Paragliding Online Games

Well Almost! Some Addictive Parachute-style Games

If you want to do some paragliding online, there's not that much out there in early 2008. However, I did a little scout around and here's the results. A motley collection of online games which involve a flying canopy of some kind!

Sorry folks, no-one seems to have put in the time and effort to produce a great online game specifically about paragliding.

However, you can be sure some of the games below will suck you in and waste a bit of your time, don't you worry! With extremely simple controls, there's hardly any learning curve at all.

The best ones are listed first, although you might disagree. In that case, just keep going and try 1 or 2 more! I've given each game a small review and a score out of 10, after playing it for a while.

Base Jumping has a hard and an easy mode, and you can progress through Leagues if you beat the other 3 jumpers in a series of jumps. The idea is to beat all the others to the ground! Sounds risky? You bet! Pull the ripcord too late and it's splat! Game over. You can also get an advantage by reacting quicker than the others to the Go signal.

Actually, despite the game-play being quite simple, this is a very cute game visually, with great graphics and smooth motion. Nothing like paragliding online, but very addictive, and I'm giving it 9/10!

Parachute Plunder is a multi-level arcade game where you guide a drifting parachute left, right, up and down. Up and down? Well I guess it could correspond to the brake lines and speed bar, in a very crude sort of way! Vaguely like paragliding online.

I thought this game was quite OK, with the levels smoothly increasing in difficulty. The idea is to pick up some objects and avoid others. Plus a few other twists, but I'll let you play it to find out more! Limited lives, the usual caper. It's quite good, so I'll give it 8/10.

Parachute Plunder Fly the parachute through the islands to land safely.

Parachute Retro is entertaining in a sick kind of way! Fairly crude line graphics, hence Retro in the title, but a decent amount of complexity in the levels as they get higher. Stick figure scientists dropped from the helicopter endure terrible fates. Body parts flying from heli blades, blood on the ground, blood on the impaling poles (!) and so on. Rockets explode hapless stick figures into instant gore. Do you get the picture?

The idea is to time the drops so the scientists bounce safely off the pillows in the trailer being towed along the bottom of the screen. Of course, this gets harder each time you safely land a scientist. Also there are these bizarre clouds which come across and snag the dropped scientists from time to time, only to drop them again after a short time interval! Never knew water vapor could be so sticky!

Because of the satisfying amount and variety of action in the higher levels, and the creativity displayed, I think this game is still worth 7/10.

Daffy Jump is fun and cute but not so addictive due to the poorly programmed windsock. The idea is to time the exit from the plane and also the opening of the parachute, in order to drift Daffy onto the target. However, the windsock's indication of wind speed often doesn't match Daffy's drift speed accurately enough.

Mind you, the game has a good concept and it's possible to get a bit more used to that dodgy windsock, which is actually a pair of undies on a bendy pole! All in all, I'll rate it 6/10.

So far, none of these game are really like paragliding online are they! What we need is a really creative and bored paraglider pilot with some Flash programming skills to come up with something during the winter months... Any takers?

Daffy Jump Help Daffy Duck to parachute land on the targets as you tell him when to jump out of the plane and when to pull the 'chute. Judge the wind, direction, speed and time as you aim to get a perfect score by hitting the target every time. Good duck luck!

The Paratrooper is pretty average in terms of game play, but I love the clouds! Some images of real clouds are used in the graphics. You have simple left/right control of the descending paratrooper, with the aim of landing on a moving boat at the bottom. Oh yes, look out for flapping birds that will send you plummeting to the waves below! The levels get harder quite suddenly when those pesky birds speed up! The jet packs you pick up on your way down allow you to move sideways at incredible speed, until they run out of juice.

All a bit odd, but hey, the kid who wrote it might have only been 13 you never know... Visually a bit crude, but addictive enough for a bit of fun. 5/10 for this one.

Hey, if you stretch your imagination to the limit, maybe you might feel you are paragliding online!

Sol Bomber is nicely challenging as a game, but the parachuting action is quite unexciting! You release the paratrooper as you cross the target and blip, he's gone... and that's it! For that reason I'll give it just 4/10.

Paragliding online? Nah, nothing like it. However, you might enjoy it as a bombing arcade game, and the graphics are reasonable.

Sol Bomber An excellent parachuting game. The closer you land to your target, the more points you will score! Avoid the seagulls at all costs! Collide with too many seagulls and you'll have to eject yourself from the plane, terminating the mission in the process. Use your mouse to release the parachuters, but try to fly a little ahead of the targets. Good luck, pilot!
