### 5/5 — Sehr cooles und herausforderndes Game!

*2022-05-28*

Wer ein kurzweiliges, herausforderndes Spiel mit coolem Soundtrack und charmantem Design sucht, sollte es unbedingt mal ausprobieren!
Es ist wirklich challenging, macht dann aber umso mehr Spaß, sobald man die nötigen Skills erlangt hat und die super dynamische Steuerung beherrscht. 
Einfach ein Muss für jeden Retro-Game-Fan, der vor einer Herausforderung nicht zurückschreckt! 

Als eines meiner meist gespielten Mobile Games kann ich es daher absolut empfehlen! :-)

### 5/5 — Spaß pur mit Retro-Flair

*2021-04-19*

Flight to the Rescue hat mich echt überrascht. Hinter dem, auf dem ersten Blick, simplen Spielprinzip und minimalistischen Artstyle, steckt ein charmantes und gut durchdachtes Game, was an die goldenen 8- und 16-Bit Zeiten erinnert. 

Das merkt man vor allem am sehr gelungenen und fluiden Gameplay (wohlgemerkt für ein Handygame) und am fordernden Schwierigkeitsgrad mit steiler Lernkurve.

Ganz im Geiste der Retroperlen der 80er und 90er - sobald man die Steuerung verinnerlicht hat, macht es einfach unwahrscheinlich viel Spaß.

Absolut empfehlenswert!
