More about this game
Take control of a fighter jet in this top-down arcade shooter. Your cannons fire automatically as you navigate through hostile airspace. Enemy aircraft spawn continuously at the top of the screen, weaving back and forth while firing orange bullets. The difficulty increases as time passes, with enemies spawning faster and moving quicker. You start with three armor points, losing one if you touch an enemy or their bullets. The run ends in victory when you destroy 20 targets, or in defeat if your armor reaches zero.
Tips
- Your jet fires two bullets side-by-side every shot, so try to center your target exactly between them to land both hits and deal damage quickly.
- Every enemy aircraft spawns with two health points, meaning they take exactly two hits to destroy. Keep your aim steady on a single target until it falls.
- After taking damage from a bullet or a crash, you gain exactly 1.7 seconds of invulnerability. Use this brief flashing window to reposition yourself safely away from danger.
FAQ
- How do I win the game?
- You must destroy exactly 20 enemy aircraft to secure the skies. The counter at the top of the screen tracks your progress, and the run ends in victory once you hit the target.
- How much health do I have?
- You start the sortie with 3 armor points. Taking a hit from an enemy plane or an orange bullet removes one point, and losing all three ends the run.
- Why do the enemies seem to get faster?
- As your flight time increases, the delay between enemy spawns decreases and their downward movement speed increases. This makes the airspace significantly more crowded and dangerous the longer you survive.
