game fit the theme?
The Red Count is a plane experiencing mechanical issues. It's a play on military jargon, as in Black Hawk Down

As an aviation enthusiast, I absolutely loved the idea!
Thanks for playing!
very fun idea, plane physics were on point. Nearly crashed because I nose-dived almost the entire way down, but that's one way to land a plane I suppose :D Congrats on the submission!
Thank you. I made the feel of the plane controller my priority.
Fun game, i like the idea and gameplay. Very cool plane physics, i appreciate it.
Thanks. I see that you've also made a plane game. Will check it out
Red Count has landed, over! And who put those anvils up there on parachutes? But seriously this is great! The controls feel really good!
That's a mystery never to be answered I'm affraid lol. Thank you for playing
Really fun and polished! Control is really pleasant
Thank you for appreciating it, I really tried to make it feel nice
This is quirky and enjoyable. I liked the sense of humour, and the all the mechanics worked perfectly. Nice work!
Thanks for checking the game out!
The air controls were good at it's really fun! I have discovered the optimal strategy of going into a nose dive and hoping for the best.
Yes, you can do that, I didn't want to put to many restrictions on the player movement so as to no make the game too hard. If you figure a way to "cheese" the game, you've earned it! Thank you for engaging with it!
As a war thunder player, this entry made feel right at home lol.
The aircraft physics are quite good, and controlls feel on point.
A liked that you bascly allow the player to land watever it wants, intead to force to go for an airfield.
Maybe a few gronud obtacles would be a nice addition?
And i really liked the interpretation of the theme !
well done
Land objects were on my list for extras but in the end decided to give it a rest. Thank you for playing!
bro you are absoulte developer
your game is so good
can you try my game please
Omg, this was so fun to play!! the instructions made it feel like I had some direction and wasn't blindly trying to land. But it also left space for me to dodge obstacles myself, which was very fun! Super cute and enjoyable game (n_n) great job!!
Thank you for playing!
It’s fun to play; dodging planes flying right at you is a blast. The graphics might look simple, but I really liked them—they have a unique style, and it feels incredibly atmospheric, especially when you can see the ground below. The only downsides are the long load times and occasional lag in the web version. Otherwise, I enjoyed it :)
Yep, the load times are a bummer, didn't really have much time to investigate further. Thanks for enjoying
If you did the voice for the count, thats so cool, if not, its still amazing. Also i just saw the pun in the description omg how many more red counts will they send?
I did the intro voiceover and a the one after you land. The computer commands are made with some ancient speech synthesis program
That was fun! Funny enough, we also made a plane game! Hope you'll try ours :)
Just did, thank you!
Such a simple mechanic and premise, yet it is so addicting and fun to play. Loving the voice alerts.
Thank you for playing!
This is so fun, the flight controller is great and the objects are fun to dodge
Thanks for playing!
