What the store says

Climb into a chopper and fight. Rockets, bombs, lasers, snowballs and mini-nukes at your fingertips. Cunning AI attacking from every angle. Eight aircraft to unlock. Completely free — no ads, no microtransactions, no catch. You start as a cold war chopper pilot caught in a proxy war between very different cities. Climb the levels, outsmart the AI and conquer Elite difficulty to unlock the Baron and the flying saucer. Along the way you'll fight in tanks, submarines, jet fighters, WW1 biplanes and aircraft carriers. There's a tutorial, autopilot, target practice, Cyberspace, an Xmas mode, and a sandbox where everything comes to life and you can drive and ride anything that moves. Featuring... * Rockets, bombs, snowballs, lasers, mini-nukes * Truly madly bloodthirsty AI * 8 unique aircraft * Sandbox with tanks, cars, boats, alien invasions & lots more * WiFi/Bluetooth multiplayer with teams & friends lists * Game Center leaderboards * Make & share your own game maps * Completely free: no ads, no microtransactions This game is a challenge, but once you're up to speed and deep into the high-octane madness it's the most exciting adrenaline rush on the App Store. While everyone else is staring at their phones in a vacant trance, this will have you punching the air and screaming out loud. Quick Tips: To see the last message during Tutorial, tap pause. To exit to menus from in the game, tap the door. To change controls (joystick/gyro) or graphics (for snowballs & lasers), go to options. More tips & help in the app and on the website.

This game has everything you need to entertain yourself for hours. Been playing for 4 years and will play for 4 more!" "If you haven't at least downloaded and tried this game, you are depriving yourself of The best hidden gem on the App Store." "Best 3D dogfighting game I've ever played on my iPad! Great for playing with a friend. Fun graphics. Cool noises. No charge. What's not to like? It also has a complexity that some similar games lack." "Complicated enough that you can spend hours on it, but quick enough that it can just as easily fill five minute gaps. Perfect." "This is so freaking fun! I can't believe it was free, it is good for people who like retro or modern style games. Seriously you HAVE to get it." __________________________________________ This game is completely free, with no ads. If you think the game is awesome, please support it by telling others about it!
