Apocalypse PD! - An Airborne port for PlayDate!
A downloadable Apocalypse PD!
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.
