Swoop n' Scoop

"Flip and fly through the sky,

wrangling up the birds(?) you spy

Circle 'em with your trail of cloud

but careful not to through them plow...d"

- Karl Marx

Capture birds to reach the high-score in this arcade-style game. Loop and flip your plane to form circles around birds to catch them; string together combos and round up large groups of birds for score multipliers. Careful not to run into anything: birds will get knocked out cold, and running into other things may prove disastrous for you.
