I've played a sizeable amount of burrito bison, toss the turtle, and flight back in the day. It's nice to see this style of game never goes out of fashion, and with level based objectives instead of just upgrades it was a lot less of a drag making it to the end. Upgrade prices did get pretty lofty, and level 12 took a bit of effort to figure out, but it certainly kept my attention to the end. I even went back to level 1 with all of the upgrades in order to see how far I could launch (971.93 cm btw)

Thanks for playing!! Glad it was fun even though some of those later levels are not functioning correctly
All of us on the team are big fans of the genre 💯
