Mars Test Flight
A downloadable game for Windows
Inspired by NASA & NASA JPL's incredible success in testing flight on another planet, I made a little Ingenuity game!
The game is very small and very simple, you must take off and maintain altitude for a set period before gently landing back on the surface. Or you can just mess around in Free Flight mode.
Challenges are presented in the form of some 'Martian Wind' which creates a little turbulence for Ingenuity (not sure how scientifically accurate that is but whatever) and having to control the descent back onto the Mars surface.
The game was largely built over a weekend so expect some bugs or weird stuff to happen occasionally as it is just a small, little thing. Feel free to let me know if you spot anything absolutely horrendous!
N.B. The model comes from NASA JPL's own website which is very handy.

What are the controls?
Ah, that is a GREAT question. Currently uses a controller only, left stick to steady and right trigger to increase altitude. Have also added these in a text box on the main menu.
Could you add keyboard controls, I really want to play this game on keyboard?
I will try! Bit pushed for time this week but will do my best
Done! Version 1.0.2 has Keyboard controls - Space bar and Left/Right arrows.
Great! Thanks
