Wind Tunnel

Steer a glider down an endless sunset canyon that twists, narrows and speeds up. Ride the gold zone to stack a multiplier and fight sudden gusts of wind.

Wind Tunnel is an endless arcade glider game set in a winding sandstone canyon at sunset. Your little kite-shaped glider flies forward on its own while the canyon walls scroll toward you. Hold the left or right side of the screen to fire the fans on that side and drift across, keeping the glider clear of the rock as the passage bends back and forth.

A dashed gold band snakes through the middle of the canyon. Stay inside it for a second and a half and your score multiplier climbs, all the way up to x6, but slip out and it drops straight back to x1. Over time the canyon narrows, the bends get sharper and your speed rises. Random gusts of wind push the glider sideways, with an on-screen warning showing which way they blow, so you have to correct against them. Scraping a wall costs one of three lives and resets your multiplier, with a short moment of safety afterward.

This endless flying game is for players who enjoy smooth steering, rising speed and score chasing in short runs. Tip: make small, early taps instead of long holds, since the glider keeps its sideways momentum and over-steering is the most common way to crash.

How to play

Hold the left or right half of the screen, or press the arrow keys or A and D, to steer the glider. Avoid the canyon walls and stay inside the gold zone to raise your score multiplier up to x6. Gusts push you sideways, and hitting a wall costs a life and resets the multiplier. The run ends after three crashes.
