Your planet is under attack !

Gear up and annihilate the invaders with your planes, and track them down up to the stratosphere.

---INSTRUCTIONS---

1. FLY WITH YOUR MOUSE. The plane will go towards your crosshair.

TIP : DON'T PUT THE CROSSHAIR TOO CLOSE TO THE PLANE. You won't have a smooth flying otherwise.

2. Dive to gain speed, HOLD LEFT CLICK TO SHOOT.(exepted for lvl 2 where you shoot by bursts)

3. USE YOUR SPECIAL SKILL WITH RIGHT CLICK. The big red button indicates when you can use it.

4.Kill enemies. Don't die.You'll get a better plane as you go up.

---SPECIAL SKILLS---

Level 1 : Rapid Dive to dodge enemies.

Level 2 : Full throttle dash. You are invulnerable and can pierce through enemies.

Level 3 : Drop a bomb. You can either wait for it to touch something or blow it up manually using Right Mouse Button Again.

Level 4 : Big Ass Laser. You can KILL EVERYTHING. Everywhere.

Funny game, made me think at Luftrausers ! But the drop in the music of the first level is a bit dissapointed, I was waiting for something more.. punchy !

Ahah lots of fun ! The gamefeel is great too ! Good work guys !

This was a very fun game! Good all the way around. Like a side scrolling 1942. Good job!

super cool sprites

Cool game. The sprites were well made and the advance of the enemies was very challenging. These poor birds though.

really good game, and i liked how every level lets you play a different plane with different abilities instead of upgrading the same one, plus you get to go to spaaaaace ! well done :)

I really love the art
ChaosCult16 Dec 2015, 10:29
Very cool. The plane controls could use more work - it's very twitchy atm, feels strange and buggy. Otherwise great game.

Nice job, clasic gameplay but effective.

Level 3 was great, i loved the music and the space ducks. :D Controls were weird tho, for most of the time I had no idea what's going on and the plane was all bananas. :D

badass game over here! *drops a bomb, kills haters*
Max Amaden16 Dec 2015, 20:02
Fun little game! I think if the flying was a bit more physics-based it would have felt a lot smoother to play, but otherwise it was a fun game overall! Keep up the good work!
zguerrero16 Dec 2015, 20:11
Graphics are great!
simon.parzer16 Dec 2015, 20:33
For a Ludum Dare entry this has a lot of content! I'm especially impressed with the graphics and music.
I didn't see how you used the theme though.

Funny game, well done!
Controls are not so good at first, but I like your style, music, graphics.

It's a really fun game for me! :D

And.. duck in spaaace!!

@Simon : You only use the mouse, being a two button controller (wich made the controls difficult for some people). :)
And there is the growing in speed/altitude/power throughout the game but it is a bit less obvious.
Chewie16 Dec 2015, 20:42
+ Visuals are good
+ Different planes/enemies and weapons, that's nice
- Mouse close to the airplane make it behave strangely (Yes I know it was in description but it affects gameplay)
- Overall speed is a bit to hi and bullets are slow, it makes game harder and less enjoyable

Loved the aquarium-helmet ducks!

Great art, cool physics! Great work on this! I enjoyed it.

+ Fun gameplay.
+ Nice graphics.

- Music is too loud.
- Sometimes when the ship rotates, it rotates too fast back and forth.
Quique17 Dec 2015, 19:30
Wow! a great game.
The graphics are good, but the plane movement could be more smooth.
Great job.

Nice game. I enjoyed the music and the gameplay was great.

What made the game weird is the realism matched with fast controls.. you know, planes don't move this way.. you should have used a simpler art or made a different gameplay mechanics.
Niels.Tiercelin
Niels.Tiercelinauthor18 Dec 2015, 14:58
@Nunesbarbosa : There is absolutely no realism in this game. For example, planes don't shoot fireballs, nor ducks fly in space. Thanks for playing anyway.
Ludic18 Dec 2015, 18:52
Fun game, i like the music of all levels and the difference between each ship its a nice touch.
camlang18 Dec 2015, 18:56
It seems as the enemies take too many bullets to kill. Most of the time I was blasting through them)

The game feels wrong to play, but the art is super good. Excellent sprites, excellent music, great mood.
Janacek18 Dec 2015, 19:29
Nice game ! Nice graphics ! Nice music ! Just the controls who sometimes make you hit planes :o
SHLFStudios18 Dec 2015, 20:02
Not bad, but I feel like this skirts the theme of two button control... because mouse movement is kinda technically 4 button control on it's own (positive and negative axis). It's very well put together, and the music is pretty good!

Beautiful, but not very interesting gameplay.
justinooncx19 Dec 2015, 07:51
Nice and polished looking game, but the way the ship handles was really wonky. Still, it was fun!

Cool Game. I love the graphics and the music.

Pretty fun entry. I liked how you were in control of a different plane each level. Controls could do with some tweaking though.
