Brace Yourself by PaperMartin
Your plane is crashing . Your goal is to get as far as possible before that happens.
You can try to raise the nose of the plane to get further, but not forever, so you gotta save it for when you know it'll be efficient : Inside air currents, in which you will go back up much faster than outside of them
You also have to avoid mountains, which will make your plane instantly crash.
Made for Ludum Dare 50, the theme was "Delaying the inevitable"
Controls :
W / DPad up / Left Joystick up to raise the plane
A and D / DPad left and right / Left Joystick left and right to move left or right
Enter or A to restart after a game over

I thought it was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed the dramatic pause before the plane exploded.
Congratulations!
thanks for playing !
Finally got to 178, it feels like there's so little extra to gain. Does the "point nose up power" regain somehow?
