The Last F(l)ight Home Lite

Features
Read full description

The Last F(l)ight Home puts you in the cockpit of a lone fighter with a very long way still to go. You fly right, the world scrolls past, and none of it wants to let you through: canyon walls closing in, gun turrets dug into the rock, crawlers working along the floor and the ceiling, and squadrons coming at you out of the distance. Ten hand-built levels, getting quicker as you go, each one ending at a boss built out of parts that have to be taken apart before the body will go down. Shoot the right things and you fly on stronger: rapid fire, a double and a triple shot, a rear gun, a laser, a shield, a spare ship. Past the last level the run keeps going โ€” it ends when your last ship does, not when the maps run out. Features: - Ten hand-built levels, each with a boss at the end - Power-ups that change the way the ship fights - Three settings, Easy to Hard, each keeping its own best score - Game Center leaderboards, one for every setting - One-finger control: you steer, the guns fire themselves - Plays on phone and tablet Pull the trigger and see how far home you get. This is the free version, and it is supported by ads. The full version plays without them, adds a level editor for drawing your own levels and sending them to anyone, and brings the game to the big screen and to your wrist as well.
