this was a good idea for a game... IN THEORY. but then again so is Communism... the physics, just cargo bridge, are a complete & udder failure! half of the things you put on your vehicle don't even stay on. i built a "jet thingy" & in mid-flight it all fell apart... this is pathetic gameplay physics. you don't release a game that doesn't have the bugs ironed out . & another bad idea from the developers of the game is that this fail boasts it will be part of an epic (failure) instalment. which reminds me of the game too human for the 360. the controls were waaaaaaaay off in there, as is here. if your first game was as well received as a paper cut then that might be an omen

Thanks for the comment Beat007 - Very fair comments and I agree wholeheartedly with you. The second installment has largescale plans for a much better game all around

lots or tiny gliches that make game play difficult, fantastac idea though the second installment should include more parts for more unique designs. 5/5 for idea

Just a quick comment to say thanks to the guys who have contacted me with an interest to becoming a beta tester for TP2 - I'll be in touch with you all shortly :)

Seems to enjoy hemorrhaging memory more than letting me play.
Shame, it's the simplest and most fun variation of the idea you've made.

Physics are HORRIBLE! The extreme sensitivity, especially for flying machines, makes the whole thing ridiculously difficult since there's no "snap to grid" to keep things balanced. Also, why can't I put motors/fuel on the inside of my machine AFTER I've built the frame?

lol you can beat most of the levels with just a stick with a prop on each end with a tank in the middle (i named it proppy)

It was a great idea,and hopefully test pilot 2 will be awesome,but it seems like there is a bit to much flying.Most levels it seems you have to have flying skills more than a good design...Just a suggestion to maybe make it a bit more of a 'who has a better design?' kind of thing.But otherwise its great.

Unfortunatley at the moment the only way to get the map pack is via testpilotthegame.com - I'm looking at an additional free map pack for kongregate users now :)

@XCullX - Excellent suggestion and definetly something we're going to have in Test Pilot 2 - btw if there's anyone who'd be interested in being a beta tester for TP2 then please get in touch on my profile :) Thanks for the feedback guys

The main problem I see is that it is very hard to make a vehicle with proper balance, a very important aspect of air vehicles. Perhaps it would be possible to add a toggle-able snap to grid function?

@ mickyman04: You expect it to be easy? Any game should have some level of reality, no matter how little, and this on has the difficulty with handling. You expect to get into a plane and be able to say, "Oh wow this is easy!" without any prior practice?

admittedly a good idea, but poorly worked out, there are a number of things which could vastly improve the game including the ability to set engines for flying vehicles in directions other than up and down

i like it :) got a new WR very cool, the air controls are a little too sensitive for me but other than that i like it

@10Neon - yea good point. We originally started the game with a wheeled vehicle but decided that showing users that flight was what the game was really about first was a better way to keep a user interested :) I'll come up with a fixed version asap

There's definitely a memory leak, possibly associated with entering/exiting levels. Using Firefox 3.5.3, memory usage almost doubles after a few stages and eventually locks up. Also, what other people have said about controls, camera, records, etc. Has potential, but held back by too much poor execution right now.

I've seen some puzzle games unlock their levels in groups of similarly-difficult levels. Rather than linear unlocks, this game could benefit from something more like that.

@yogsloth - most users seem to manage pressing Q to fire the left engine and W to press the right engine? Let me know if thats not working for you?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ok, I'm done with this game. You NEED to make the map movable. I find my self making the same vehicle every level. A straight bar with a jet engine on each side.

Oh my god this is horrible. I've been trying the very first tutorial level for several minutes. There is simply no logical control over the craft at all. I can't pass the level because I can't get this vehicle to behave in any logical fashion to get to the finish. When your first tutorial level is made nearly impossible by terrible controls, your game never should have left the dev stage.

Was stuck n the tunnel crawl level so I went to the walkthrough. Why call it tunnel crawl if you're going to have people fly over the top....

Great idea but seriously lacking some very important aspects:
1) Need to be able to move camera to see the track.
2) Simple edit/move parts. Its annoying as hell if I want to make a small change that I have to delete and redo those parts all over again instead of just sliding the piece.
3) A "batch" option for engines would be nice. If I want all 4 jet engines to go at once, it would be nice if I could select all 4 and give them all the same controls. Instead of 1 at a time.

Hrrmm, says I own the new world record for the first level at 2.60s but it doesn't update? Still says someone else has it at 2.85s.
