How it feels

A fast, arcade-style flight combat game with colorful visuals and lighthearted alien-blasting action, focused on upgrading your aircraft and improving piloting skills.

What players say

Players praise the retro arcade feel and call it a spiritual successor to classic games like Virus and Lander, but they split on the controls. The ship moves by tilting and using a bottom thruster, which some find floaty and unintuitive, while others say it clicks after a couple of hours. Performance can drop from 60 to 30 FPS on larger maps.
