I'm using the latest Firefox and the page says the uploader hasn't sent a game yet.

Hey, thanks for trying to check the game out. I accidentally removed the web file and I can't re-upload it until after the jam; if you'd like to play please download the Windows copy!

I had more fun than I expected with this! I think with a larger variety of minigames this could be pretty fun. Also fit the theme very well!

I did run into a small issue where I restarted after winning but the dead trees stuck around.

Not sure how this bug slipped through my fingers, I'll update it now!

Really glad to hear that you had fun with this one, definitely agree about the variety!

Edit: Bug fixes aren't allowed for GMTK looooool

Neat idea. I like how the mini-games have different effects on the plane. I could imagine a higher difficulty level where multiple mini-games can happen at once and you have to decide if turning or dropping water is more important.

I wasn't really a fan of the plane's controls, though. It felt really sluggish, both in movement speed and turning radius. I'm guessing the slow speed was to account for the mini-games, but I think a tighter turn radius and a boost button would've made the plane part a lot more fun. Maybe the boost is another thing that could break.

If you polished this idea up and gave it some nice aesthetics, I could see it making a fun mobile game. The mini-games especially would work well on a touch screen.

Multiple mini-games later on sounds like it could either be fun or complete madness! I certainly wish I had spent some more time making the plane fly better, perhaps you're right about adapting it for mobile though...

It's simple, but I like it. I had to adapt my plans when I lost control.
