i don't get one thing... its a plane that runs on solar power... why the hell is it flying at ground level where there are
1. potential obstacles for the plane to crash into
2. air density is thicker, thus more stressful for the plane AND limiting plane's speed
3. sun is not as strong due to terrain

seriously, no matter what game it is, a mute button should be a must. great game but i like to play games to my own music, so please consider a mute button in future updates. thumbs up so the developer can see

I love the game! Though in my personal opinion it could be one of the greatest upgrade/build type games on Kongregate. Now don't get me wrong, the game doesn't NEED to change, its already a great game. But as I was playing it I couldn't help thinking that if the Tris could be kept and used as a currency for upgrading your solar craft; bigger solar panels to absorb more light, sharper wings for tighter turns, thrusters or afterburners, something that made the light you got worth more, armor which makes you slower and heavier but takes the crashes better... I just think that this game is great, but this game, with a customizable craft to let each player play in their own style... That just seems so cool! The achievments could be used to unlock certain parts. The specials could still be there. I just think that customization could take this already great game and give it something deeper. That being said, still 5/5, and very addicting!
Sorry you feel that way. Our intent here is to provide great, lasting entertainment, and if you enjoy the game enough, hopefully you could consider dropping $5 or so for a version with even more features, and with none of that Free-to-Play micro-transaction stuff. Game developers need to keep the lights on somehow :)

Excellent game! I do agree the Tris could be a tad brighter but that's about the only complaint I have. The acheievement/goals system is a great way to keep me playing too. 5/5.

There is something oddly addicting about this game. I find myself unable to stop playing sometimes always trying to get a little further. Really cool beans.
Nope, that's a glitch. There's currently an issue with older video cards(anything older than Shader-Model 3.0, if that means anything to you.) We're hoping to address this in a future update to support older hardware!

I finally got those 150 tris ! Since you seem to take our reports in consideration, i think that the problem is that the 2 other achievements are way easier. You should keep hard achievements, but maybe after you obtain the final level (the way daily achievement works). Thanks for this great game !

A tecnology like this one is horrible, in real life the higher you go, the faster you go and save more fuel.
Might be because it's sun powered.

It's good to see that a game designer takes the time to answer the comments in his creation. Congratulations on that, and in creating a simple but addictive game, with many hours of gameplay. You sir, really have the spirit of gaming!

Thank you for the reply and the attention you are giving to users. Hit esc really lets you see the objective progress. However, the ideal would be to have this information also at the end of the round, because the person often forgets or does not have time to press esc. I urge you to include it in a future update. The game is wonderful. I Already favorited and gave 5 stars.

A space ship that has the technologie to fly at amazing speeds, sad that this piece of technologie hasn't got enough technologie to fly a few feet higher, if it only had a speed --> altitude converter

Hit detection is really screwed up. Every time I think i'm going to hit i'm fine and every time crash I think i'm clear by a mile.

Hey guys! On windows, in the lower right hand corner, click the volume control for your computer, then click "mixer." This allows you to mute your browser (with the game) without muting itunes/whatever. Or you can open youtube in one browser and the game in a second browser, and mute the browser with the game but not the one with youtube. There, now you can listen to music and mute any game, without worrying about whether the game has a mute button. Now stop complaining about there not being mute buttons and start playing!
Oh, and sorry mac users, there is probably a way to mute any game on a mac, but I don't know how.

I think there should be a tris counter on each trial. I'm stuck on level 5 and I have no idea if I'm close or far from achieving the 150 tris in a round.
You're welcome! We're really loving the feedback from you all, and we hope to make Flippfly a name you remember for years to come.
Also, this feedback is invaluable to us!

I love the angle, it makes you feel like you are in a really driving the vehicle and when you jump and "glide" over everything? I love it! Thanks for making this game :)

Nice simple run/ race type game. The fact the upgrades are objective base is a nice touch to keep you playing. The simple graphics but complex shadowing is great at keeping the focused on avoiding the rocks and walls but noting the sun going down as the shadows grow longer. This is a perfect example of how a few well put together simple things can out way the big flashy high graphic over done games. Quality work, well done.

Please add a tris counter showing how many youve collected in your current run, would make the 150 tris challenge slightly less irritating.

Sweet game, it would be nice if one could use the "W" key to jump, though. I find WASD a much more comfortable hand position plus my arrow keys are kinda sticky, so I was glad to find I could steer with "A" and "D", but like I said it would be cool to be able to use "W" to jump

so everybody is having trouble getting the 150 tris thing if you get as much tris as you can and power down? then you either got it or you need to try again.

OK - Things i need to stop me going insane. 1) a sign from the developers that they understand my pain and my utter inability to get 150 tris in one round - FEEL MY PAIN. 2) Some kind of counter to show me as I go if i am getting close. I've tried counting as i go but too thick for that.
We understand your pain :) There is in fact a counter, if you pause with the Escape key, you'll see all of your current objective's progress.
Also, we can say that only about 5% of players have unlocked this objective so far, so we'll definitely be revisiting this particular one for sure. Thanks for your feedback!

Have to agree with the general consensus - 150 tris in a round is so hard!!! Let us progress dev's - not all of us are superhuman gamers
Sure! Here are a few tips:
1. Use the magnet ability.
2. Use the escape key to pause during a round and see your current progress
3. Don't focus on getting every single tri - instead, focus on staying alive, collecting speed boosts to outpace the sun, and collecting as many as you reasonably can. Best of luck!

So I used the jump powerup and ended up clipping on the edge of one of the tall spikes. Now I'm stuck, not able to die, and not able to glance of...

This game is excellent, however the collection objective gets ridiculous pretty quickly, I'd cut down those numbers as rather than add a challenge (at least to me) they just prevent me from getting my next upgrade for a long period of time. It kind of makes the game too grindy.

i cant seem to collect 1500 total triplets i checked my stats and it says i have 4448 triplets. do i have to collect 1500 in a round? pls answer

Ok, very sweet, very addictive, very frustrating. This would make an excellent example of how distracted driving will kill you and others. I can't get past the first region if the radio is on. I made it to the 4th region with total game concentration. And am I insane or is getting 150 blue things impossible? I swear I counted 60 triplets, but still can't get the check box to fill up. Looking forward to all the improvements!
