Glider Classic app for iPhone and iPad

Gilder and GliderPro were classics on the Mac, and we regretted its disappearance with the bankruptcy of C&G. Thank You, John Calhoun, for reviving it! Glider ist not a game, Glider is cult!

Ive been a longtime fan of the glider series from the original version that I played on my tiny black and white Mac Classic to the colour version published by Cassidy & Greene. This new iOS version takes the best of those classic games and melds them into the new version available here. The game play is easy to get into while the difficulty ramps up smoothly across the levels. The graphics are crisp, simple, and appealing. I do miss a few if the changes from the C&G version such as the elastics, paper shredder, the battery, and the oil. I cant wait for the release of the upcoming house editor. Get this game - its great casual fun.

I really like this class mac game that was brought to iOS!!! Thank you for the iPhone 5 support!! I think there should be a setting for the bar at the top with the carrier and the time, etc. so it can look more full screen. Thank you for what to do!!! P.S. If its possible to port Glider for OS X to intel, it would be amazing!!!

This is so great! Brings back memories from long ago. Simply the best glider game ever. The original has been captured on iOS. Simple to play but hard to master. Thanks for all your hard work Mr. C. Now a level editor would be awesome!

Flawless port by John to iOS. Im thrilled its the old graphics. Timeless fun! Highly recommended!

I wasted a lot of my childhood playing Glider Pro, and this really lives up to it! Its basically like having Glider, only you can take it with you! Best iOS game Ive found!

Its great to have this game back for those of us that enjoyed it many years ago and for a new generation to discover. Very much looking forward to seeing it back on OS X, hopefully with a new house editor! Thanks for all the hard work John!

Those of us who played this years ago appreciate this! More levels would be awesome. The custom levels we had for Glider Pro would be great right now!

I never did hear the punchline to that 2003 joke by John Gruber of Daring Fireball. But I give a tip of the hat to him for now alerting so many people that Glider Classic has been dusted off for the iPad and iPhone and is flying again! This game is truly a classic. The concept and play is so simple but to master it is challenging. But this game is kind. It gives you pauses to stop and think of your strategy for navigating the next challenge. And before you have gone too far you can usually back up and regroup your approach. And when you do crash you start close to where you were before. Nice, easy-going game that is as fresh and new today as it was back when.
