Double Wings
双翼飞机
Double Wings is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up released in 1993 by Mitchell for arcade hardware. Players pilot a biplane through waves of enemy aircraft, ground targets, and bosses across multiple stages. The game supports two-player simultaneous cooperative play, allowing both pilots to tackle the enemy formations together. Players collect power-ups to strengthen their firepower, including spread shots and other weapon enhancements. Controls follow the standard shooter layout, with a joystick for movement and buttons for shooting and bombing. The visual style draws on a World War I aesthetic, featuring vintage aircraft designs and period-appropriate environments. Each stage ends with a boss encounter that requires pattern recognition to defeat. Mitchell's design keeps the action fast-paced and demands careful management of both movement and weapon upgrades throughout.
