About Highwind

A unique take on a shooter. Overall the game is very good. Fun yet challenging with various modes of gameplay. You can unlock new planes, each with its own abilities. The only thing I dislike about the game is when you die you lose your money. I have yet to be able to upgrade my health (200 gold). Money doesn't come...
Nice to see an original game concept from time to time! And this one is very well implemented too!
Really Nice Game. Smooth Graphics, Great Concept & Gameplay. A HUGE Shout-out For The Developers. You Did A Great Job! Really An Amazing Game!
Simple, smooth and good for free time games.
so much better than the expected!
Great game
