A time and points based flight sim about following flight path that spawns on random position

I really like this game one of my top fun games in my opinion very much arcade feeling when playing

Hey, I played your game!

It's a solid game with basic mechanics, and is fun for a while. However, eventually I found it quite boring... I was just going through hoop after hoop endlessly. 

What this game needs are unique mechanics and obstacles, to give the player a sense of achievement when they go through a hoop. Put some enemies there to stop you, put some birds in the way, add turbulence, bad/good weather... or something to make it more engaging. Even something as small as moving the hoops around for a harder target.

Maybe the plane can go faster or slower due to an upgrade or obstacle? Maybe it can have a gun to fire at these obstacles? Nosedives, tailspins, barrel rolls... everything planes can do, experiment with it and put it in!

sorry you did not like the game

flight points spawn randomly and can go to a difficult place to find sometimes

the game is challenging in my opinion ive only managed to get about 3200 points and i can play it again and again.

You get 100 points for getting though a flight point if you did not notice

thanks for all the feedback

No, I did like it! I just think it could use some extra spice :)

I have found that I can move the mouse around very quickly, and go back through the hoop I just went through. I can do this repeatedly to continually increase my score. (But then it increases the risk of forgetting which ring to go through and losing, so I guess you can keep that bug in if you want)

Feature Ideas:

- Fly through a city, or have some sort of 3D objects that you are flying around. Needs more scenery

- I would like some particle effects for the jet stream, and the trails on the wings, something to feel like I am flying a plane. To add to this, the mouse should not simply rotate the plane like an FPS game, it should set the 'wanted rotation' instantly, and then plane should rotate towards that wanted rotation at some linear rate. This will make it feel more like you are controlling a plane. To add to the 'physics', you should also make flying downwards faster than flying upwards, due to gravity. (just examples, you can add more)

Simply by making the plane feel more plane-like and adding more scenery, this simple game can become very good. But after a while, simply flying through the hoops becomes boring. Could add some type of progression, or some end goal/win state. I am not sure what that will look like though, it is up to you really

thanks for checking out the game and give your opinion about it and feedback

many cool features you mentioned that could be added

I find the game very challenging going through hoops and sometimes the hoops spawn off screen so its hard to find them making the game more challenging
