Been playing Highwind for a couple months now. It’s basically a game where you control a paper plane and have to destroy enemy planes while protecting your own. You’ve got two buttons – one shoots bullets and the other activates a shield to block and reflect enemy fire.
There’s a bunch of different enemy planes and obstacles to deal with, and you can upgrade your plane’s health, shield, and ammo as you progress. And each time you beat a level, you get a special power-up to help you out. The goal is to travel to different dimensions and rack up points to unlock new planes and game modes.
Look, if you’re into strategy games with a bit of action, you’ll probably dig Highwind. It’s not perfect – the upgrades take forever at higher levels and it can get a little repetitive after a while – but overall it’s a pretty solid time killer.
