Farming but also Flight Simulator 2023 by Hybitous

[raw]
made by Hybitous for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

Controller is not required but recommended for the best experience.

Are you interested in playing the freshly released Farming Simulator 2023? Or maybe Flight Simulator 2023 instead? No? Well, you're in luck because this game isn't like either one of them!

Soar through the skies with the newly developed MLG Aerial Tractor 3000™ and reclaim the arduously earned T-Rekt-Thor Inc. potato treasury, which went afloat after successfully investing into Vegg-Coin five years ago during the Fiber-nancial Broccoli Crisis.

Okay, seriously, use your aviation ability to fly from one floating farm(is)land to the next by toggling your flight ability at the right moments. While flying, the tractor will steer forward automatically, so be careful. Also be sure to watch your pear-osene tank and reduced maneuverability while airborne. Your run will also be timed for all you speedrunners out there.

Be sure to post your final score in the comments!

Have fun and thank you for playing our game!

The game is fun and the tractor feels good to control, although the tractor can wobble and jitter at times. The level design overall is good but not much changes from level to level. More time spent on new level mechanics would have been nice instead of tons of similar levels. Overall, I like the game.

Very good game, well made and polished. The flying mechanic is a bit overpowered because we can fly on the ground xD but this is fun :) Good Job Team!

Fun puzzle game :) Level design is really good. I like how there's more than one way to solve every level.

The quick restarts are helpful because sometimes you fall a lot.

Nice combination of farming and flying simulators. The puzzle aspect is fun. I like the clean and simple 3d models.

I think the game would benefit greatly if the tractor controls were rotated by 45 degrees, having to press 2 buttons to go straight is not ideal (or hitting the perfect 45 degree angle with a controller stick).

Love it! One of my favorites so far. The controls were a bit frustrating, but in a good way. I think that's part of the charm.

I had a nice time with this. The flat shading graphics are cool, it plays pretty well, and there's a ton of content here, with some interesting level design. Some of the later levels are extremely tough!

The only down side to the visual style was that it was sometimes difficult to see, when moving very quickly, whether you were in front of or behind objects, due the orthogonal projection. I'm not sure how to remedy this, and it didn't cause too many problems, but I did notice it from time to time. My only
other minor complaint was a lack of visual feedback on when I can boost again after landing; sometimes I would die because I thought I was ready to launch again, and just drive off an edge. One time I landed upright on top of a brown wall, which was kinda neat, hah.

Nice work, it's quite polished and complete feeling!

A bit tricky to get the hang of but the concept is quite fun!

This was so much fun! Really tidy game with a good core mechanic and nice level design.

"Yeuh!" <-- What the voice says when you complete a level.

It was tough with a keyboard, I agree. But you did warn us at least, heh.

I will say there were sometimes I felt as though I had pressed the flight button and it didn't go off.

Also, for keyboard play at least it would be nice to be able to have flight be press and hold.

reading through the comments, the only one I agree with is the last one, personally I think there should be some (or if there is some, more) coyote time so when you drive off a platform you still have time to recover. I also wish restart would restart the timer because in games where you grind runs that's usually how it works. you actually get punished on time for going fast in this game because you end up getting a way higher time, if you just played carefully you'd probably end up with a better score

also that double chilli level was ridiculous, I enjoyed it though. I think it was a bit mean putting so many potatoes there when it was already quite a trial just to get to the end. And there's one potato I didn't manage to find. Overall, really fun, really good entry, feels really enjoyable to play, well designed, I had fun. ggs

Inverters are used in a variety of applications, from large-scale solar power systems to portable electronic devices. In a typical home solar power system, the solar panels will generate DC electricity that is then passed through an inverter which converts it to AC electricity. The AC electricity is then used to power the home’s electrical system. [Sheridan](https://inverterguides.com/)
