Bari - The Fisher Plane by Scruffy

[raw]
made by Scruffy for LD 41 (JAM)

​Embark on the finest plane of the Adriatic sea and help villagers to get food !! The game is inspired by Porco Rosso. We tried to make a plane fishing game focused on relaxing and flying and aircraft.

Use WASD or Arrows to control the plane. Shift to boost. Space to drop your shipment.

You have to fly around the sea to spot some fishes. You can then capture them by flying close to the surface of the water. You can then bring back your shipment to the villagers. You have to bring the right color of fish to the corresponding villages.

Thanks for playing :)

A game made by Nao Argouse, ​Victor Depardieu, Tim Guthmann, Boris Kolimaga, and Anton Salikhov.!

Aaaa the mood is super nice and the graphs are beautiful !!! The plane turns very slowly though, that's a bit frustrating when missing a group of fishes and not being able to turn back easily :^( Apart from that I loved it o/

Great! Excellent mood and graphics :)
The controls and general pace was just a little too slow for me but it's a really nice game.

really like the artstyle and the mood, the flight fzzling is quite good imo, but ynfortunately it makes the game quite hard and cluncky. but i guess you have to make choice

What a beautiful game ! This is by far the most beautiful water I've seen in a LD game ! I also really enjoyed the sound design and the quiet atmosphere, even if I feel like a few guitar chords here and there could add a lot to the mood.

Gameplay-wise, the arcade flight works well, but I was soon confused by the unability to pliot the plane with the mouse. The fish are a bit too fast and thus a little hard to catch for a plane that sometimes behaves strangely, but it did not prevent me from enjoying this relaxing experience.

Visuals are good, but why I can't smash my plane on the lighthouse? I even can't drown, man....

Loved the look and atmosphere, but fishing was really difficult. Plane didn’t turn quickly enough and doing small corrections to to align yourself with the schools of fish made plane turn too much. Also tilting and moving camera exactly with the plane felt “wrong”, maybe show little more on the side where plane is turning? I also managed to lost the plane couple of times by flying too steep angle through the water and seeing underneath it. I really like the idea and atmosphere, but the gameplay needs more work in my opinion.

The game seemed really enjoyable at first glance but it's hard to control corretly the plane (too much rigid). Also, i wasn't able to catch any fish. In fact i was more angry than relaxed after trying for 5 minutes to grab one fish :/ I think some assist system could be nice.
That's unfortuante because i wanted to fly over the see to catch fish.

Looks amazing!
The fishing part looked a bit simplistic but is enough for its purpose.
Loved that relaxing mood although the turns felt too loose and slow sometimes.
Excellent work!

Fantasic. I only wish there was a propeller sound. Everything else is just perfect.

The graphics are incredible, I have a hard time understanding how you came up with this in 72 hours only, it's totally mind-boggling! The Porco Rosso theme is fantastic, what's not to like <3

Now I'd say there's some improvement to be considered in other areas for next time:
-the fact it looks so good can be a good or a bad thing - it lags like crazy and makes the game really slow on my old laptop - I'll try'n check it again on my new one I'm getting this week-end if I receive it on time, but in the meantime making a game that will work properly on powerful laptops only reduces your audience, it's something to take into consideration
-the controls are too simplistic for a plane game I'd say - it's really complicated to aim correctly with "right and left" only, with the movement of the camera and all, I'd argue for this type of games, more complicated and precise controls that use more keys are better
-it's a shame you didn't invest more time in the sound design, it would have been a great occasion to make the whole thing come together, with the Porco Rosso theme and all :-D
-it's a bit odd that it's not possible to crash the plane into the environment or into the water IMO

All in all it's an impressive game, if you can come up with something as good-looking and equally impressive in the other areas of the game for next time, you'll win big for sure :-D
