Squadron is an homage to the classic aerial scroll-shooters with a twist - you control a growing squadron of fighters instead of just one. Gameplay emphasizes large scale battles with many casualties on both sides - you must use the fleet formation mechanic to survive.

Looks nice on max graphics. Game-play I found a little difficult. Nicely done, even though I feel it didn't follow either of the themes. Or if it did, I didn't pick up on it.
I couldn't grasp the proper concept of the game, and the controls are a bit complex for a shmup-like game. Having the formations a bit more closer to other keyboard controls could make it less complicated. :)

All download links (Windows, OS/X and Linux) are the same and point to the windows release.
