Fun game, when you can get it to start.

This is an old app that is fun to play. For some reason I am unable to start the game - it continuously shows the opening animation and only occasionally starts to play the game.

Crap

I downloaded and the game wouldnโ€™t start.

Fun little shooter

This is a fun five minute game. One thing is lacking: high scores!

Average

This is somewhat amusing, I am a WWII fan and I think it's cool demolishing zero fighter bomber planes, it's kind of hard though, the most Japanese bomber planes I've destroyed yet are 35.
