Waypoints

The game is great, but the way that users can access waypoints needs to be redesigned. The way the it is currently set up, users can only access the farthest waypoint advanced to so far. This means that if a user advances to a way point which leads only to a dead end there is no way back, as this game was designed for forward progress and almost always provides access in only one direction. The user is then forced to start a new game and advance all the way to the waypoint before the last waypoint in a single game (in order to choose a different path and not be trapped anymore.) This doesnt make sense, since the user was allowed to make it to this waypoint over the course of several games (simply choosing "Last Waypoint" for each new game). From what I understand, this is not the way the original game was designed. The simplest way to fix this issue is probably to provide a menu for users to choose from when selecting "Last Waypoint" that would include all of the waypoints which have been accessed so far.

So much for *my* copious spare time...

I cant believe I only found out about this re-release of a major classic just now. And now tantalized by the idea of moving up to an iPad to enjoy it even more...

Does justice to the original

For those who dont know, this was a very popular & cherished game fir the Mac back in the day before OS X. Its a great port for iOS. I hope we see a modern sequel soon, although this will satisfy for many hours to come.

Highly recommended

John deserves some big thanks for bringing this classic back. No apple device should be without Glider, its just kind of a requirement! I know there was talk of a level editor for the OS X version, hopefully one day that will happen.

Glider Pro

Well executed re-creation of a classic Mac OS from the 90s--Glider Pro! Easy to learn, difficult to master! Would love a level editor, though!

Glider score

It doesnt keep your high score on the board

My Youth Is Restored!!!

I spent hours on this game on my Mac of long ago. Brings back a lot of great memories and the music never leaves your mind. Thank you for bringing back a classic!

Not the game I used to play

This is a far cry from what I played as a kid. I would gladly pay a few dollars more to have the option of playing the old monochrome version.

A great app for the free timer

A great app for the free timer. Best part of my review was mentioning My 2ci and my trip around Glider world. Though to date havent heard the theme on the radio, I like it as catching the way it is. Added plus: for the critic, Glider is now in color.

Yay!

So happy gilder is on iOS. I spent hours playing this in my Mac. This version plays nicely. My only wish is that they port over the original Mac version because I miss it and would love to play it again

Not the game I grew up on

Worth the money but I liked the original Mac and PC versions better.
