A downloadable game for Windows

Developed for Brackeys' Game Jam 2024.2

Welcome to FunnelBusters, a game about flying your trusty plane, the Jackalope, down into the funnel of a raging mega-tornado to collect materials and cargo. Enjoy the  brief moment of calm to upgrade your aircraft between missions before diving back into the storm for more of the good stuff.


Controls (Works with Mouse/KB or Controller (tested with Xbox controller):

 - W/S (Analog Up/Down) - Pitch

 - Q/E (Analog Left/Right) - Roll

 - A/D (Left/Right Bumper) - Yaw 

**(Roll then Pitch, it's much more effective for turning than Yaw. I would only use Yaw for minor adjustments to direction)**

 - SHIFT (Right Trigger) - Throttle

 - CTRL (Left Trigger) - Brake

 - Escape (Start) - Pause



Known issues (fixes for these planned for future builds):

- There are a bazillion particles, so if you've got some older or less powerful hardware, you may have some FPS issues.  

-Upgrades don't persist from mission to mission. This is corrected in the current version that I'll upload after the jam.

- Holding roll in one direction or another will eventually ramp your roll speed to ludicrous levels and maybe crash the game if it doesn't roll you out of the funnel and kill the plane first.  As long as you fly like a normal human, you'll be fine. This is corrected in the current version that I'll upload after the jam.

- Upgrading your cargo hold doesn't do much of anything at the moment, as the cargo system isn't fully implemented beyond mission objectives.

- While items spawn dynamically throughout the length of the funnel, they don't stop spawning, and they can spawn above or below your position, so it's not uncommon for there to be items behind you as well.
