Does anyone remember Planes! ?
It was that one .io-like game with the planes. There was a 2D vertical map where powerups would drop from the top of the sky.
The normal ability was single shot bullets, which you had infinite of, and there was an orange Multishot one, which gave you something like 300 bullets which shot 3 at once, at angles. There was a red Missiles which targeted people and 1-hit, black Bombs which fell down, and you'd always get people flying along at the height limit dropping all 10 while scrounging for other powerups (also 1-hits), and blue Lasers which fired in a long straight line instantly.
If you killed someone with a powerup, it would drop, and there were also green Health packs. You could also ram into other planes and you would both take almost fatal damage while having your engines disable, and you would have to be lucky and fall into a Healthpack or shooting down your opponent as you span out of control to survive (killing another player also healed you), and there was a purple Kamikaze powerup that let you use a short speed-boost that would keep you safe from collisions and do more damage to people you hit.
Sometimes there would be certain special powers or events, like the Superweapon which was a massive powerful long-ranged laser which everyone would fight over for several minutes before it eventually fell into the ocean, or the entire battlefield would be transported to space, where there was no more gravity but many asteroids you had to avoid or shoot.
I think my favourite was the Warships, because it (mostly) turned the chaotic battlefield into an ordered (ish) alliance to destroy them before they got too far. They could take down a plane in a single hit, and their cannonballs were hard to avoid, but destroying one would give you lots of points.
Like in most .io games of that time (Agar.io, Slither.io, Narwhale.io etc) there was a leaderboard, and the person at the top got a crown, and in this case an extra big health bar, but with the downside that every other player knew which direction they were. I sometimes would alternate between being an assassin (targeting the ruler specifically) or a bodyguard (trying to protect them, which often got me shot down by them because they thought I was just another attacker).
I really wish I could play it again, but I can't find it, and
wait it was called Wings! wasn't it.
HOLY SHIT IT STILL EXISTS
I just started playing at got immediately killed with the Superweapon.
I'm so happy right now.
