Our take on Skywriter

The defining mechanic is drawing figures by steering a plane and leaving a smoke trail behind it.

What is Skywriter?

Skywriter is a puzzle game about piloting a plane while drawing figures with its smoke trail.

Progress requires precise movement, with speed and planning also affecting performance. The game includes 60 levels, each offering a three-star goal. Balloons can be popped for bonus credits and score increases. A free-form creative mode lets players make their own drawings, with several smoke-trail types available. New planes and paint schemes can be unlocked for customization.
