Glider Retro

Glider Retro is a port of Glider 4.0 to the Playdate. Glider is by far my favorite classic Macintosh game. You fly John Calhoun’s paper airplane through a house, room by room, riding the air from the floor vents and trying to make it to the end without crashing into anything.

I think it’s a great match for the Playdate’s display. Just look at those crispy pixels in the screenshot above.

It’s just 5 bucks and totally worth it. Insta-buy for me.

No Playdate? You can still give the original a go on Infinite Mac. It’s on the Infinite HD, under Games → Glider.
