Hey there!
This is our 6th Ludum Dare entry! We hope you'll enjoy it!
This game is about Ared Mudul, a monster from outer space who _really_ wants to get away from earth. In order to do this, he needs money to buy the Atomic Space Warp-drive. How will he get said money? It's obvious! He converted his space ship into a taxi cab and you'll have to help him get off this planet full of filthy "hoomans".
The game was written from scratch using Java and LibGDX.
The entire process was streamed to the awesome livecoding.tv at:

Couldn't find the airport, arrows pointed me to go left and after a while to go right but I never found the airport between them XD It was kinda hard to control the space ship, it felt a little heavy, but I still enjoyed the game. Congrats on the entry!
Polished entry with nice graphic feel, fitting sound and sfx, and decent humor.
It's a bit difficult to control the airship and crashing into buildings at first wasn't intuitive to me. Not sure how to adjust it, perhaps more immediate controls to the ship? It takes a long time to go up if you're falling down, which slows the overall gameplay. Maybe a speed boost button and nitro pickups?
After playing a while I got much better, yet still felt the pang of bordem - what keeps interest in taxi mode in GTA? Killing people on the way, scaring the passenger, jumps and shortcuts..? Perhaps it's the lack of reward feedback when dropping each person off and the sometimes difficulty in finding new passengers that holds it back too.
In any case, still impressive total effort and I appreciate all the ludum dare jokes :)

But how to get new passengers?
