About the Game

Air Cadets is a cooperative arcade flying game focused on coordination, planning, and problem-solving. Players must work together to plan routes, maintain formations, and safely navigate challenging missions where mistakes have consequences and teamwork is essential.

Distinct Pilots

Three distinct pilots, three different flying styles.

Choose from three pilots, each with unique flight characteristics that affect how they handle speed, turning, and precision. Selecting the right pilot — and understanding their strengths — is key to solving each mission efficiently.

Unique Abilities

Every pilot brings something different to the team.

Each pilot has a unique ability that can be used to overcome obstacles, coordinate with your teammates and find creative ways to whack seagulls for high score.

Cooperative Strategy

Coordination matters more than individual skill.

Levels are designed around teamwork, requiring players to coordinate positioning, abilities, and timing to succeed. Fully scoring a mission often means planning routes together and executing them in sync — not just flying well.
