First Ludum Dare entry! that was intense, and I sure hope you'll like it.
Basically this a game is about helping planes not to crash, while the tower control operator tries to troll you to death.

That dialogue had me laughing out loud. What a ridiculous scenario.

You should probably explain the controls or the objective though. It's very confusing to figure out what's going on.

Thank you!
there is actually a small text in-game but it might be a bit small.

Haha.This is hard, but I love the dialog and graphics. To hell with that tower control operator!

Took me a while to get what's going on.
Didn't manage to get a single plane in ><, graphic was great though.

Awesome! The gameplay is creative, and I love the arts. Though the entrance of can be more obvious ;p

The inline web player doesn't work - It's too small to read anything. I think you need to set the size bigger ...

So funny ! I couldn't control the plane at all but it was still hilarious ! What on earth is the alien doing in the tower ! I want to find out more about this world !

Gameplay is a bit limited ...

Awesome entry but sadly no link with the theme. Gorgeous art, fun and damn hilarious.

Haha, it gets super frantic pretty quickly! I like how the pilot's portrait rotates with the plane.

The game looks nice and you have done lots with a simple idea.

I wasn&rsquo;t quite sure how it related to the topic of An Unconventional Weapon but it was enjoyable to play anyway.

Thank you all guys for your feedback, I had to admit that the landing is too hard, so I tweaked it to make it easier.
Give it another try!

Would be awesome with voices :D

Nice humor and art. A bit slow.

The art style is really well done, the game itself quite hard :D Nearly saved 3 planes at all. Anyway, like I said, I really enjoyed the visuals and the dialogs.

Oh man, this was tough, I barely managed to land one plane :). I loved the graphics and the troll was funny.

How was the theme featured here? Plane flying physics were fantastic.
Hectate20 Apr 2015, 21:56
This is absolutely insane. Of course I tried to land my first couple times anyway... NOPE. This is a hard game...

I manage to almost land the second plane, but it's tough! I really liked the setting and the portraits, especially how they rotate with the planes. Awesome work!

This is a very polished game, original, fun and with an hilarious narrative.

Great work! :)

Nice but the theme !

Can I just say that the pictures rotating with the planes made this the funniest entry I've seen yet? Great work, love the art and I had fun.

I really like the idea and its the kind of game I would definitely enjoy, but man oh man is it hard to play! I think you should let the player land one plane before you hit them with the double-plane scenario, just to let them find their feet a bit!

Rotating portraits were hilarious - you really get the sense of the pilots panicking, upside down, as air traffic control continues to be a d*ck about it :)

Yea very funny, but kinda hard to figure out what to do.

DUDE WE'RE GONNA DIE!
Hilarious dialogue, and the pilot portrait rotating with the plane was a nice touch. The game itself is difficult, couldn't really get past 3 planes because I kept hitting the side, but it was still pretty funny and made me play it a few times to see if there was more dialogue.
internetpaulicy21 Apr 2015, 02:35
I love watching the little head icons turn upside down. Its a little on the dark side but who isn't. Great first entry!
cgmorton21 Apr 2015, 03:52
This game is hilarious. I really liked it once I figured it out.

You could have explained how to land though, I tried for ages to set down on the runway.

I also find it annoying that my planes can crash into the top and sides of the screen, given that that is the SKY they just crashed into. :P

It was hard to understand what's goin on. But dialoges was fun.

I mean, I didn't "enjoy" the game at all in the sense that I didn't have any idea what I was doing, but it was totally hilarious. The graphics rotating with you was pretty cool.

Nice game....REALLY hard, but super well done. I like how you even added a stall situation on the planes. The conversation was hilarious, but after my second plane i couldn't read much of it because of the cognitive load...and i feel like i probably missed a bunch of amazing interactions. Well done!

Like the graphics style. I'd love to rate for theme, since a aircraft hangar door is a pretty unconventional weapon your opponent uses. :D
