Community Insight:
Its a really good game one of our favorite games to play off-line its a great no Wi-Fi games we just wish every time you shoot down a plane it gives you more time. We gotta say its really really really good game.
Coo but can you do a 1 min version please.
Best game ever we have ever played.
We gotta say this is epic but instead why dont you make it into a survival game like some planes are gonna shoot behind you that would be better then the 30 second thing please do this and we will like this game.
We play this every hour we can . And every time we fail we try and beat that score so addicting and fun please read.
We love this game but the thing that bothers us the most the time limit why just why. Why not make it into 5 minutes and per every kill you get it will be +30 more seconds.
This game is amazing but two slight problems, one add more aircraft like the p51 and the p 47, and two on our phone when the time runs out it just kicks us out of the game.
First of all the 30 seconds isnt enough time since having to tilt the phone makes it hard to aim and when we play and the time runs out we get booted out of the game and our data doesnt even save this game needs major fixing but we have a feeling the developers just made it and then walked away since it still seems to be problematic.
We love this game. Wana pass some time? This is the way to do it.
New update solves problems for us! Wish app title wasn't cut off… AmericanH.
It's a good challenge and lots of fun trying to buy aircraft only bad thing is that the planes are somewhat hard to shoot down anyway try it.
Very fun game, but There is no possibility for expanding in this game. Needs a point or "money" system that allows you to purchase things like weapon and plane upgrades that allow you to get further in the game. The game allows the in app purchase of new planes that are upgraded, but we will not spend money on a silly little game. Played for about 20 minutes, and now it's played out – DELETE. To the developers: we are representative of the majority of "iDevice" game players. Give some type of reward for shooting down planes and finishing waves (keep the plane reward the same, but give a bigger bonus for each wave finished) and allow those rewards to be spent on upgrades. You will hold people's attention for SO much longer than this game in its current iteration. We hate to see such a well made game interface so poorly executed. You're on the right track. Keep improving. Incorporate possibilities for upgrading your plane and getting further in the game and you'll have a winner. As is, it's "meh" at best.
Terrible app. Deleted it after one day.
Easy to play. Hard to keep time on the clock. Upgrades helping.
The game is gr8 the only thing that we can suggests is that the upgrade to another plane they should state the price that would be great.
A lot of fun. Easy to play. Fun to shoot down the enemy.
Need more planes or more enemies to earn planes faster.
We give it ten out of 5 stars It brings out our inner ww2 ace.
Awesome game definitely recommend.
Great fun; would like to see more aircraft types, longer times of play as a reward, and more destructive weapons available, even for limited periods, as reward upgrades. Beautiful graphics and a wonderful short break. Excellent concept.
Love the games and am looking forward to more coming out soon.
Crazy awesome game! 112 kills in one round.
This is the best ww2 ever it has a p-40 and f-4u corsair and a f4f.
Great game accurate markings on airplanes good graphics but needs credit for damage airplanes.
Fun! They should also have a fly able bomber like the SBD Dauntless.
Cool game! Once you start playing, it's hard to stop! It is pretty realistic and has real WW2 planes.
Download it now, you WON'T be sorry.
This is fun and addicting. Being a history buff we appreciate the accuracy of the aircraft types & their markings. The WW1 version is a blast too. Next, jets with missiles & Vulcan cannons.
Would be nice if you could earn planes quicker.
PLEASE SYNC WITH THE OTHER VERSIONS AWESOME GAME GOOD JOB.
Great game, but needs more planes to pick from.
This, and the other "all you can kill" airplane games are extremely fun to play, but the app crashes often. Please fix and you get five stars.
Fun game reminds us of all the games from the eighties, except better graphics and sound. We just wish they had other aircraft and German Luftwaffe targets.
Rockets would be a nice addition.
This simple game is easy to learn and doesn't require a lot of thought. Just line up the planes and pull the trigger.
Totally Awesome!! Waiting for modern day jet planes.
This and the other similar apps by the same developer are quite fun. It's nice that they are quick to play except you end up just playing it over and over.
Awesome game!! Earning new planes faster would be great.
This is a fun game but we do have an issue. We did the upgrade and then after the upgrade the game throws us out of the app after every round. Now how rude is that? But we do give it 4 stars for we really do enjoy this app. Now fix it.
Fun, faster level unlocks would be good.
It's not a bad game, till u realize all the planes r faster than you, climb and dive faster than you. Then there's the stupid little ad bar at the bottom that the targets are hiding behind so you can't see them. Or you can "buy" the ad block, kinda shady for a "free" game".
Very greedy creators! Gotta pay to buy new planes but that wouldn't be a problem if that purchase deleted the ads all over the play screen. They want another 1.99 to get rid of the ads. Greedy.
This game is so simple yet so wildly entertaining! Great sound effects and we love all the different WWII aircraft. You won't be able to put it down.
We love this game we think there should be an infinite time mode but you don't get points for it (so no one can cheat) its truly a great game we also think you should make 30 seconds in the battle of Britain :).
This is by far one of the best games we have ever played. It is addicting and so fun we play till we get cramps in our fingers and have to put ice on them. Keep this game runnin and the updates comin.
Great and challenging game, love it.
Simple, addictive, with good sound effects.
Great way to spend half time of a football game.
Good game.Needs some bug fixes,and takes to long to upgrade to better plane.
Wish it would let us purchase the ad free version.
