When I saw the screenshots, I was expecting this to be like a "1943" arcade game clone, but what I got instead was this interesting surprise of a game! I really liked the like landscapes you were able to make with your sprites. Like, "PEARL HARBOR" , to me, looked really good, from the coastline to all the little building structures.
Dog fighting with other aircraft felt fun from a control standpoint. Really liked the tense feeling of being chased by them; having to frantically move else be peppered by their bullets if I fly in a straight line.
I like your concept of this game. My only big critique is that I feel that the enemies are both too responsive / too fast right from the get go. For example, I feel that if maybe the stationary turrets were a bit slower with turning, maybe at least initially for the first stage or two, it would give a much more forgivable learning curve. The planes already move at a relatively fast pace, so I think it may be a good balancing decision since the playing field is already skewed against you. Maybe I just suck, I did die like five times on Tutorial 1 lmao.
All in all I really did enjoy playing this. I liked you take on this type of game, and I definitely see myself wanted to play more.
Well done!

Cool game! I like the concept, and I think just a bit of extra polish could make this into a really awesome game! The music suits the game and I like the control scheme! :D
Cool! GameBoy flight sim )))
It is hard to get used to controls at first, but once you get it could be quite fun :)
That's a really good idea. I like the planes movement, feels really good!
But you get destroyed too quick. I think it would have been nice if there was a quick restart, so that you can have another try right after failing and maybe starting very close to the action. That would motivate alot to try and try again. :)
The backgrounds looks really nice but I would have liked if the planes looked more like planes. But maybe that wasn't possible with all the angles? :)
Wow I destroyed so many villages... I think I may be a war criminal now. The game was pretty challenging, I couldn't quite finish the last level. I did enjoy having the bombs available for use!
Having multiple levels of difficulty was much appreciated.
Nice Work! Holy cow it was hard!! The towers were *super* accurate. Clever idea for a game! Good job staying within the confines of the jam. The pixel art was good. I sometimes couldn't tell the sounds apart, if I was getting hit or them. Usually, it was me, haha. :)
Well done with this one Opalir! I really like how responsive and smooth the controls are! The game is also really snappy which makes it super addictive to just have another quick go! Great Job!
Really nice game. The graphics are pretty nice (I love the colors you chose :3) and I like the diversity of the levels. On the other hand, the game is very difficult and pressing W to go forward makes the gameplay kinda not intuitive, but nothing serious. A good game ^^
I enjoyed cleared easy and normal. I think too hard. need more health and invincible time after damage.
When I do good move and kill enemies, I feel I am great pilot.
sorry, i resend my comment.
