The only way to stop the looping is to stop the powering of the elevators! (space) This will however also cut your engine. Try to land as safely as possible!

Great idea and I love the concept. It did take me a bit to learn how to move the plane, or that i was even able to. Great job

Back again. I did notice that the plane can move off screen. Is it possible to use a more dynamic camera, one that zooms out to keep the plane on screen.

@dawndev Thank you for your feedback. Yeah I should probably have used a dynamic camera. I used the fuel mechanic to not have to bother with adding the camera but it would have made it much easier to make interesting levels.

I really like the take on the theme! i do wish there was more content, maybe some more physics-y controls, but its very creative!

It was fun to figure out how to advance the plane towards the landing lane. Nice game. The only complaint I have is that music is a little bit repetitive and it would be cool to have an option to turn it off. Otherwise great entry!

Great game. Really liked the graphics and it was just fun. The crash sfx never got old.

Amazing game, one of my favorites
Simple, fun, addicting
Love the cute graphics, and the different little ways it explodes on rough landings
So much fun, fantastic job!

Really fun :) Good concept and good execution. The most playful game I played so far :)

I had a lot of fun with this - took me a while to work out how the acceleration/deceleration affect the position of the loop, but after I did I had a great time. I think the victory conditions need a little tweaking - on the last level I completely missed the runway, but still got a perfect landing result. Otherwise, great fun :thumbsup:

Cool game. It took me a while to understand. But I managed to complete all levels. I got a lot of perfect crashes. :smile: Good job!

Very fun short game! The sound effects were 10/10

I absolutely love this take on the theme (though that it has some similarities with my own may help with that)! And that engine cutoff sound effect gives this game a great score in humour.

The idea is really interesting and fun, but it's not the easiest game to play.

It was a little difficult to understand how to use the controls to move the plane into a position where you could land. I really enjoyed the sound effects. They added a charm to the game that made it less frustrating when you crashed.

That was awesome!! I played it right up to the end, and had a blast. This is the best execution of this type of idea that I've seen so far. Initially, I didn't realize you could move the plane and thought that the second level was impossible because I kept accelerating and trying to reach the landing strip with the perfect angle. But once I learned how to move the plane around, the rest of the game clicked.

The audio was great, and the sound effects were funny. The only nitpick I have is that some of the levels were too easy and didn't feel like I needed much of a different strategy from the others. The final level was tough though. Still, I think there's a lot of room for you to keep experimenting with this concept if you decide to keep working on it.

Overall, great job! I enjoyed this entry a lot :D
