Double Plane Venture

About Double Plane Venture

Double Plane Venture is an arcade game where you fly two aircraft at once. Both are in the air at the same time and both need the same things from you: they must avoid crashing, into obstacles and into each other, and they must keep collecting fuel or they explode. Controlling one plane would be straightforward. Controlling two is a completely different problem, because the moment you concentrate on saving one, the other is drifting somewhere you are not looking. That divided attention is the entire game. Runs tend to be short and the failures are almost always your own doing, which is why Double Plane Venture ends up being one more go rather than one and done.

How to Play Double Plane Venture

Each plane has its own control, usually the arrow keys for one and WASD for the other, or the two halves of a touchscreen. Steer both at the same time, avoid obstacles, and fly each plane through the fuel pickups before its tank runs dry.

Tips and Tricks

• Keep the planes apart. Flying them close together looks manageable and means one mistake takes out both.
• Collect fuel early rather than when the gauge is low. A last second dash for fuel is when crashes happen.
• Give the plane in the tighter spot your attention and let the other one fly straight. Straight is safe.
• If both planes are in trouble at once, save the one with less fuel. The other has more room to recover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I controlling two planes?

That is the challenge of the game. Managing both at the same time is what makes it difficult.

What happens if a plane runs out of fuel?

What are the controls?

One plane uses the arrow keys and the other uses WASD, or each half of the screen on a touchscreen.
