Soar!

Soar! is a runner-type game where you control a glider, trying to fly as far as you can.

A glider (or sailplane) is a plane that takes advantage of vertical winds to soar and fly great distances without a need for an engine.

Tutorial:

• Use the arrows or WASD to control the glider. Forward makes you go faster, but sink faster, backward does the opposite. Hold shift for sharper turns. Hold CapsLock to extend the air-brakes. It should also work with a gamepad.
• Use the winds to gain altitude. Rising winds can be found under clouds, or on the windward side of mountains.
• You have a small engine to gain height when you collide with the terrain, but you only have enough fuel for three saves!
• Your score is proportional to the distance you travel forward from the starting point. However, it only counts if you land safely on an landing strip! Also, you might want to land before it gets dark...

I made it for the 2023 aviator game jam.
