Linux
You'll have to build it for yourself. See Readme.md on GitHub for instructions.
Windows
The attached build was compiled for Windows 10, but will most likely work on other Windows versions and has been successfully tested on Windows 7.

The issue with the plane instantly exploding should be resolved now.

@very-bad-bunny-studio I included the VC++ runtime DLLs, including the one you were missing, but no promises that that's enough to make it work. Compiling yourself on Linux would be a safer bet :)
I would recommend slowing down the fuel. It was hard to move to get to it. Also, maybe add some obstacles to avoid.
Congrats on using c++, that's no easy feat.
Nice job!
Overall, good job!
Interesting project. The only thing I'd point out is that I tried to access the options but doing it so makes the game language change to German (?). Not sure if this is a Windows only issue or something else. Anyway, congrats for the game!
I'd expect for the plane to slowly descend when fuel is out, and crash at the bottom :D
My only complaint is about how tricky it is to control the plane, and in such a precise way to collect the tiny gas cans :( holding keys was behaving weirdly, so I just started mashing the keys to control the plane better.
Kudos for using C++ though, this is crazy!

@miltonnh25 @xariusexcl I found to issue regarding the input delay and fixed it, but as it is not a game breaking bug, I didn't publish an updated version for the jam.
@pixelstuff @mateu Things to avoid (and a bunch of other things) were on my to-do list as from the beginning, but I didn't have time to implement it :/
@megalukes I wanted a submenu to open when clicking "options" - but the deadline had already passed, so I just didn't have time to implement that and it stayed an experimental language switch :) Anyway, thanks for the bug report! :)
@axonny Same goes for the highscore - the option in the menu is there, but the time to add the functionality was not :D
@joeshanahan Thanks for linking the video here - seeing someone play the game really made my day :)
See you all at the next jam!
