### 1/5 — Paid for ad free but got it anyway!

*2024-12-28*

A no brainer game and  a good time waster. But paid for advt free version. Nil support as to why. Now I have to ‘suffer’ through them. Thanks guys for nothing. Now the game crashes after some serious grinding. Just don’t.

### 4/5 — Sleepyslayer

*2024-05-29*

This game will definitely keep you working your thumbs. Graphics are pretty good. Sound track needs better sounds or ability to play own music. There’s no instructions on how to get all the awards. How does one get better weapons? I’m maxed out on all weapons but awards section says I haven’t. Where do I find instructions.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-01-15*

The game has great graphics, the endless mode can get a bit overwhelming with the number of aircraft but the campaign mode is great. Would highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Paid for ad free but got it anyway!

*2023-08-16*

A no brainer game and  a great time waster. But paid for advt free version. Nil support as to why. Now I have to ‘suffer’ through them. Thanks guys for nothing.

### 4/5 — Restore

*2023-02-08, version 1.8.0*

Why is there no restore or save option in this game. All my progress is just lost if I delete it then redownload it. That’s really messed up. Y’all can add that in there and make this game that much greater. Other than that the game is great.

### 5/5 — It really fun!

*2022-05-04, version 1.8.0*

If you don’t download the app it’s fine I can support it but I would recommend to download this game because it fun and you can play it offline

### 2/5 — It looked cool

*2021-05-22, version 1.8.0*

I thought that it was one of those cool immersive games with good graphics. I play a lot of game loft games and EA games and when I saw the stars I expected something like that. It turns out to be a arcade game we’re you shoot at planes until they explode while they fly in unnatural ways. 😕☹️😟😢😭

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Game

*2021-05-08, version 1.8.0*

Great fun. Keeps me entertained for a long time. Encountered the problem with the game failing to load, however I kept playing in Endless mode and accumulated a lot of points then after about a week was able to get back into the main game portion.

### 5/5 — Flieger

*2021-02-15*

Love it, blast em out of the sky!

### 4/5 — Not to shabby but just one thing

*2021-02-15, version 1.8.0*

Different color markers are needed for planes in field of view not only in the mini map. Planes flying by & planes flying towards you are indistinguishable and make it super hard to see a threat.
