You're returning from an expedition to the jungle with your plane's hold packed and quite pleased with your plunder. Who could forsee that someone like you would run out of luck?

The plane is plummeting, the engines are failing and your loot is slipping away.

You'll have to get rid of some of your sweet spoils to save the remaining. Oh, right, and yourself too.

But will you be able to tell apart the useless junk you've hoarded from the valuable goods in the heat of the moment?

Remember: your reputation depends on your success!

Great game! The sound hints are really good. Funny, I had to get rid of everything to win.

I really like this game concept! Interesting take on the theme.

And of course your graphics are marvelous, but you already knew that... ;-)

Nice idea, I wasn't really sure what to do so I simply threw everything out :p cool UI, nice graphics but a bit to bright for me.

I loved every single part of this game *(itch.io page included)*. Simply amazing !

great graphics and sound!! love the feel of the game.
the idea is amazingly witty and clever, but winning seems impossible...

great work overall!

I love this game.
The visuals are very nice and cute, and the gameplay is just so funny. Hearing the animals inside the boxes your hurling out of the plane to prevent a horrible, fiery death is heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time. I found myself francticly scrambling to put all the stuff in order.
Great job with this one, I really, really enjoyed it.

@kloscunha Thanks very much!:D

AHaha great art and concept! I think it would be amazing to play it as multiplayer / local or split screen and get into different compartments. Good JOB!

Luqey

05. Dec 2018 · 18:51 UTC

As I'm going to basically be repeating what everyone already said, I'll keep it short... I love the art it's genuinely amazing. It is kinda difficult, but other than that just amazing entry, good luck!

Graphics and audio are really nice in the game but I didn't enjoy it very much. I think one reason was the game wasn't too responsive to what I was doing. I didn't really know half the time if I did the right thing. Especially when I had to throw things on one side for the first time, because it didn't work, like, 2-3 first times I tried it. Also had no idea when the journey will end. Some more feedback from the game would be nice. It's pretty short as well since you can finish the game under a minute.

Stressful lol, tried throwing myself off the plane to save it, unsure if plane survived or not xD. This was good though, I think my high score was something like 300? Really solid experience.

The game is really great! I love the sounds and visuals!

Good 3D games are rare in Ludum, very nice work !

Nice graphics and visual feedback (indicators). It's very cool that you decided to use them, instead of ordinary HUD.
SFXs are wonderful as well!
The game design looks solid and tough.

Maybe, some additional info about plane's tilt might help a player to decide which stuff should be throw out in the first place.
Speaking about me, I just tried to throw everything to return the indicators to the "green" state.
That's the reason why I came to the destination point without cargo at all :laughing:

In total - a really great entry! I enjoyed it very much.

Very nice low poly! I like that kind of graphics :D

PabloDap

Thanks a lot everyone for your nice comments!!!

@pxlucasf Thanks a lot! It's nice to know the extra work you put on the page is appreciated! :D

@tpamir That's actually a really good idea, thank you!

@vincent-blot @nettleflap When the plane starts tilting you have to throw things to one side to put it back to its normal position. If the indicator didn't hit green yet, you have to keep going. Of course, the weight alarm can go off at the same time and you also have to throw cargo out.

@bbaf We made the indicators a bit ambiguous on purpose. You might need to just throw two or three little boxes but you become frantic and throw too many out, so you have to be a bit cautious. And what you decide to throw out it's entirely up to you. As a rule of thumb, the big boxes weigh more than the medium (long) ones, and those in turn weigh more than the small ones. You might want to win with a couple of fat chickens left, or you want to remain with gold-filled trunks.

I like, immediately started a box avalanche trying to grab something from too far towards the front of the plane, and things got chaotic. This is super fun, looks great, and has a real character of its own, great job!

08. Dec 2018 · 01:20 UTC

Neat game, i love the idea, but like others said, it's a bit hard to tell that what you're doing is impacting the fate of the plane. I also don't know if i won or lost, seeing as the screen fades to black and the game restarts! But it was quite fun all things considered, great graphics and idea!

PabloDap

08. Dec 2018 · 13:51 UTC

@homeworld If the screen fades to black, you lost. (There should be a crash sfx, but it might have been lost or faded during the last builds).

If you won there's an inventory listing of everything you saved, along with its prices and your total earnings. You can also win with 0 earnings if you had to throw everything out but saved the plane and yourself.

Sounds and visuals where really great!, It was hard and a bit stressful, great way of using the theme!

Esosek

08. Dec 2018 · 20:27 UTC

Stunning graphics! I liked the sound effects and music. Overall game feel is awesome and idea is original but it lacks some more depth because I just did not want to play more. Anyway really great submission and keep it up, you are very talented! ;)

Game was pretty difficult at first, but I eventually got the hang of it. Nice visuals!

Interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Ow-xrYDXDFE

I was a big fan of this game stylistically but gameplay wise it felt like I did not have enough to do. I can either throw cargo off or switch it from left to right. If the plane was tilting then the obvious thing to do would be to pick up the cargo and put it on the other side or just throw it off.

Mr ChocolateSalmon

10. Dec 2018 · 22:45 UTC

Really great game! Felt polished, balancing the plane was fun, and the graphics were beautiful :chicken:

This is awesome ! Great art style, I love it. Love the concept too, it's really fun to play and it works perfectly. The sounds effects inside the boxes are great and add greatly to the fun. Great job !

Zielon

11. Dec 2018 · 21:48 UTC

Graphics are beautiful. Gameplay is simple, but I loved throwing cargo around. I really enjoyed the game. Well done :)

Rebecca Kremer

11. Dec 2018 · 23:07 UTC

Very nice graphically, and it was very fun to pick things up and throw them around ^_^
I wasn't really able to guage what cargo pieces to throw and which to keep, since nothing I did really seemed to change the tilting of the plane?
Either way, I enjoyed the sound design and the premise is solid :)

Thanks a lot everyone for your nice comments!!!
And sorry for my bad English :S

@luqey Thank you very much for the coment and good luck to you too. Cool pixel art ;)

@relictooth you made the definitive sacrifice, yourself xD A fun idea.

@esosek Thank you very much, we are glad that you liked it.

@rebecca-kremer You would have to try to throw the less valuable objects, but you do not know what they are until the level ends (Our fault), And you can change the inclination of the plane putting the objects in the highest part, but it is true that sometimes it costs. Thank you very much for playing and commenting :)

Really nice art style!

12. Dec 2018 · 21:53 UTC

It looks amazing but it's tricky! I never figured out how to balance the plane properly. It got to the point where there were no items at all on the listing side.

Kciwsolb

13. Dec 2018 · 16:17 UTC

A value indication on the items would be great. Had fun. I love the art style!

Graphics were very nice, it ran very glitchy on my computer and I wasn't able to end up really playing it but it looked very fun! (It might just have been my computer though!)

Favorite graphics so far, nice job!

An entry with a real personality in addition of a nice interpretation of the theme. It's very neat, I mean it's very great.

@pablodap Did you credit the music anywhere? The menu screen music I got a copyright claim on youtube for lol I've never gotten one of those, so not sure how to handle it rn.

PabloDap

23. Dec 2018 · 21:40 UTC

Thanks a lot for the video, @alext-design! You seemed a bit lost at the end, when you're tilting you have to keep throwing stuff from one side to the other until it's balanced. Although getting rid of everything and scaping with your life it's also valid :sweat_smile: Also, thanks a lot for those ratings!!!

Btw, could you post the video on the itch.io page of the game aswell? It always looks nice to have all of them there!

I don't think we credited the music, sadly. @dmanzano101 found it and put it in the game and it was copyright free if I remember correctly. I'll ask him about it. I don't know how to work around a claim, sorry it happened to you :/ I'll get back if we find anything.

This game is so funny. It fits the theme hilariously, looks amazing, is stupidly fun, and is just a great game overall. This might be the most fun I've had with a LD game yet, I just love physics-based games! It's incredible, great job!

The graphics and presentation is pretty nice, but the game felt extremely sluggish due to movement latency. Otherwise it's a good and fun game overall.
