Two years ago today, way back before we even officially announced that we were working on SimplePlanes, Andrew and I did an April Fools joke "Announcing" what the next game would be.
That game was SimpleWheels, where you make...wheel type things.
The trailer was released in 2014, and last year on April Fools we actually released it on GooglePlay. We took it off the store after a short time because we didn't want it tarnishing our reputations. However, we thought we'd re-open it for download today for those who didn't get it last year and to "make up" for our cruel joke about points being wiped out.
Ridiculous Trailer from 2014: you can see an early SimplePlanes prototype plane in there.

Sorry, iOS users, it is a bit too much effort to get a game on the App Store just for a joke :(
