Like many side scrolling airplane games, the object controlled in this game behaves a lot more like a rocket than an airplane. I suggest learning a little about the physics of airplanes[1] to improve the feeling of flying.
I made a prototype[2] once (not working on mobile, unfortunately) to show what can be done, and it takes getting a lot of details right![3]

- trencedamp 28d agoSecond this. I've been trying to build a casual flying game in unity and getting the physics right is hard. What I found particularly hard is simulating accurately how gravity works against the aircrafts momentum, and trying to get stall and recovery right
- michaelteter 25d agoThe goal was to make a game similar in look and feel to an old console game I played when I was a kid. Just like with many arcade racing games, the physics are not intended to be hyper-realistic. I do love realistic physics in flight/driving sims, but that just wasn't my goal here.
