Your plane has run out of fuel, but luckily you've found a cave to glide down. Press space to dump weight and keep your plane afloat!

First jam game. 20 degree twist on a modern classic.

I hope you are proud of your work, because for your first jam game you knocked it right out of the park. This is simple but really good and I got a feeling you are gonna improve a lot if you keep going at this rate. Simple is not bad, simple can lead to fun and engaging games and I apppreciate that thats exactly what we have here. (I also appreciate the humerous variety of ites the plane throws off) Agan you did really amazing! I hope you are proud of your game, as you definitely should be !

Great work for your first game jam! This was tough but fun, and I liked the wide variety of items that I was throwing from my plane (which is also apparently a bottomless pit).

Fun and simple, good variation on flapy bird ! Like how you dumb random stuff at each jump xD
Game is smooth and works without any issue, and it's quite fun ! So, great job !!

Well done for your first game, but I'll just be a little brutal and say it wasn't very imaginative! All very functional and a nice funny take on a classic... but it is still basically the same as any kind of flappy bird like game. Branch out a little more and apply your clearly strong skills on something new!

Cute details with the junk your plane dumps.

Seems to be a solid flappy implementation. My biggest gripe is that the lack of a parallax background makes the intro awkward; there's no sense of "movement" on the plane. It would also have worked if you just had the junk scroll with the level. A quick hack here might be to just give the junk horizontal gravity.

Overall nice work! Had fun, crashed a lot of planes.

@fireslash You're absolutely right, I have no idea how I didn't notice the junk betrays the lack of horizontal movement :sweat_smile: Thank you for the feedback!

And thank you everyone for the kind and encouraging words!

I'm so bad at this game! :joy:
It's good, especially for a first, for sure my first jam games weren't so playable! The concept is fun, and I agree with above comments about the objects falling off the plane. Seeing as we're getting lighter and lighter, maybe the 20° twist could've been an upwards one :stuck_out_tongue:
Great job!
