4 New Puzzles, Endless Mode and 20% Off in the Steam Summer
New Update is Live!
We are back with a brand new update! To dive straight into the details, we have focused on 4 key areas for this release. First, based on your feedback, we’ve fixed issues in several puzzles and addressed the repetitiveness to improve overall variety. Next, to offer you fresh experiences, we are introducing 4 new puzzles to the game. While keeping the difficulty balanced, we aimed to make players feel the aviation atmosphere even more deeply. Last but not least, we have integrated a brand-new game mode.
Bug & Hot Fixes
- Decoder PuzzleThe difficulty system has been streamlined. It now features fewer words, and localization has been significantly improved for languages other than English.
Flap Puzzle: Received a UX (User Experience) update.
- Target FPSA new Target FPS setting has been added. You can now customize and cap your FPS limit.
Graphical Updates: Graphics have been polished alongside major optimization improvements.
Puzzle Improvements
Say goodbye to repetitive outcomes! Puzzle solutions will now randomize with every new playthrough. For instance, you won't always encounter the exact same "enter the first number" step in Stage 1 like you did in your previous runs. Additionally, we’ve added a slight difficulty tweak to the Hijack level: a cracked glass effect on the windshield now challenges the pilot’s visibility.
New Puzzles
We have added 4 new puzzles that blend seamlessly with the aviation theme. With the Fuel Switch Puzzle, Frequency Puzzle, Cabin Pressure Puzzle, and Cabin Announcement, we aimed to capture the true aircraft atmosphere. Your feedback on these new additions is incredibly valuable to us, especially for shaping our future goals.
Fuel Switch Puzzle
The player checks three fuel indicator areas with X, Y, and Z symbols underneath them, then communicates which symbol matches the left, center, and right positions to the tower. Using the tower’s instructions, the player identifies the fullest and emptiest fuel areas and sets the up, mid, and down switches correctly to complete the puzzle.
Frequency Puzzle
The player sees a visual in front of them that changes every 20 seconds, and they need to adjust the frequency based on that visual. The puzzle has three stages, and completing all three frequency adjustments solves it.
Cabin Pressure Puzzle
The player sees three different cabin zones, each displaying random numbers. Based on these numbers, the player must set the percentage values of three valves correctly to solve the puzzle.
Cabin Announcement Puzzle
The player sees a screen showing different cabin issues assigned to specific rows. They communicate these row issues to the tower, and based on the tower’s SYS instructions, they turn the correct buttons on or off to solve the puzzle.
Endless Mode
Test your skills in our new mode where you see how many planes you can successfully land within a 30-minute time limit! Your successful landings will be uploaded to the global leaderboard, allowing you to compete with players worldwide.
Steam Summer Sale
To top it all off, we will be live in the Steam Summer Sale with a 20% discount! Don't miss out!
