Clobetech released a demo of Dancing Wings - The Aerobatic Simulator on Steam on August 26, 2026. Players pilot a T-4 jet trainer in a Blue Impulse-inspired paint scheme. The demo features formation flight with up to three aircraft, some CURRICULUM modes, and online replay sharing, while the full version supports up to six aircraft.
The demo release gives Steam users their first hands-on look at the game's central mechanic: recording a flight as a replay and overlaying it on the next one, so a single pilot can build a formation of up to six aircraft.
Dancing Wings simulates aerodynamics by calculating lift, gravity, thrust, and drag, and uses real elevation data so flights can pass over Higashimatsushima City, Ishinomaki City, and Kinkasan Island. The demo limits formation flights to three aircraft and each flight to five minutes, with only some CURRICULUM modes playable and three replay uploads per day.
Online servers let players share replay data, so formations can incorporate other pilots' flights or join someone else's. The full version extends formation size to six aircraft, flights to 60 minutes, and replay uploads to ten per day. Clobetech notes the game is not officially endorsed by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
