The Aurora Wager is basically a one life try in going to the north pole... on a hot air balloon... with wind... and complete catastrophe. The game was made in 7 days and it's very impressive. It's amazingly hard and actually feels like a realistic simulation. I have not beaten it, but I'm trying! The game gives you the hot air balloon, then it gives you the tools to get it going, it gives you a compass to see where north is, and the game actually has some slight exploration. Like stated on the game's website (a blog) the game is inspired by:
- Roguelikes
- Proteus
- Kerbal Space Program
- Dear Esther
- Last Exile
- Steamboy
- Minecraft
So basically it's pure awesome.
If you wanna give the game a try, and watch Mr. Dan (Nerdcubed)
