Glider 4.0 is John Calhoun's side-scrolling arcade game in which the player pilots a paper airplane through the rooms of a house, riding lift from heater vents while dodging tables, shelves, balloons, and rival gliders. It is the first commercial release in the Glider series and the direct predecessor to Glider PRO.GameplayCatch updrafts from floor vents to stay aloft and steer through cluttered rooms. Pick up power-ups such as batteries for extra speed, rubber bands to shoot obstacles, and spare gliders to extend your run.What's new in 4.0Adds polished art, improved physics, and a built-in room editor that lets players design and share their own houses, fueling a small community of fan-made levels and custom art files.Author and publisherWritten by John Calhoun and published by Casady & Greene in 1991.
