  • Pay to play

    I’ve played this game on and off, and recently again for a YouTube review. I enjoyed playing up until level 30. I had purchased (with gems) the fourth plane in the line up, and sadly the grind to continue upgrading it is getting too extreme.

    The levels past level 30 are getting un-beatable, as my ship is still too weak at 4 stars of damage. The upgrades for gold isn’t much of an issue, but it gets ridiculous paying 800 gems to continue. Since I’m now at stages that I can’t beat (one shot kills me instantly, and it takes ages to kill bosses or higher level mobs) I can’t get enough gold/gems to continue. You basically get forced to watch ads praying you’ll get enough gems to continue. I can tell that even with the Sabre plane fully upgraded, I’ll still hit a dead end and not be able to continue.

    This game offers a TON of free content, and is quite fun and fair in the early game. The best way I see to get gems, is pay 5000 gold to spin the wheel and pray. As gold is worthless while you farm 750 more gems to upgrade. Otherwise, paying would be the only option, and this game heavily wants you to pay up.

    Overall, if you’re going to start playing this game, and not pay any money, keep in mind you will not be able to beat it unless you loose your life to playing it.

  • Great update

    Less bugs and less laggy update new skill set added and improved gameplay mechanics for iPhones
  • Fun

    Fun game brings back old
    Memories of arcade’s days
  • Would be fun without all the glitches

    So glitchy after level 30(ish) that I’m ready to stop playing. I’m only on lvl 40 now, but the game glitches more frequently the higher you get...and lvl 40 isn’t very high! Not spending another cent until glitches are fixed.
  • The BEST game

    This is the best game ever!!
  • ……

    Um 😐
    What happened to pvp one day it just stopped. Used to be so much more enjoyable because you got to play real time pvp with people now you have to play offline and that is it.

    Good game I guess apart from that
  • Amazing

    Its probably the best mobile game and i love it and the hard boss fights are the best
  • Great retro game! Challenging and fun!

    I used to love playing games like this in the arcade back in the day. This takes me back. Great retro game. I just finished level 50 (iPhone 11). Never spent 1 dime. (Have to be patient - some days just get the rewards - maybe only play boss or infinite to get resources.) Was not bombarded with adds (couple offers will pop up each day you play). Don’t know how many hours I played (many many hours), but never had 1 glitch or crash. Solid app and very challenging. Maxed out the F-100 Super Saber. Awesome fighter! This game was a TON of FUN. Nice job and thank you! I will look into your other games.

  • Game is a rip with click-bait ads scam

    Game baits you into watching ads to earn “mystery” wrenches for better planes and wingmans, but half the time you don’t even get any. The idea of “mystery” wrenches is like a circus scam, because half of the time it’s a “mystery” where the wrenches go, after watching 30 ads to think you’re going to earn some. It’s so disheartening to waste all that time watching 30 ads and not get any wrenches to get closer to a plane / wingman upgrade. GARBAGE!!!

  • Compulsory videos and no ad buyout

    Cool game but a shame you can’t pay to remove ads - also progression is expensive after about level 24 (on time to build your plane up strong enough, or big $$ to buy gems)
    Just give us a reasonably priced paid game option and do away with the complicated gem/coin/module/.. marketplace model.
