Wings of Fire (game)

The Wings of Fire Game was a standard shoot 'em up from the top-down perspective. The description of the game on the front page was "Help the dragonets defend the skies!" You could previously play it on the Scholastic website, but it no longer exists. However, the game is archived and playable on The Internet Archive.

Playing the game

When you went to the game's page, it would load in your browser. The title is "Wings of Fire" despite being called "Game" on the home page. You controlled Clay by clicking and dragging — if you were on mobile, you could drag him on the touch screen. Clay automatically fired when enemy dragons, probably SeaWings (based on their coloration and skin patterns), are on screen. He lost health when hit by the SeaWing's projectiles. You could not proceed to the top half of the screen, and there was no penalty for allowing an enemy to reach the bottom. You could also touch the SeaWings without taking damage, though their projectiles would likely hit you. When Clay or a SeaWing dies, they explode. There was no music, and all of the sound effects were generic. The game had no end; the only objective was to get the highest possible score.

All of the high scores were recorded on Scholastic's website on a leaderboard separated into weekly, monthly, and all-time high scores.

Trivia

• The game had you play as Clay even though the description stated that you helped all of the dragonets.
