Description: Work in progress, mainly looking for feedback and improvements.
Minimal Airline Manager is a lightweight airline management / idle game built around a real-world map. The core idea is to remove the usual complexity from tycoon games and focus on quick, meaningful decisions that you can make in short sessions (1–5 minutes).
You start with some money and a few planes, then open routes between major global airports. Each route generates passive income over time (including offline), and you can improve profitability by upgrading planes, adding onboard services, and reacting to “hot routes” that temporarily boost earnings.
The whole game happens on a single map screen, where your network grows visually as you expand. Airport demand changes over time, so there’s a light strategic layer without becoming overwhelming.
I’m mainly testing whether the game feels satisfying early on, if the decisions are clear, and if the progression loop is engaging enough to come back to.

Involvement: Solo developer — I designed and built the game from scratch (game design, frontend, backend, everything). Currently in early testing phase and looking for honest feedback before expanding the scope.
