Paper Plane Simulator 2007 by PolyWolf
Not 2017 because it's not that advanced.
Description: You are a paper plane (wow who'da thunk). As you fly, you eventually run out of power and crash. No real goal other than to maximize your speed, height, and distance over many runs, as well as have fun ;).
Click the buttons with your mouse, space to launch the plane, A and D to change the rotation. Esc to quit.
Running from build:
* Download file from link
* Extact game.zip to an appropriate location
* Run game.exe from within its folder
Running from source:
* Install Python 3.6 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
* Make sure to include pip when installing
* Run pip install pygame in the command line
* Run python game.py from within the source folder
Thanks to anyone who actually plays this game!

@c0nst4ntin Whoops, forgot to undo the space keybind after launch. Too late to fix that?
Malware alarms probably going off because it's too sensitive.
@xeinix I chose pygame for this because I didn't have experience with anything except Unity, and that can be a pain to set up.
@emanvidmaker Understandable, have a nice day
@boundtotheearth Yeah, I thought actual momentum power would be different from what everyone else would do. I was right sort of?
Anyways, a big thanks again to all who have rated and played my game! :)

If you get a malware alert just compile it from source if you are unsure. Who uses AV systems anyway?
good game

mind checking my game?: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/ready-handheld
The physics felt pretty good for the plane. I was able to get it about 72 feet.
I liked the physics on the paper, it is the strong part of the game and you did it very well.
There's a bug, I think, that when you already are flying, you can push the space button to give it a boost, but I saw that you already know that. (doesn't affect at all the coolness of the game, I think it's better this way)
There's another,tied to the space bug, that if you aim to the "sky" and continue to press space, eventually you will die, but the speed will be stuck on 10000 and the distance will be negative, like someone show above.
After all, I liked the game, and I think you implemented the concept very well.
Keep Coding!
Glad to see Python 3.6 make an appearance. I ran from source with no problems.
I managed 207 tapping space once, it's actually really challenging to try and maintain momentum this way, but really satisfying.
