About the Game

Fly around the world, deliver packages to different countries, and learn some geography along the way.

Meet friends and fly together to your next destination.

In this game your objective is to deliver packages to countries by flying over the country and dropping a parachute with the package.
You are also free to explore the world and enjoy the view.
Every time you deliver a package to a country, you unlock new airplanes - up to 9 different planes are currently available in the game.
You can use a guiding arrow and the mini-map to find your destination country, and once you feel comfortable with your acquired geography knowledge - disable the help and find the way by yourself!

The game is kids friendly, and can be a fun way to learn/teach the world geography.
It can demonstrate why planes routes on the map looks like arcs rather than straight lines (shorted path on a sphere), or show where are tall mountains and where are deserts as it uses real-world imagery and height-data.
It can also gives you a sense of how big/small things are in the real world compared to how they look on common maps (like how big is Africa and the Pacific Ocean, and how small is Europe in comparison).

This is a multiplayer game, allowing you to fly with your friends or meet new people.
Friends can set a multiplayer password to share the same world.
While leaving the password empty will join a random public world.

The game was created with emphasis on accessibility, so it can be played with keyboard, gamepad or even a full joystick/throttle HOTAS setup.

The game concept is based on Sebastian Lague's Geographical-Adventures video.
