But pretty good *2026-08-05* App was super slow, didn’t keep up with finger movements. Design and layout was ok though ### 3/5 — Pacific wings *2019-06-16* Hi guys I want to give your game a five star rating . Except on my iPhone when I play. my finger covers the plane. I wish that I could put my finger slightly behind the plane when controlling it. The way it is now you cover the plane your trying to fly you can’t see your own plane . Well barely . It would be much more enjoyable to play if I could see plane slightly above my finger. That’s my only complaint about this game. I was a big fan of 1942, the arcade game that this game is like. Please correct this issue. I’m sure I would play it more. And others as well. Great game otherwise. Thanks you. 3 STAR ### 4/5 — Good game *2018-10-26* Solid game that plays a lot like the old Nintendo games 1942 & 1943. ### 4/5 — Classic *2018-06-11, version 2.0.1* Classic game, takes me back a few decades ### 4/5 — Fun Throwback Game *2018-05-22* Reminds me if the arcade game. Was fun then still fun now. Having to move using your finger sometimes blocks enemy shots, otherwise it’s s glitch free experience. ### 1/5 — Ambivalent *2018-02-09, version 2.0.1* Nice old classic. Ads before a level? Yeah fair enough. Ads after a level? Yeah fair enough. Ads in the middle of a level where it locks the aircraft's position & you are destroyed? Game deleted. ### 1/5 — I paid the 1:99 to have the ads removed and they still showed ads after every time I died!!! *2017-12-12* Boooo!!! ### 4/5 — Classic Game *2017-10-23* Game is nice to play and kill some time. Wish it had a save option. Not being able to save is horrible. ### 2/5 — LuttNutt's opinion *2017-08-20, version 2.0.1* I went into this game thinking it was a mobile version of 1943, but the patterns of the enemy's weren't even close to the actual game, and the menu could use a fixer upper. I did however love the updated graphics! ### 4/5 — Not as good as the arcade version *2017-06-10, version 1.9.2* Not as good as the arcade version and annoying because I have fat stubby fingers. Still play it though because it's better than Angry Birds and Pokemon. ### 1/5 — Paid for no ads. Didnt get it. *2017-05-28, version 1.9.2* Ripoff. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2017-01-27, version 1.9.2* No depth to the game. Harasses you with ads and videos to watch. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2016-11-19, version 1.9.2* I paid for full version but it's all full of ads. I complained to owner and he did nothing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why is it keep kicking me? *2021-02-15* When I join the game it just kicks me form the game can you fix that? ### 1/5 — Fun app *2021-01-20, version 3.0.3* Now it wont open?? ### 1/5 — Bad Capcom Clone *2020-08-10* This is a bad clone of the classic 1942 arcade game. The controls aren’t very responsive and many times the enemies or power ups will drift off screen. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-05-12* 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼Deleted after 1 minute of downloading. Was getting an add every 10 seconds. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-04-06, version 2.0.1* Enemy planes fly in from behind you , As you are controlling with your hand you just don’t see them so die b4 u have a chance to progress ### 1/5 — Uncontrollable *2019-02-24, version 2.0.1* I thought it was bad how your fingers cover up the screen so you can’t see your plane but the latest update seems to “glitch”, I hope it is. So when I move the plane to the right it suddenly ducks off to the left just into the path off a missile. This of course kills you but you can keep your extra cannons if you “watch a short video “. I wouldn’t do the update , but this just means another game deleted. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2018-12-01, version 2.0.1* Good game but halfway through the game you are taken to another game to watch and can’t stop it. Iv deleted this game because of this. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2018-11-18, version 2.0.1* I purchased the game to stop getting ads. Now I get a full screen gambling thing come up and lose the the power-ups I had! I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-06-17* It’s pure trash... so slow, horrible graphics and game controls... don’t waste your time on this game. ### 1/5 — Advertisement scam *2018-03-24, version 2.0.1* I paid to get rid of the ads and long video ads are still constantly popping up. Makes it unplayable and a scam! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Classic, but needs to be updated *2023-09-11* Vintage/retro classic that needs to be updated, with all the iOS updates, to make it more smooth/fast, full screen etc. ### 5/5 — Feeding the arcade *2023-01-04* Now I just remembered how much I spent at the dam arcade on this game ### 5/5 — What’s ta say that betters Extremely Excellent!!! *2018-11-21, version 2.0.1* Since Day One, I have never had a single problem. I have played hundreds of these games and this one pulls it in. Con-Grads ### 5/5 — Nice little game! *2018-02-16* Even though it’s a pretty simple game, it’s very engaging in the later levels. It’s tough but fair, you’ll get better the more you play. I finally beat the game today, it was an excellent diversion during my bathroom breaks the past year :) ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2017-07-27* This is a really great game. It's so addicting, really fun, and really historically accurate. Not to mention that it's free. Fantastic overall game. Great job guys! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable and cool new features! *2017-07-20* I've had and played this game for a long time now. Since they upgraded it with new weapons and the ability to restart without losses after watching a video, it's even more fun. ### 5/5 — Pacific wings *2017-07-04, version 1.9.2* Very fun ### 5/5 — Oldie but a goodie! *2016-10-26, version 1.9.2* Retro fun! ### 5/5 — Génial !!!! *2016-08-02, version 1.9* J'ai jouer à ce jeux en étant jeune et maintenant, j'y joue encore !!! GÉNIAL !!! ### 5/5 — Good *2016-07-21, version 1.9* I've been having fun playing this. Simple, but hard. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
