Greetings, Pilot! Can you go the distance? Fly your biplane as far as you can. Be on the lookout for fuel drops delivered by parachute!
Game is a little too easy... But imagine what it'd be like if I had time to add geese and other obstacles. :smile:
Made with Godot Engine 2.1
Windows and Mac builds are untested. Let me know if they work or not for you. Thanks.
UPDATE: I just got the HTML5 export working. Hopefully it works for you. If not, please let me know and/or try the downloadable version instead. Thanks!

Easy game but it's satisfying to fly around through the clouds :)
Good job!
The sound effects work pretty well. I like how natural the engine sound feels. A bit of music would've gone a long way though.
The gameplay is very smooth and it's unfortunate that you didn't have time to add more obstacles or something. It's really fun to play, but after a while it gets boring and I never came close to running out of gas.
Really good foundation for a full game. Great job.
I really like the "one key" mechanics and the overall impression is perfect.
It's true that you can add a lot of things to it, but it's great as it is.
Very nice casual game, cute graphics.
You need to release this on the appstore, that would be a perfect phone/tablet game :D
- Graphics are perfect, attention to detail was amazing (loved the scarf flying in the wind)
- Loved doing loops after loops after loops, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
- Cute cloud design
- Really simple mechanics making it easy to grasp and understand.
(On windows 7 + dual screen, I couldn't run the game fullscreen)
Next step would be to rework the difficulty by adding some content, had to stop because the game was just becoming repetitive after a score of 70000+ :)
I loved the progression of the engine sound of the airplane, it is very well done.
The art is very neat, too. Great game! :D
Graphics are perfect and the sound fit well.
But it's a little simple ^^ There are no obstacles and too bad there is no ground. With more things it can be a really strong game and perfect for mobile.
I really enjoy the feeling of flying with this plane ^^ Just a lack of challenge.
Good job !
The graphics are too bright, try to saturate a little the colors. And is kinda pixelated on fullscreen.
Would be funnier to have a little extra control maybe (a 10 degree direction change while 'speeding', so you have a little more to do aside from going up maybe)
The points maybe counted as you go UP and RIGHT, and go down as you retrace. Would be more adventurous than just flying.
Aside that (and the lack of some extra difficult) is particularly fun :)
Really liked doing loops :D
The control felt really good and the overall experience was really fun and also relaxing! :D
Good Job there!
