20 itemsAbout the Game
Aileron Rolling / Evading Bullets and Missiles
A much realistic approach in top down shooters, where you not only evade bullets by basic controls, but you use Aileron Rolling to evade these.
Each Side of the Plane has its Own Health
There's a health for the left, middle, and right side of the plane with clear indications on which are in danger and might cause your plane to crash!
Enemies Coming from ALL Directions
Why just have enemies coming from the top, if you can have them from all sides - just like how a real plane battle would be!
Ammos and Missiles that Deplete
Having ammunition and missiles being depleted gives a more depth and difficulty to the game with a realism in mind.
