Looping is a 1982 Atari 2600 shooter game focused on aerial combat. Players pilot a plane tasked with completing dangerous flight maneuvers while engaging enemy aircraft and avoiding obstacles. The main objective is to survive waves of enemies and successfully perform loops to score points and progress through increasingly difficult stages.
The game’s pace is fast and requires quick reflexes as players must simultaneously manage shooting enemies and executing precise aerial loops. A unique mechanic in Looping is the emphasis on performing loops, which not only serve as a defensive maneuver but also help in scoring bonuses and clearing enemy waves.
Looping stands out for combining classic shooting gameplay with flight stunt elements, offering a distinctive challenge among Atari 2600 titles. This blend of shooter action and aerial acrobatics makes Looping a notable addition to the early 1980s shooter genre on the Atari platform.
