Turbulence Ahead!
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
This is a short and simple 2D flight simulator game that I made for the 2022 One Lone Coder Code Jam within a week.
Your goal is to visit all 6 cities as quickly as possible without running out of fuel. However, as you continue your flight, the weather slowly gets more extreme and "unfriendly to planes".
Tips:
- Avoid the black lightning clouds, colliding with those will cause your plane to crash as lightning is probably not good for planes
- If possible, try to let the wind help push you in the right direction to spend less fuel
- Going faster consumes fuel at a faster rate so make sure to balance speed with fuel!
Controls:
Right / Left Arrow keys - rotate the plane
Up / Down Arrow keys - accelerate or decelerate the plane
ESC - pause the game
Feedback / Criticism is appreciated!
(I was able to beat the game in 4 minutes 8 seconds; feel free to share your best time)
