One-liner
A little menu bar game for while your AI works: your desktop becomes a block world, and you fly a little plane low over it to wake it up.
Short description
Waitwing is a tiny menu bar game for Mac and Windows. Hit "Take off" and your current desktop becomes a gray block world; fly a little plane low over it and the land comes back to life. Apps in your Dock or taskbar become little creatures, 17 skippable puzzles wait along the way, and when your AI assistant finishes, a pigeon flies in to tell you. The screenshot only lives in memory, and apart from checking for updates the game never goes online.
