More about this game
Take control of a classic fighter plane and battle through 10 stages of enemy forces. Your plane fires automatically, leaving you to focus on dodging enemy bullets and collecting power-ups. Each stage ends with a massive boss fight, and the difficulty increases as enemies become faster and fire more complex patterns. You start with 3 lives and 2 bombs, and the run ends when you lose all your lives. The game features a roster of aircraft with unique stats and weapon types, such as the P38 Lightning and the Shinden.
Tips
- Use your bombs when you are cornered; they clear enemy bullets, give you 2.5 seconds of invulnerability, and deal massive damage.
- Focus on dodging rather than aiming, as your plane fires automatically. Pay attention to the small white dot on your plane, which is your actual hitbox.
- Try to collect the 1UP item that drops during the pre-boss wave on odd-numbered stages. You can also earn extra points by collecting power-ups when your weapons are fully upgraded.
