What a neat little game! Took me a minute to figure out that the dot went in a straight line with the angle from where it was spinning instead of where I was clicking, but after I got that it was a really fun (but still really hard) game!
Great job!

A very hard game to master! I tried to find a good pattern of when to press the button to launch the dot for the next letter but failed many times. I think what it was missing was a clear indicator of how well you're doing, so something like 40 letters left, or 5 letters cleared etc. just something to make it a bit more obvious as to whether or not you're doing better than the last turn etc. Maybe a best score saved and displayed in one of the top corners inside the box.
But otherwise a cool game.

Dangerous SkiesAppreciate the feedback and thanks for playing it!
I found that if you stay on the corners and just jump to the closest letter is the easiest way to play.
I might include a high score at one point, should be able to make some space on the right upper corner for that if I delete the unnecessary plus signs.
That is an interesting game!
I felt that it was too punishing when you missed a shot (at the end I missed and had to beggin from the start)...
After you get in the flow, it goes pretty well. I just wish there were more visual indications of which letter is being deleted from the words (maybe flash is, I don't know), because in the end I was just trying to make the jumps and forgot about the words per se.
Conratulations on the game, it is really nice (and doing 3 jams at a time... it is nuts that you managed to make one game with three restrictions at once!)

While play testing I had quite a few game over with just one or two letters left so I know exactly what you mean.
I might make the letters just change color instead of deleting it if I decide to make an update.
I guess the restrictions kinda limit your choices but it was the way I found to get more people opinions on something I made.
This is a really great entry. Having to time you're jumps while you're spinning and the level is spinning is a really fun challenge. And making it so that when you hit a letter, it removes that letter from the surrounding words is really creative. I did run into a problem one time where there were no plus symbols for me to jump to, but that's not too big of a deal. I also wish that when you started the ring wasn't moving and you just and to click to start cause it can be slightly annoying waiting for a plus symbol at the beginning. But this game is really fun! I can really respect the ambition of making one game for three different jams.

Letter DashAppreciate the feedback and thanks for playing it!
Glad you were able to get around it, sorry if the description wasn't very clear but yeah you should avoid the plus signs as they will increase the speed of the letters. It could help you at beginning but once you get to the last letter it can make things quite hard for you.
I guess that's just the way I found to reach as many people as possible with the small amount of time I have to make something I really like.
