## What is AirEscape Arcade Shooter?

AirEscape is a vertically scrolling arcade shooter built for one thumb. Drag anywhere to fly and your guns fire on their own, so all you have to think about is where to be.

TEN WORLDS, FIFTY MISSIONS
Fight across ten themed campaigns painted from above in crisp aerial detail: Ocean Assault, Arctic Storm, Jungle Warfare, Desert Strike, Volcanic Fury, City Siege, Canyon Run, Night Ops, Alien World and the Final Assault on an enemy space station. Every campaign returns four more times at higher tiers, each harder than the last, for fifty missions in total.

A BOSS AT THE END OF EVERY LEVEL
Aircraft carriers, ice fortresses, jungle citadels, volcanic reactors and an alien mothership. Every tenth mission ends with a big boss: bigger, tougher and firing far more.

DEFEND THE GROUND, RESCUE THE STRANDED
Gun emplacements sit on real bunkers, breakwaters and rooftops in the terrain. Stranded pilots drift on open water waiting for a pickup. Rescue them all, destroy every enemy and finish without a scratch to earn all three medals on a level.

BUILD YOUR JET IN THE HANGAR
Spend the stars you collect on your main gun, homing missiles, a laser, a shield, a star magnet and mega bombs that clear the screen when things get desperate.

MADE FOR THE PHONE IN YOUR HAND
• One-finger relative controls: drag anywhere, the plane follows
• Game controller support with the left stick or d-pad
• A fixed 60 Hz simulation with a smooth camera, on iPhone and iPad
• No account, no ads, no in-app purchases: a complete arcade game

Take off, hold the line, and bring everyone home.
