Parachute
Miguetelo returns to Bumfun with this conversion of an Atari classic.
Avoid all the mayhem in the skies in order to reach your landing pad safe and sound. Survive to do it all over again but with ever more increasing levels of difficulty.
Trust in your parachute, gravity and the will of the gods to bring you in to safety.
Instructions
Your mission is to land successfully at your home base. Simple, right? Well, no. There are all kinds of menacing obstacles to avoid. Oh, and then there's the fuel situation. It'll run out whenever you burn it and helps you to descend faster. The choice of when to use it is up to you - but when it's gone, it's gone!
There are some areas where you can refuel, though, so all is not lost. Keep your eyes open for gravity-defying fuel tanks as you never know when you'll need that precious speed boost.
You can also ride the omnipotent thermal winds found in each level by pressing up. This will not burn fuel and can be used tactically to buy more time and also to boost your score (the longer you spend in the air, the higher it will get).
