Airport by LDJam user 226027

made by LDJam user 226027 for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

A creative/tycoon/sandbox game, where the player creates an airport for a busy city into sea.

Can you build and optimize the airport so that it can receive every plane arriving every ten seconds?

Known problems/limitations

:airplanesmall: Please draw runways from left to right. :pencil2: :slightsmile:
:airplanesmall: When taxiing, planes sometimes go onto a reserved runway. :sweatsmile: :boom:
:sound: I ran out of time, so I cut out all audio from this project. :sweat: :hearnoevil:

It's a really wonderful game, but after I built my third runway, a plane stuck on the third runway's entrance.
And the third runway was occupied forever.

An interesting idea, rather annoying how you cant build in an area if youve accidentally added a single square in there already. This would be a cool game to play without the theme aswell!

Thanks! I didn't make it to bulldoze tool in my task list. :slight_smile: Consider it a permadeath sandbox, then!

Cool idea, fun little builder! Would like to see this fleshed out!

Yeah, I second the plane sticking to the beginning of the runway (for me it occurred for both third and fourth runway). Maybe something to do with them being connected by a taxiway corner? Anyway, good effort for compo.

Good job on the jam!

Great game, it took me a bit to understand what I was doing wrong at first but when I got it, it was a pretty fun idle game.
I can see this being a great "Airport tycoon" with more polish. :D

nice game. It's a lot of idle time before you can really start adding more stuff. It's a nice idea.

Fun builder with a cool premise. I wish you success as you advance with this game after LD. I really think you should continue it further.

Fun game, but hard to start.. at least it took me a while to get started.
Too bad about the audio, but hey, it's a compo :slight_smile:

04. Oct 2022 · 14:27 UTC

I dig the idea. Didn't really understand what I was meant to do at first but once I did it was enjoyable. Nice job, and I hope you develop it further in the future :)

Thanks for the feedback! It definitely needs some tutorials or similar to get the player started. :thumbsup:

Really neat concept! I must admit, I had a little trouble getting started. Maybe I'm just bad at reading directions, but I was struggling a bit with the building requirements. BUT once it all clicked I started really enjoying it. It was a exciting moment when my first plane landed. I think your game has some good legs and could be expanded. Minor post jam tweaks I'd add - a bulldozer, and I'd adjust the resolution so your build tiles aren't so tiny. Otherwise, great game and application of the theme!

Nice game) reminds me what I played on the phone, where you need to land planes by drawing trajectories

Building requirements are a bit unintuitive, but with a bit of polish could be fun little game. Spent way too long playing it.

🎤 LDJam user 226027

Thank you for the feedback! Definitely the game needs to explain why something cannot be built.

08. Oct 2022 · 07:45 UTC

A great tycoon game! I would love to see it expended upon with more features related to airports like driveway for example.

Good job for a compo!

What a fun relaxed (aka youtube on the second monitor) tycoon game! The building requirement took some trial and error, but after that the game was quite intuitive and clear (in a minimalistic way). I really wanted to be able to delete old taxiways (when I had designed a better layout).

Cool game! Hard to understand at first, but then it's quite interesting to play. It's impressive that you didi this alone in compo, great job!

Really cool concept! I wish the building requirements were easier to figure out, it took me a long time to figure out how it worked.

How can I play this? Did you remove the game link?

🎤 LDJam user 226027

17. Oct 2022 · 04:14 UTC

It’s available only on this page, through the new LD embed feature. Press play on the cover image? @ukulelefury

17. Oct 2022 · 14:18 UTC

@grilladroid Ah, oops! I somehow thought the big box with a play button was a YouTube trailer, not the game embed!

17. Oct 2022 · 22:35 UTC

Nice idea! As some others have mentioned I also had some trouble getting started but once I got it figured out it went smoothly. Not a big deal but there was a bunch of overlapping UI elements making it unplayable I had to adjust my browser zoom to in order to get it to display normally.

Interesting idea for a game. The system for building could use some work, though. It should be possible to remove tiles that are already built, and build on top of tiles of the same type. A guide that tells you the size of what you're building would also be nice.
