Ania Kubów: Very well made game with smooth movements and wonderful pixel graphics. I enjoyed the level of personalisation available to the player with the options menu. Loved it!
Noël Meudec: I really like the retro style of this game. The graphics are good, and I like the shadow under all the aircrafts (nice touch!). The controls are not ideal though. I cannot rotate and apply thrust at the same time, which feels unnatural and makes it hard to play. It is also lacking a background music and a bit of variety (I played 4 levels and they were identical, become increasingly, but super slowly, harder). Tinting the color of the background could be a simple trick to show progression for example, and adding new types of enemy too. Overall, it is a simple game with a cool vibe but it needs a few tweaks to make it a great gaming experience.
