Return of one of the great retro arcade shooting games. Enjoy free space war games that were produced by a master of shooting games and that were easy to see in arcade centers as combat aircraft games that were used to attack while avoiding bullets. [How to play] Touch and move the monitor with your finger to move the fighter plane, and the bullet is fired automatically. [Features] - The power of the weapon increases when Power items are collected. - The small fighters are created and attacked together when a fighter is powered up. - You can start the game with full power from the start with "FULL POWER START" option. - You can change weapons to Thunder laser with beams, power shots and laser-shooting. - The Thunder laser is an induction laser that attacks the enemy's position. - Choose from four levels of difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard and Very hard. - Use of bombs in times of crisis protects against enemy attacks. - The bomb button can be changed to the left or right, taking into account the user's button position. - Supported achievements and leaderboard. - Supported 16 languages. © TOAPLAN Co., Ltd. © TATSUJIN Co., Ltd.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TRUXTON classic at 4.6 against The Flight Test's 4.0. TRUXTON classic also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 50%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). The Flight Test's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
