Marshaller of Inalpla
The marshallers of the interdimensionary aircraft landing platform, InALPla, take care of landing dragons, flying snails, and the occasional airbus. Follow a sequence of poses given in your mission brief, so business on the landing strip goes smoothly. Don't let anyone crash! They will fire you for sure. Or if you just prove incompetent by not following your briefs.
All work is more fun with gamification, so you get points for doing it well. Can you get the highest score?

Marshallers take care of signalling incoming aircraft. Famously they use coloured paddels or torches to make themselves seen. A set of signal poses tell pilots when to brake, when to turn, or when to stop.

An entry for Ludum Dare 59 jam, for the theme "Signal".

It's a challenging game, but once you memorize the signs, it's pretty enjoyable, nice one! My kids also played and had a ton of laugh, especially when aircrafts where coming closer and closer :D
Haha, I'm glad y'all liked it - it was quite something to have them come so close but I felt it was a cool part of the job of marshallling!
This is really clever! I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a video game where you signal for airplanes (let alone dragons!), and you executed it well here. I love the bonus for remembering poses (even though I never remembered any lol, so I never got the bonuses), and the art and control layouts are really awesome.

Thank you! There was at least one more with the theme in the LD jam. I love jams giving me an opportunity to use such wacky controls. Happy to hear you had fun!
I haven't gotten to that one yet, but now I'm extra curious! 👀
And YES! LOL Ludum Dare is such an awesome excuse to try new things and experiment around. I especially love unique controls, so I love to see it.
