AraratFM
A downloadable game for Android
When the old world doesn’t fit anymore, it’s time to sail away. The voice of Ararat heard from the radio encourage you to reach the new land.
Will you get to Ararat?
Does Ararat really exist?
Take control of a steampunk airship, flying it forward as far as your fuel tank takes you. While tending to its mechanical needs, feel the sense of open-ended journey, alone with your vehicle.
The constant movement forward while optimizing fuel consumption and attending wind changes are the key mechanics of the gameplay.
Once the old world is left behind, the endless skies opens up.
This game was developed as a final project during the Game Design and Development course in Mentor College, Israel.

I loved this game, but for anyone who wants to sink as many hours as I did into the game to answer the two bold questions (as I did) here are the answers.
Will you get to Ararat?
No. The game has no ending. Reach 99,999 and it loops to 00000. After reaching ~62,000 you cannot land, so even if Ararat is beneath you, you still cannot get to it.
Does Ararat even exist?
I suppose this one will forever be a mystery.
You should play this game, just don't play for as long as I did. Give it a try, the journey is the best part.
