You don't die — you crash-land and become a MAYDAY. Your SOS hits every pilot's radio and minimap, and a stranger flies out to refuel you. The only stat is rescues (★): all 10 planes unlock with ★, not money.</p> <h2> What's in it </h2> <ul> <li>Infinite procedurally generated world (desert / ocean / mountains / city), same seed for every player</li> <li>24-minute synced day→sunset→night cycle across all clients</li> <li>Landmarks from the dead airline era: crashed airliners, beached freighters, rusted radio towers</li> <li>Even on an empty server, NPC mail planes cruise around, genuinely get stranded, and fly rescues if nobody answers your mayday within 90 seconds</li> <li>Jerrycans, mid-air self-refuel, an aerial fuel-truck plane, a seaplane that's the only one that can land on water</li> </ul> <h2> Stack </h2> <p>Three.js + Vite, zero external assets (everything is primitives + canvas + procedural WebAudio). The multiplayer server is a single Node ws file. Client and server share the same world math module.</p> <p>Runs in the browser, no install: <a href="https://playmayday.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://playmayday.com</a></p> <p>No idea about the $100k, but building it was fun.
