Wreckwing became a game you play. You fly a gunship through the streets and fight an enemy pilot among falling buildings.

Done when

The city dogfight plays from the Start menu, with a flown gunship, an enemy pilot, weapons with reloads, damage states, crashes and a results screen.

This is where Wreckwing became a game. The ship flies low by design, under a ceiling of about two and a half stories. Release 0.14, Fly low and the first dogfight playtest cover it.
