I was actually pleasantly surprised by this. The game looks pretty good actually, and the music is also way better than I was expecting ngl, it is deserved of having it's own downloadable after all.
I also really do love this control scheme, it feels quite smooth and simulates a plane control really well imo, and it feels awesome to precisely squeeze into bullet gaps with that, and when I died trying to do so it did always felt like it was the fault of my own stupidity so that's always nice :>
Other than that I don't really have much else to say about the game, it do feel pretty simple still, but hey, no problem with that.

On a more unrelated side-note tho, I Love how you went completely overboard with the story xD
I can tell you were really having a lot of fun with this, and honestly, you got me hooked, I was fully invested on it. Next time try using another background for the game page tho, or at least a better font color, because it was kinda hard to read it as it is now, but this already have nothing to do with the game itself anyway x3

Thank you!:)

Yeah, I'll definitely get on revising the game page, so that the text is more legible ASAP.


Thanks again for the feedback:)

This was fun, presentation is nice, controlling such plane against aliens sure is a cool setting, I like the music and flying feels good as long as you're in fast mode, the simulation movement makes for a nice change of pace compared with other entries. Good job.

I see a lot of potential for a top down plan game like this. The look and sound was great and it was fun hunting down the flying saucers.

Really cool explosions ! The gameplay works pretty well, maybe enemies lack a bit of range, I found it easy to just stay out of their reach and shoot them while they are not on screen, which made it quite less fun than dodging bullets . 

Overall, it was quite fun ! The level is quite long, but not too much so it did not feel repetitive, and it was the right level of difficulty for me, I finished it with zero lives left.

Thank you!:)

Yeah, I definitely need to incorporate changes in terms of bullet speed and particle duration, which I will definitely be implementing after the voting phase is over.

Thanks for the feedback.  Cheers:)

Really cool concept !

I dig the theme of fending off an alien invasion with WW1 era but more style biplanes ^^

The models also look really good, and i like the abundance of effecs for impacts and not to mention these fancy Explosions :O

Controls are pretty smooth as well, and the mouse aiming made it for just spot on precision for both shooting and navigationg through bullet patterns.

Music is also quite cool !

Overall solid entry, great job :)
