About

TIME SQUADRON

Features
Read full description

Take flight through time in TIME SQUADRON — a fast, relentless arcade shooter inspired by the golden age of coin-operated games. Pilot a lone fighter across a full 360-degree battlefield as enemy squadrons attack from every direction. Keep moving, keep firing and survive long enough to face the enormous war machine waiting at the end of each era. No complicated tutorials. No slow build-up. Just immediate arcade action, responsive controls and the constant temptation to chase one more high score. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Choose the visual style that matches your favourite era of gaming: CLASSIC 2D Hand-crafted sprites, smooth scrolling and the pure overhead spin-and-shoot gameplay of an authentic 1980s arcade cabinet. MODE 7 Experience the same battles across a rolling pseudo-3D horizon, inspired by the spectacular scaling and rotation effects of the 16-bit generation. Both modes use the same carefully tuned game system, but each has its own dedicated Game Center leaderboard. BATTLE ACROSS SIX ERAS Travel through more than a century of aerial warfare: 1912 — Dawn of Flight Fight fragile biplanes and bring down a gigantic war zeppelin. 1942 — Total War Battle fighter formations protecting a heavily armoured bomber. 1972 — Rolling Thunder Face aggressive combat helicopters hunting above the jungle. 1984 — Afterburner Survive high-speed attacks from powerful supersonic jets. 2003 — First Contact Defend the skies against fast and unpredictable UFO squadrons. 2028 — The Last Stand Confront a colossal multi-stage war machine in the ultimate battle. Every era introduces different enemies, attacks, weather conditions and a unique boss encounter. THIS IS NOT THE END Defeating the final boss is only the beginning. The timeline resets into a more dangerous reality, with stronger enemies and increasingly difficult battles. Fight through five escalating realities to uncover the complete story and discover what is really happening to the timeline. Only the best pilots will survive every loop. FEATURES • Immediate arcade shooting action • Full 360-degree aerial combat • Classic 2D and pseudo-3D Mode 7 gameplay • Six historical and futuristic eras • Huge multi-stage boss battles • Five increasingly difficult realities • Parachute rescues and bonus rewards • Guided missiles and special weapons • Dynamic weather and time-warp effects • Separate Game Center leaderboards for both modes • Synthwave music and crunchy retro sound effects • Smooth gameplay designed for iPhone • Created with a genuine love for classic arcade shooters • Can you become the top player on the leaderboards!!? Whether you grew up surrounded by arcade cabinets or are discovering this style of game for the first time, TIME SQUADRON delivers pure score-chasing action without the filler. The timeline is collapsing. Your guns never stop. How far can you fly?
