Congratulations ! You’ve just taken the first steps in becoming a seasoned pilot in the world of Glider for Windows, a wistful flight of fancy for those rainy days. Light-hearted exploration and adventure are the order of the day, so Glider steers clear of the weighty responsibilities that are all-to-often part of entertainment products today (destroying the death star, saving the hostages, pondering hedge-hogs from space — who can keep up with it all ?).
Your mission as a test pilot — Learn the ropes of maneuvering a paper Glider through an obstacle-filled house. By riding the thermals, collecting useful items, and avoiding nasty foes that lie in your path, you seek escape from the maze-like house to the outside world.
Sounds easy you say ? Well, perhaps tables, cabinets, and electrical outlets don’t seem particularly dangerous to you, but imagine what they mean to a paper airplane ! We’ve even heard rumors about paper-shredders, so be on your guard !
Don’t panic…Its not a cake-walk, but you are starting your mission prepared for some of the problems that you will encounter. You’ll have five Gliders to help to get you through your test. You may find batteries that will enable you to hit the turbo (by holding down the enter key) which will hurtle you forward at high speed. If you’re lucky enough to find some rubber bands, you’ll be ready for the marauding craft that seek to stop you. Just make sure that they’re about even with the level of your craft and press the space bar — snap ! They’ll be served up with a flying band that will stop them in their tracks.
Take the controls
Though you may not have flown a Glider before, you’ll probably get the hang of it very quickly. Just remember these simple controls…
Move LeftLeft Arrow Key
Move RightRight Arrow Key
Engage TurboEnter Key
Fire Rubber BandSpace Bar
With a little dexterity (of both fingers and mind), these controls are everything you need to complete your Glider Test Flight.
Remember, you’re flying a trainer !
As with any pilot in training, you won’t have access to your craft’s full set of features, but instead can get a flavor for fully fledged Glider for Windows flying during your Glider Test Flight. Some things that you can expect to enjoy when you order Glider for Windows and achieve full pilot’s status include…
• Over 60 rooms to explore and master !
• More GliderTM — 8 more crazy houses (more than 200+ rooms) !
• Full joystick and mouse support !
• Customizable flight controls !
• Save your game and pick it up later !
• Compatibility with literally hundreds more houses for Glider for Macintosh !
