The app is a simple simulation of the Spitfire fighter from World War II. You battle against an invasion of BF-109s. You control the plane by tilting your phone like a joystick and shoot by tapping the crosshair. You can also move the joystick with your finger. Your aircraft is equipped with a powerful cannon. The sky is slightly hazy. Can you feel it? The planes fly at high speeds of around 400 mph each. If you miss each other, you likely won’t get another chance. Good luck!
