I loved how game communicates with the player - everything is contained in the game as it should be. I know how to play without reading the readme\/instructions on the webpage. The background music does its job in creating a military mood! Also, what I like is the difficulty of the game - it's neither too simple, not too difficult. The last, test level is indeed a lot of fun! One thing that I struggled with were reading the text during the gameplay - maybe making the text bigger and plane move slower would make reading easier (especially in the first level). Great job overall!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1201278,"author_name":"darkshadow","author_uid":"darkshadow","epoch":1776805453,"text":"Feels satisfying and crunchy despite the the lag on the web build!\n\nNice one, any game that makes you feel like gromit flying his little plane is great one!\n\n[Screenshot from 2026-04-21 21-59-41.png](\/\/\/raw\/bd8\/a3\/z\/72226.png)\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1203520,"author_name":"HelenaJaine","author_uid":"helenajaine","epoch":1776841892,"text":"I enjoyed operating the vehicle; the mechanics are wonderfully smooth.

I blame my instict from all other flight games to have y-axis inverted kept throwing me off. One thing I would say is make it faster to restart when you die instead of having to go through a couple of UI menus clicks. Especially for the main mission that never got further than 4s in. Its quite hard to judge collision form that first person perspective, third person would be better I think for this style of gameplay.
