Have you ever wished you could be a fighter pilot, tumbling through the skies, pirouetting through the air as you take out enemies on all sides? Honestly, me neither until a few minutes ago when I first saw the Wind Runners trailer. Now I'm humming the Top Gun soundtrack and searching Vinted for second-hand flight suits. Take a look.
Wind Runners looks like a kinetic 2D shooter that channels a little of Vlambeer's classic Luftrausers, but that brings in a vibrant anime-inspired world flecked with roguelike elements. As someone with an attention span measured in nanoseconds, the idea of being able to hop in and immediately get the full experience from a game without waiting around is a tempting one. It should appeal to people used to playing classic shoot-'em-ups as well as the adrenaline junkies.
