Ace of Aberration

Ace of Aberration is a multiplayer, turn-based flying game. This game was made for the Acerola Jam 0

The aberration is that this game does not use any networking. Players must communicate their moves verbally, as described below. This game was inspired by the "Ace of Aces" series of multiplayer dogfighting books (yes, books)

(Unfortunately I was unable to add combat before the jam ended. And a lot of the UI isn't implemented)

To play, select Multi Player option and then choose the plane you and your opponent are using. Click the arrow icon on the bottom left corner to open the maneuver selection screen.

You and your opponent both choose the maneuvers you want to use for this turn. The screen will display "Your move" and a two-letter code. Exchange this code with your opponent verbally, using discord, etc. Enter your opponent's move in the text field and click "Confirm"

The game will execute both maneuvers simultaneously and the movement will be synced between the you and your opponent's screen.

Alternatively, choose a Single Player free flight option. There is no code to exchange with anyone and you can fly around the map freely.

The maneuvers you have available depend on your speed. When you are slow, you only have "Accelerate to Cruise" available. At cruise speed, you can choose from multiple maneuvers and at fast speed, you have even more options.

There is no combat or win condition. Most of the menu system is not implemented.
