I like the pressure of time you have while playing.
The pixel art map looks quite accurate :grin:
But sometimes I never know why I lost the game.
Some indicator why I died would be nice :)
Overall you did a really good job! :smile:
Very pretty entry! Props to plink!
I like this management games, so it was easy to get into. What bothered me was that at the beginning I was kinda confused about what did wrong to fail. But once I understood, it was very challenging.
Awesome entry, guys!
The dollar amounts seem pretty low, but that's not important to the game of course!
Overall it seems well-done! Challenging enough to stay interesting for a while.
The graphics were not very remarkable, but the sound was really nice. The gameplay was certainly interesting and I could see how this idea could be expanded and polished.
I never figured out how to play, it comes at you a little fast and it might be worth easing the player into the system with an easier tutorial phase.
But, there are some things that weren't done well. I didn't know why I lost the game. I can only assume it's because I had run out of money. Also, it is kinda weird to see hurricane in Europe.

In my opinion, you have a too short timeframe for those flights, especially if the departure and destination airport are very close, then you REALLY have to be fast. Because of this short timeframe, the game looses depth, because routing a flight via multiple airports to avoid congestion and hurricanes won't make the flight arrive on time, also I'm too stressed and I don't have enough time to think about clever routing. Also a option to toggle fullscreen mode would have been nice.
I'd love to see an enhanced version of your game :thumbsup:!
PS: I can confirm that the linux version is working (at least on Ubuntu Mate 16.04)!
Simple, but solid graphics and cool music.
In any case, congrats and thanks for the Linux version ;) (works with Manjaro)
Difficulty can get annoying since it does not get balanced when you need to avoid a hurricane and make additional stops for a flight, the flight's indicator keeps going as fast as if I could tackle it with a direct flight, so it gets impossible. Anyway, it is a very fun game and I played a lot. Great job!!
