Love the concept and scientifically accurate take on the theme! Unfortunately I could only get my plane to Jupiter.

Thanks for playing! I definitely made the game a bit too long 😅

This was shockingly fun!! I like the concept of a paper plane going to Pluto. The upgrade system was a nice touch, though it was hard to tell if it applied or not since there is no feedback, but I figured it out after getting the Bandage upgrade. The music was pleasant to listen too as well!!
Will be featured in tonight's stream!!

Scaling up to Hero (GMTK 2024 version)

DaygineerDeveloper109 days ago(+1)

Thanks for the kind works! I did discover after the deadline that two of the upgrades weren’t working but I agree the upgrades could use some clearer feedback/explanations. Also all the music credits goes to audionautix.com. I’ll try to tune in for the stream!

You've sold me that game just by it's name.

Thanks!

Flying the plane feels so smooth! Really well done visually too. Unfortunately didn't have the willpower to make it to the end after dying in the last stretch, so I'm going to hope I'm not missing out on anything. Well done really smart design choice and well executed

Thanks for playing! Even I struggled to make it to the last stretch so that’s pretty good. Btw if you made it to the last stretch you didn’t miss out on anything new.

Great little game. It feels great to control, the visuals are nice a clean, and it's got a good sense of challenge without feeling impossible. The concept is also just adorable.

DaygineerDeveloper111 days ago

Thanks! I’m thinking of making a small post-jam update.

Eitamneta1Submitted110 days ago

you rly should (=

personionSubmitted112 days ago

this game is sooo fun! its really satisfying to control (though stopping the plane midair might be a bit too overpowered) and the upgrades give the game a sense of progression, rather than just the difficulty. its well polished, and the assets work great together. nice work!

Build and Scale

DaygineerDeveloper111 days ago

Thanks a lot for playing! The movement definitely could use some balancing but I’m glad you found it satisfying (I found myself doing a bit too much playtesting for this reason).

Made it up to 19.1% (Last stop: Jupiter)

SkygladerSubmitted113 days ago

Submitted

Pea-Sized Punisher

DaygineerDeveloper113 days ago

Thanks for playing! I understand that way speed boosts spawn can be pretty annyoing at times since it’s random.

Neat that the distances are proportional!
