Levels plz!!!!'nnnnn
Rubbish
It's really hard and keeps crashing waste of money in fact I think I should get a refund. I wouldn't give it one star if it was possible!
Crashes..
I would love to rate 5 but can't lags and crashes and shuts off not even five mins into the game fix it! I'll rate 5
More Levels!
Awesome game but you run out of levels way too quickly. 5 stars if more levels were there.
Graphics are disappointing...
The game gets repetitive. Of this genre I prefer AirAttack HD.
A Bunch of Greedy Fokkers
It's not surprising that so many of the other reviews focus on the micro transactions in this game, as other than that, there is really not much to write home about.
The screen scrolls, you hold your finger down to shoot and move your aeroplane slowly right to left. Very little interaction is actually required to complete most levels.
One of the two planes you can fly is small and quick, underpowered and weak. It may be a Spitfire, I'm not sure. The other plane, which I think is supposed to be a Mosquito, is hardy and powerful but slow. In my experience, given there are numerous times where you fly through a wall - quite literally - of enemy fire and planes, and manoeuvrability is completely irrelevant - you want to stick with the Mosquito.
A few upgrades and this famously quick and wooden aircraft can lumber about the screen soaking up endless bullets. Historical accuracy is hardly a prerequisite for a scrolling shooter which features jet aircraft in the Battle of Britain, "ghost" planes and giant flying panzer tanks, but taking a plane like the Mosquito and making it sort of aerial Tiger tank struck me as lazy, wilful inaccuracy.
The game basically completes itself at this point, anyway, other than the various boss battles which end each of the three themed sections. These boss battles are as annoying, unempowering and dull as every other boss fight in the history of games. They also constitute a severe jump in difficulty. A special shout out goes to the last one which is particularly unfair.
Now to the contentious bit. In order to progress through the game you must earn Crosses from downed enemy planes. This in-game currency is spent on upgrades for your aeroplane as well as unlocking further levels and the Mosquito. In order to earn sufficient Crosses for the later upgrades, you will either have to grind through the lower levels repeatedly or buy Crosses in packs through the Store.
I expect the game is beatable without purchasing Crosses if you have the time and inclination to churn through the lower levels over and over again but this entire approach to game design, particularly for such a shallow, retro shooter smacks of pure cynicism, a way for the developers to make more money from their product and artificially extend the games woefully short lifespan. The spikes in difficulty come across as especially deliberate as they effectively bait you into throwing more money at this slight, underwhelming experience in the hope that you might wring a few more minutes of fun out of it.
I'm not a connoisseur of IPhone retro shooters but I am sure there are hundreds out there which are longer, more interesting and more entertaining. Spend your money there.

Good but needs more levels
The game is good. Just found that it didn't take long, a few more levels would make it much better. Also if there was a tally at the end of each level saying how many planes are shot down and how many were missed would b awesome. The last boss I'm pretty is impossible to pass.
Pay to play trash
Your plane starts off beyond worthless and upgrades cost a ridiculous amount. Try and suffer through it and then grind when you are allowed to for a game that really not balanced right at all. Unless you cough up some cash or make this your second unhappy job this "game" won't play right. Avoid this.
