Simple, but solid gameplay! It was surprisingly difficult to get past level1. 2 turrets was just too much for me :shrug:
I loved the idea of carpet bombing aerosol :)

its like a conspiracy theory type of game, never seen that idea being used, real nice ... perhaps some more effects when the airplane realeases the gas would be nice, other mechanics would also be nice like having to slow down the airplane when you release the gas

Nice game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8gcHVPkzZQo

The mix of Asteroids-style controls with area coverage is interesting. It's pretty challenging but the mechanics are solid and fair. Might be more accessible if it eased into the difficulty (i.e., use a larger payload area in earlier levels and introduce turrets on level 2).

I love 😍 the mechanics that allow you to choose between going near the turrets and spread some gas or waiting for the people to die. 🤔 Maybe an strategy to win is to spread some gas and let the airplane fly where he can't be killed.

Really fun game, I loved it! The controls are smooth and the game-play is perfectly balanced. It was really satisfying to hear the coughs of the puny population :sweat_smile: Well done!

Solid gameplay, but it didn't hook me in. Sorry. I appreciated that you have finished it on your own! Graphics and audio are harmonized together.

I've been part of the spraying crew for quite a while now, and this is nothing like real life.
