Glidefire is a free Subway Surfers alternative for iPad which comes with 3D graphics. Just like Subway Surfers, it’s an endless running game with the difference being in Subway Surfers, you have to run over trains and in this iPad game, you will have to drive a glider in space. In this game, you are an Arbiter and you have to drive your glider to avoid obstacles, collect bonuses, and defeat enemies. Yes in this game, you also have to fight with enemies and defeat them. Don’t worry, as each of the glider in this game has its weapon and power weapons. You have to use these weapons to defeat your enemies.
Apart from just driving glider and defeating enemies, there are also different space stations and achievements for you to unlock. You can also modify your character and glider with different boosters. As you will proceed in the game, you will collect XP points which will help you in increasing your Arbiter rank and eventually in reaching the top of the ranking of all Arbiters. The game also supports Facebook integration which means you can also challenge and compete against your friends.
