Nice game where you fly planes.

for a game that is very soon leaving early access, no, nononono. This has physics of a minecraft mod. Control surfaces? not needed. Lift? Just a stat. Drag? seems to be using your front area for approximating it, so you can just stack 10 wings one after another to get good lift with no increase in drag. It's more like an incremental game, where you try to increase your numbers: lift, power, weight limit, cargo size while being limited by things such as money and research, and not really shape or physics, centers of lift - where you put the wings doesn't actually matter. "Missions" are super repetitive, as you just fly from one strip to another. The strips don't differ much in any meaningful ways and anyway grass is as good as asphalt in this game, so you can just use it if you run out of runway. This would still be a somewhat enjoyable "get rich" game, if controls were any good. Sadly it's a boring flying game, that really hates the gamepads for some reason. I ended up flying with one of my gamepads (the other one wouldn't work, despite steam seeing it fine) while doing everything else (map, cargo, design) with a mouse. Later when I was experimenting with more complex functions…

Ignore the playtime, I only played maybe two hours so far, I just left the game running while out doing errands. The game is... fine. It doesn't have as much thought put into it as a lot of these other games, for better or worse, though. The TLDR is that you build airplanes and then run deliveries around the map. Medicine to Town A, crash survivors to Dock C, etc., while avoiding crashing or anything. Some things have a time limit, like fruit, or some things might be fragile, like glass. Overall it's a pretty simple game, and it's entertaining enough I suppose. This is balanced out by the game not really being very well balanced, and progression being quite... unpredictable. For better or worse, you can softlock yourself permanently if you make bad upgrade choices. You might be done with all the easy deliveries, unlock some things, then realize you didn't unlock the stronger wheels, so now you can't make any of the remaining deliveries because they weigh too much and you can't even get off the runway because your wheels break. You might wait too long to unlock new engines, and now you literally can't build a plane that can carry enough cargo to matter. The only thing you c…

Crazy cool, really chill really entertaining. I've played it full up to 100% before game launch and there were no bugs or issues and the game content was more than enough for the price it costs.

A great game to chill with, with a satisfying progress arc.

i made a rocket that flew at speeds that would easily turn humans into paprika powder.
