Apocalypse PD!

ENLIST,   SURVIVE,   REPEAT 


They’re coming. You’re the last line of defense.

In 1984, Airborne! was one of the very first action games on Macintosh – fast, brutal, and iconic. Apocalypse PD! brings this groundbreaking classic back to life on Playdate, reimagined with crisp 1-bit visuals and full crank-based aiming.

Shoot down waves of paratroopers before they hit the ground. Time your shots. Make every bullet count. No tutorials. No mercy. Just pure reflex and cold nerves – just like it used to be.


  • 🌀 Crank-based aiming  intense, tactile control

  • 🖤 1-bit aesthetic

  • 💣 Relentless gameplay, level after level

  • 🔊 New sound design, evoking the chaos of war

  • 💾 A tribute to a forgotten gem, brought to life again on Playdate


“Pure Macintosh nostalgia, tuned for Playdate’s yellow screen and rotating weapon of choice.” – Probably someone with taste
