A Preview of Upcoming Flying Game 'BiiPlane'

posted October 28th, 2008 9:09 AM EST by Blake Patterson in Maze, Upcoming Games

Bootant, who brought us BiiBall, CubeRise and others made a post in our forums pointing to a preview video of upcoming BiiPlane, an airplane flying game that's currently under development.

There's not a great deal of information about the title at this point beyond what can be seen in the video. Gameplay consists of flying a course and moving from level to level by successfully bullseyeing rings, stars, and the like.  It reminds us of the as yet unreleased (and we do hope it makes it to market in some form or another) Wii Sports: Airplane [video] that has been demoed by Nintendo.

Right now there are 12 levels to the game, though the initial App Store release may feature a different count, and more will come with future updates.

Stay tuned for more details on this promising looking title when they become available and expect a full review when it makes its App Store debut.

    Looks good... Bootant really likes bees though don't they? :)

    Oh and don't forget to wait for the price drop, BiiBall's price is like a yoyo.

    Looks boring. This developer needs to get something that keeps gamers coming back for more when playing, not just showing off how cool the iPhone is. Need some gameplay value.

    I love the concept of flying games, so welcome the effort. However, the video demo looked really boring. Hopefully, this is more of a tech demo.

    all this company does is recycle graphics!! how can you guys not see that? This was great for Biiball, but look at their other knockoffs and you'll see they have some great IDEAS, but no graphical ingenuity...

    even so i'm looking forward to this, but i fear it will just be like a flying BiiBall..

    Also... everyone should watch the video... what's with flying games where you can't control the speed? He hit like 3 of the targets...

    PS when you submit those videos... at least have some music so we don't have to listen to you breath all heavy like..

    It's stuff like this that makes people think the iPhone/Wii aren't real video game systems. Could someone else please try to put some effort into their games? Make something fun and original for once rather than just recycle the same garbage again and again. You've used the concept of moving at a constant speed through a simple level collecting points 3 times now. It wasn't very original at the start. You haven't added any new or interesting twists. You couldn't even be bothered to make new graphics.

    And lord is the soundtrack to that video creepy or what? You're breathing so heavily! Either mute it or add a soundtrack. Maybe you could try explaining why the game is worth buying (good luck with that.)

    ... OK, I'm done trashing you. Back to making my game (hmmm... 100 levels... with only a few interesting twists of my own... I need to start thinking bigger... escorting convoys through space, mining crystals, defending archeologists, activating warp gates that bend space and time, kamikazing into alien membranes, racing rogues and catching criminals... while those concepts are great... the vast majority of the 100 levels are just shooting stuff and grabbing power ups... I need to mix it up more myself. Maybe I'll come up with random verb/noun combinations and see if those help me get another 90 creative objectives for the game.)
