Great Job!
But the theme and music are really soothing ! Totally had a good time ! :)
@sokette Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! Frankensteined the unity physics-system with some kind of pseudo-flight physics that I made up in a hypercaffeinated state. Tried to patch it up as good as I could😂.
@angrybeard Cheers! Thanks for playing!
I also had a little trouble understanding the physics. After a while the plane starts going too vertically, even after managing to collect the pickups. But I guess that's the point, the fall is inevitable :slight_smile:
The one thing this game needs, in my humble opinion, is a leaderboard (I got 77 m, by the way :slight_smile:).
Overall, great job!


I'm guessing the score distance is rounded up, while the distance counter in the top-right of the screen isn't?
It could use a little more feedback, both on the launching angle and the upgrades. I felt like the "Lift" upgrade didn't really do that much to increase my air time.
