### 5/5 — Long Lost Game

*2023-07-29, version 1.1.6*

This is literally the game that I would relate to as my fav shirt buried in my closet, although you should make the controls inverted or smh it’s sometimes to easy when you play, Great game tho keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Diamond in the rough

*2023-05-24, version 1.1.6*

I love this game, the witty humor, the dogfighting. There is no pay to win, and it is just so freaking good. The game is complex, and far better than games made by those big companies like those poorly disguised ripoffs of match 3 games. There are no words to describe how good this game is, you simply must play it yourself. The loading screen is also quite funny, you all did an amazing job :)

### 5/5 — Player review

*2023-04-23, version 1.1.6*

A great game, one of, if not the best mobile game I’ve played. It takes a bit of learning but it is well worth it.

### 5/5 — Amazing but difficult

*2023-01-31, version 1.1.6*

It’s a very fun game and challenging too.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2023-01-15, version 1.1.6*

Love this game! great gameplay and story for a mobile game, would love to see a sequel or at least a levels pack!

### 5/5 — This takes me back…

*2022-11-09, version 1.1.5*

This reminds me of being a snotty teenager playing Jetstrike on the Amiga. Thankyou devs, you have made an old man very happy.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-11-03, version 1.1.5*

This game gud, no other explanation

### 5/5 — Good game

*2022-10-23, version 1.1.5*

Love it so entertaining

### 5/5 — Never made a review before lol

*2022-08-25, version 1.1.5*

I haven’t ever reviewed anything before, but this game is legit. It actually gives you a taste of what a true dogfight in the air is supposed to be like and challenges you at the same time. I don’t know why this game hasn’t blown up already. It’s one of a kind.

### 5/5 — No one plays this why?

*2022-08-02, version 1.1.5*

This game I thought would be one of those low player low quality games that fills the app store but surprisingly its quality and depth astounds me I would recommend to anyone looking to try a new game as it takes up very little space on your device :)

### 4/5 — If only ):

*2022-07-31, version 1.1.4*

Don’t get me wrong this is great but only one and one thing only is lacking that would bring this to a Seven star review the extra 2 bc A for effort and I like plains, but I think adding controller support would be cool cuz I would like it and I feel it would add to the elements of dogfighting with other ppls keep up the good work champion you are crafting gold, and ignor the haters (: yay <3

### 4/5 — A very entertaining game!

*2022-07-07, version 1.1.4*

I have been grinding to beat the final level. The controls are easy enough to get used to and the campaign is fun as well (though it can be repetitive at times). I know how hard it is to write levels with individual stories, but even though the campaign is good as it is, it could be longer. Another way to improve the game would be to add a greater variety of aircraft such as enemy bombers. Even though this rating may sound a tad negative, I must stress that the game is really fun!

### 5/5 — Passion

*2022-07-06, version 1.1.4*

I can tell this game was made with passion the dev doesn't lock flushed out parts of the game behind a pay wall they want to give you the best experience that they can for free. 

I love that the stuff in the store is stuff like unlimited planes stuff that you can go with out. 

The only thing I don’t like about this game is that it doesn’t have 10000 level or a Rogue like mode! 

 And To the devs keep making these games!!!!

### 4/5 — Good Game but Some Annoyances and Dissatisfying Ending

*2022-06-27, version 1.1.4*

This game is fun to play, but the button hit boxes can be annoyingly small and easy to miss, and the ending is somewhat dissatisfying.

### 5/5 — So difficult yet so good

*2022-06-26, version 1.1.4*

I know I prolly sound like a bot but I swear on god I ain’t . Okay so this game is one of th few that is so hard yet so fun. I’ve probably lost 6 pilots in 10 missions yet I’m still having fun

### 5/5 — Buzz

*2022-06-22, version 1.1.4*

I’ve been gaming since the early 80’s....this game is well worth the money: some levels are hard, but it’s not the ordinary’shoot stuff’ game. Thx!

### 5/5 — I’m back

*2022-06-10, version 1.1.4*

I learned how to change planes after I got your response for my earlier review 😬

### 5/5 — Very good game but…Is there a sequel coming?

*2022-06-05, version 1.1.4*

This game is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played, I have to admit the older versions were more challenging since I would accidentally do something on landing that would get my pilots killed by the overall gameplay was alright and pretty good at certain points. If there’s ever a part 2 or something to this game, the ability to switch out your spitfire for a P-40 should be a feature instead of something that only really happened in one mission (If I recall correct it has been a while since I’ve played). We should also get load out customization if possible, instead of just taking missiles (or rockets whatever they are called in game) we should have some sort of other payload we can carry and use against enemies.

### 5/5 — Fun, Additive, and sad

*2022-05-28, version 1.1.4*

This game should have 5 stars, it’s so simple yet so fun. The way you control the game is so easy compared to other games. It’s so sad when your wingman dies in combat.

### 1/5 — Dumbest game ever.

*2022-04-17, version 1.1.4*

Who’d you get to write these reviews your Mom?

### 1/5 — Purchase didn’t work, contacted dev weeks ago & still no response

*2021-06-24, version 1.0.3*

I purchased infinite bullets and the billing went through fine. However, I never received them and tried everything I could. ‘Restore purchases’ nope, hard reset of my device - nope, so I emailed the dev well over 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard one word back. The game isn’t bad but when I pay for something, I expect to receive it. I waited patiently to write this review, hoping the dev would eventually contact me, but that never happened. Spend money at your own peril…

### 1/5 — Boring

*2021-05-04, version 1.0.3*

So boring i didnt even complete the training level

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on my IPhone 7 Plus

*2021-10-27, version 1.0.3*

Whenever I open the app it crashes straight away. I uninstalled and installed again few times and nothing changed. Restarted my phone and doesn’t work either

### 2/5 — Guns?

*2021-09-19, version 1.0.3*

I don’t seem to have any guns or missiles. What am I doing wrong please?

### 3/5 — Level 4 broke

*2023-10-04, version 1.1.6*

As you can tell from the title, level 4 seems to be broken, as you cannot take off after you’ve landed

### 3/5 — Pls fix

*2022-03-13, version 1.1.2*

Good game but the amount of times my most high ranked fighters died by turning around when I didn’t move the stick too turn was too much

### 3/5 — Great Gameplay, But Needs Better Controls

*2021-03-11, version 1.0.3*

The gameplay is amazing, but the controls often can glitch out or be overly sensitive. Could use an option to customize controls or patch for glitches.

### 3/5 — Wonky controls

*2021-02-16, version 1.0.3*

I genuinely enjoy the game but 90% of the pilots I’ve lost is from landing, you double tap the left side to barrel roll and when I try to descend I end up barrel rolling into the landing strip

### 3/5 — Ending

*2021-01-22, version 1.0.3*

I finished the game, it’s a good game but, I was replaying the missions and I had crashed with my best pilot with over 65 confirmed kills on aircraft after I had finished the game and it ensured me that I wouldn’t lose any pilots nor planes, but I still lost my best pilot. Please fix.

### 5/5 — This is one of the best games I have ever played.

*2026-02-02, version 1.1.7*

So I found this game at a house warming party and I thought it was cool because there is no such game I’ve played or heard of that is a 2D, WWII, phone-tilting, dogfighter game. This game in my opinion, is one of the best out there, it is simple and recognizable. the game has a cool art style, low storage space, easy but challenging levels and mechanics, and not to mention, the title screen. See, the thing about this game is that it has actual recruits that you play as and when you die, the game holds a sort of memorial for the ones who died fighting, which is what the title screen does. It shows them flying in heaven, which is so creative and it gives the game so much Life to it. This game is just so memorable and I hope so many people find this game.

### 5/5 — it feels good

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.7*

but i deleted it because when you lose a poilt die forever

### 5/5 — Amazing but I have an idea.

*2025-03-08, version 1.1.7*

This game is so much fun, but can you make a game like this, but you are a bomber plane?

### 5/5 — Cool

*2024-07-02, version 1.1.7*

What the title says.

### 5/5 — This is a great game!

*2024-04-23, version 1.1.7*

But I have one question. Will this ever be continued? Like will there be a prequel? Like with different nations? In theory will there be stuff like bomber escort and close air support?

### 5/5 — Updates?

*2024-03-24, version 1.1.7*

I really like the game, story was good and felt like I actually was controlling a real squadron. I would love to see game modes where there’s infinite rounds of dogfighting. Everytime you win a round your plane is filled back with ammo and health and fuel. Or even AI generated missions. Like having to destroy boats and planes at the same time. Or even protecting a bomber formation high in the sky from enemy planes. Would be pretty cool to see.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-02-20, version 1.1.7*

Played this game multiple times through, honestly it might be the best mobile game I have every played, if this dev were to release a game like this on steam I promise I would buy it, and it would definitely be a smash hit. 10/10

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-11-05, version 1.1.7*

I only get to play the tutorial i really dont know how to turn the plane into the opposite direction in the tutorial how to even do that i have been stuck for hour’s trying

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-09-11, version 1.1.6*

This is absolutely amazing while many others are like this this one is free immersive not pay to win. Highly recommend this for people who are into World War flight games.

### 5/5 — This game never lets me down

*2023-08-22, version 1.1.6*

best game ever
