Clone of the arcade game Galaxian, but replaces the alien spaceships with planes and helicopters.
What is happening now
Planes is a puzzle-racing simulator released in 2013 for PC and Wii U. The game blends multiple genres into an adventure experience that appears to involve aircraft management and flight mechanics. Recent activity has been sparse. One headline references Wings of Heroes, a multiplayer game with Second World War aircraft themes that has seen updates adding new planes like the Hawker Hurricane. The other coverage item concerns real-world aviation and AI technology designed to reduce contrails - unrelated to the game itself, likely appearing in search results due to keyword overlap.
