Paper Airplane game

Recommended Posts

This one gets my vote for coolest flash game I've ever seen.
I got 3488 meters in one flight. The trick is to conserve fuel. Avoid using the engine unless you have to and save all the fuel for tiny steering corrections, short taps on the keys just to bring the nose up a hair. I let the various cranes and yellow stars do all the work of gaining altitude. The art of keeping your paper plane aloft is actually very similar to the feel of using back risers and thermals to get back from a long spot.
Fun.

Ok how the HELL did you do that? Whats the trick?



Well, I was writing a bootable image for work and that was taking up some processor resources and when I threw it I ended up letting go outside the box and it froze for about a minute I think due to the ISO being written. Then it said "hit spacebar" and when I did it just started going and going and going without climbing or descending. Happened twice. First time I hit spacebar while it was going and that brought it down.

You can find the info online if you search, but it goes something like this:
Turn the sound off.
Throw the plane directly upwards.
The game will freeze for 30-60 seconds, and when it unfreezes you will be moving forward but not going up or down.
I never got it to work after trying a few times, it did freeze but never unfroze.

This game is the equivalent of an electronically induced coma. I start, then awaken from the ether hours later, unaware of how much time has passed other than noting it's now dark outside and I have pressure ulcers on my butt from not moving from my couch for so long.
