Really difficult too, I ended up hovering in one spot and ejecting into planes when they flew past!

It's fun to play this simple addictive but very hard game.

Was considering some pilot air control. But ran out of time before getting to explore the idea.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I do a post-compo version. Adding sound is probably first on the list. Pilot air control would be next. Unfortunately I had to cut a lot of ideas after I burned most of the weekend trying to get the plane physics feeling nice."},{"author_name":"burgerdare","author_uid":"29805","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:01pm","epoch":1387209360,"text":"difficulty is fine, so long as the difficulty curve is reasonable. It may have been wise to start the player off with larger enemy planes, making it a bit easier for them to land jumps, then have the challenge ramp up with smaller, nimbler planes.\r<br\/>I know there's a fun and rewarding game hidden in here somewhere, but I shouldn't have to work so hard to find it."},{"author_name":"Zekyon","author_uid":"20619","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 1:19am","epoch":1387242840,"text":"Oh my god, really hard game.
