WingNuts: Temporal Navigator is a 2001 top-down multi-directional shooter for Macintosh made by Freeverse Software. It was inspired by arcade games Time Pilot and 1942.[1][2]

In WingNuts, the player navigates an aircraft around a two-dimensional map, and travels through time to fight robot planes and defeat the game's antagonist, Baron Von Schtopwatch. To progress, the player must destroy hostile aircraft and ground vehicles, while avoiding hazards and picking up "goodies". At the end of each level, a final boss appears, whose defeat unlocks the next level.[3][4][1]

Freeverse released a sequel, WingNuts 2: Raina's Revenge in mid-2006,[5] and subsequently made the original game available on their website for free.[6][7]
