Community Insight:
We were wondering if you can raise the amount of money earned in mission because it will take a really long time to get a tier 2 airship (we bought tier 2 and might buy the rest) it will take hundreds of mission to get at least a million dollars pls increase it.
Great game man. Awesome graphics and gameplay. It goes in depth with the skills and power ups. An endless survival mode will be awesome to see just an endless wave of enemies and airships. We understand you need to make a living but we would at least have a couple of the weapons and ships from each tier unlocked already instead of having to buy all them in order to even be able to buy them in game. Other than that its fantastic keep it up man.
Maybe add a free $100,000 by watching a add every hour and it would be great overall good game.
So as we were saying its like an free version of bomber crew (an Xbox game) we hope that you make cheaper (please) Just wanna say please keep working on It we have night hopes for this game :D Great game even got our brother to play we told a friend to lol idk if he plays anymore.
Pls add PvP! It can be fun and you get money for it. Think. More people might play the game! Its also the best game.
Dear Dev, if you are reading this we hope you still support this great game. The game settings is up the way up in our alley. We know that you live by IAP, so why dont you add the option for the x5 income in the IAP. We know this is not a fix for the economy, but it a reasonable compromise for you and the users. Wish the best luck for you and your next project.
Great app. Dieselpunk zeppelins and WWII-inspired aircraft are exactly our kind of thing, so we had no problem sinking 25$ into the game for all the unlocks. Some UI customization would be appreciated though, the controls sticks are too close to the far corners of the screen to be used comfortably – the ability to move them or a floating joystick option would be great.
We really love this game it helped us past some time but we have question how do you unlock new plains.
First off, this is a great game and we really enjoyed it. However, at least for t1 items, maybe make it free and incorporate ads for $500 or something like that.
This game is freakin awesome but there are some things to make it better first you need to make terrain better like put hill you have to dodge. Then you need to make ships actually sink and not explode and zeppelins crash and burn and leave the scrap behind and also allied ai zeppelins should spawn planes also make the game have two free planes also an endless enemy mode where endless enemy to fight. You also need aircraft carriers which deploy planes whichever side there on. Also when the soldiers when they are on the ground it starts a fight cuz there would be troop trucks too so it would be better thank you for the awesome game and hope for you to add some of this.
We love this game but we cant figure out how to unlock other air planes and mother ships.
We love this game to death and its extremely addicting for us but the thing that we think could be added to the game in the future (because we understand you have to make a living off of IAP) is making maybe just tier one stuff free but you have to grind a decent amount to unlock it besides that this game is great and we hope to see it grow more :).
Great game and thanks for fixing all the bugs over the past year. Plays super smooth now. Can you increase the hard points on the airships and or offer unlimited hard points so we can fully stock the airships with all the guns we can buy. Let us land the planes – That was one of the most rewarding features of Wings of Valor. Let us land on an island, a runway on top of an airship or on a aircraft carrier… Whatever you can add that will provide that original feel.
We started playing the game on release but things started to slow down. We wasnt able to progress because we didnt get the t1. We know it cannot be lowered or removed until the game gets popular but… By removing the t1 more people will play because they can progress. Constant updates will help too. Maybe a task to get a certain ship instead of paying. We complete understand if this is a bit much to ask for the but the foundation of the game is great and we think it can built up into a very popular game. Just an Idea. Thank You.
We have everything at 1 star, except we cant get any other T1 items unless we play. We get thats to fund the creator and everything but itd make the game a lot better if there was a way to get more T1 + stuff without paying .99c thats just us though. Other than that, the game is amazing.
The problem is that we cant seem to progress and unlock T1 items by playing, we have an idea to fix this however, everyone needs money to survive so our idea is to make it so you unlock a T1 item one by one every couple of missions or you could unlock All T1 items on one go with an IAP, thanks for reading.
Great game, the 2 issues are the paywall and that its a bit of a grind.
Everything about this game speaks to us, the simple controls, the setting is 10/10 in our opinion, if you wanted to do a sequel you should totally have it set in space ;) our only complaint is the price of unlocking the full game, though Ive read the other reviews and we kind of understand your reasoning. But this is definitely a game we will continue to play.
We think its a great and fun game to play but its hard to progress a lot without paying real money we hope it get popular enough so you change it to use the game money.
We love the game we just wish that you could make the controls as big or as small as you want if you do that this game would be awesome.
We like this game but Ive been grinding for days trying to get just 1! New plane not even an airship. The plane we want is a $400,000 bomber but it just takes so long to get that money and whats even worse is that a new airship would cost $1,000,000! And maybe the developer should just make a full version of the game with all the tiers unlocked for like $7 we dont know.
Jae Yong Kim makes some great games. We still wish he would update his AMAZING Wings of Valor game from several years ago to be able to operate on the current iOS. We wish we had never updated our phone! But this game has a lot of the same fun playability. Keep up the good work! Addition: Merry Christmas Jae Yong Kim! We were wondering if you ever considered updating your other game, Wings of Valor to be compatible with the new iOS. We dont know how much work is involved in doing something like that, but we know that ourselves and many other people would be very happy. Man we miss playing that game so much. In the meantime, Im enjoying this game very much. Happy new year.
We play a lot 2d games with Jets and other stuff by this one is really cool and you even regenerate a jet when is down and we like the game very much.
We can not get past the tutorial for instance it keeps telling us about the double tap and when we try that it keeps directing our mothership they way where we are trying the turbo it is frustrating. Okay we bought tier one stuff it is a scam do not get it we mean we bought it next time we come into. The app our purchase is gone we mean gone if the decision where in our hands we would get rid of this app until it where fixed.
Very fun game! Lots of planes, airships, weapons, and upgrades to choose from. Earning enough cash to buy new stuff can take some time, but it's not hard. Artwork is beautiful. Developer is polite and responsive to feedback. To dev: You have made a very good game that is lots of fun! We have one request: Please keep adding to this game! It would be fun to buy camouflage planes and airships too.
We forgot to ask a few questions in our previous review, they are all small questions, but we just cant seem to figure out how to unlock T1 items. As you know, in order to unlock other planes and motherships, you must first unlock T1 items. We just cant figure out if theres a way to unlock T1 items without paying the $2 fee. Also, Id like to ask if you would consider adding a multiplayer mode in the game, so that players will be able to battle each others motherships. It would make for better advertising, as more gamers are interested in multiplayer games. Thats all, and again, great job, Im loving your game.
With its simple but pleasing visuals and unique gameplay, this game stands out from the many games available. The core gameplay loop is completing missions to upgrading your fighter and airship, to then complete harder, higher paying missions. It has multiple types of weapons and a plethora of skills to invest in allowing for multiple types of play styles. The main problem is with the pricing. Unlocking the full game costs $10, which is extremely expensive for a mobile game. In comparison, Stardew Valley and Faster Than Light are both pc ports with very good reviews and a similar price tag. If the full game was a couple bucks, Im sure many others, ourselves included, would be willing to buy it. Overall, while this game is worth a download, its difficult to recommend paying for the full game.
This is a throwback to the good days of flash gaming on sites like Newgrounds and the like. The game is a lot of fun and it isnt overly challenging or too easy. Overall this is a great game and it just needs some tweaks to polish up the experience. The tutorial might scare some people away since its a little hard to follow. After the tutorial you get to see the amount of content available to unlock in the game from planes, motherships, their weapons, and their upgrades. Our only complaint right now is Ive played maybe 10-15 games and Im unsure how to unlock anything. We know their is an option to pay, but it is unclear to us if their is an opportunity to grind the unlocks.
Este fue el mejor juego en calidad de dirigibles y a mi que us apasionan los dirigibles Buen trabajo.
Idk why it is so addicting its just-so fun to play but we do think yall need to be able to get the airships cus it cost money :).
This game is absolutely amazing. However one problem is the simple fact that it is NOT difficult at all. Like in the late game, you unlock weapons that deal tens of thousands of damage, all while enemy airships are equipped with tier one guns and maybe a flak cannon. And the airships themselves dont get stronger, they just appear more. All Im asking for is stronger enemies however Im afraid this will not be seen, if anyone sees this please feel free to copy it in another review.
This is an amazing game. However Im getting straight to the point, the grind is annoying. Its kind of ridiculous considering you literally have to do hundreds of missions just to get about a million bucks, and some of the motherships and even weapons or planes cost millions. Another problem is the fact that past a certain point the game is paywalled, which yes we understand you want to make money from the game but still.
The concept and execution of this game are nothing short of exemplary, combat both in the seat of the fighters and of airships are incredibly fun and engaging, and we could not complain. We understand that the creator probably wont ever see this, but if you do we would like to say this is a genuinely great game and it deserves so much more recognition than it received however there seems to be this bug where the projectiles from the tier 4 FAB-L are fired off the center from where the gun is actually located and aiming which leads to the shots rarely landing other than close range- Im not sure if the issue is persistent with any other batteries or even for other airships (we have it used on the B-47) but yk.. Thats our only issue with the game really.
Currently the shop will not let players buy new aircraft/airship. Error msg will say that we must unlock T1 first (which are the starting accommodation) permenately locking us from any advancement in game.
Look sir or maam, Im speaking for the underdogs. Im speaking for the broke ones. But first before we speak for them, let us show our appreciation. The fact that you put so little details to it is just amazing. You can shoot the guy that ejected out of his plane. The small spark of the bullet flying out the the gun is spectacular. The details do the default mothership and the plane is AMAZING . We USED to make games similar to this. We can feel the hard work and sweat to make this. But now we must confess. We. Am. BROKE. Not necessarily but on the edge of our seat. Inflation and higher prices are caused developers to add prices. Now dont get us wrong, we used to do it, but then we realized that almost people of all ages play our games(we were forced to take down the game, a warning but we dont know what we did wrong). It brought joy to our heart. Now from one creator to another. Please release the prices. You can add prices for the game currency and buying motherships can be more expensive with in-game currency. Therefore the consumer has the choice to use their own money to get more in-game currency, making the consumer buy the ships WITH the in-game currency (not of our empty pockets) so you can make money. Look, all of this is your choice, you decide. Im just giving helpful recommendations. If you read all the way to here then please respond back saying Good idea or No or Of course but it will take time or something like that. Something to create that spark of hope in the underdogs. We hope you understand and you have an amazing time.
We love this game, fits what we were looking for in a mobile game and the UI brings us Bach to the early days of apple devices where everything was a hard silver color, but it can use some improvements. First off, if you buy gold and points with irl cash, it should be available in full when you start a new campaign. Second off, you should be able to sell unused planes, airships, and equipment so you can recover some or all of the spent gold. Third thing, an endless mode would be fun where the airship is constantly moving and you encounter a mix of trains, convoys, water and airships and you have to live and score as many points as possible in that timeframe and ofc there would be a leaderboard. Fourth thing would be a PvP multiplayer mode where you have to destroy your opponents airship first, but to enter a match both players have to put down and bet gold and the winner takes all. Matches would be separated by max star rating and the minimum cost to enter higher star matches would increase by the amount of stars someones stuff is. These are our suggestions that would/could make this game so much better. Also theres a bug where if you try to click on an upgrade that you cant afford with level points it hard crashes the game and if you open up the store without playing a match first it turns your screen black and you have to restart your game to be able to do anything.
Its fun but how do you get more fighters it says purchase tier 1 so how do you Evan get it.
We love it! Its such a creative idea and its so entertaining! The lore is just so creative but short. We love this game.
Should add futuristic weapons like lasers or one hit rail guns or something. Would make the game better we feel.
So we really love this game, it has the graphics, the fun gameplay, and other cool stuff. Our only issue with this game is that we dont know how to unlock other planes, airships, and weapons. Can we only get them through paying money? Please help.
We really love this game and it always has a cool unique battle to participate in but a problem we have encountered was with the primary turrets on tier 2 motherships. With all the primary cannons we have used the rounds that shoot from the primary turret do not align with the direction the turret is looking or sometimes even placed, causing it to miss constantly due to the turret still trying to aim the correct way but the bullets spawn off point. This has made primary turrets and there for the blimps that use these turrets almost useless, which is a huge disappointment seeing has motherships are always super expensive and take a lot of effort to earn. If there was any way to fix this issue than that would be amazing, but overall aside from that the game is genuinely amazing and can really get us through a time when we have nothing to do but just sit there. We love this game and its only minor issues that bring it down for us.
Fun little game about fighting various enemies with your massive airship and fighters.
Cool except we cant get the second plane weapons and the plane its self and the airship its self how do we get it.
Whilst yes this is undoubtedly an amazing and very unique game there are things that could be improved. For example the variety of enemies as there is a limited number of ships, zeppelins and ground vehicles trenches and actual soldiers would make interesting foes or friends. Also enemies that deploy aircraft such as carriers or airfields that would make battles more difficult the longer a player doesnt destroy these targets. And lastly some more options for airship weapons and fighter aircraft one thing that could be added is an airship weapon that acts like the machine gun for fighters.
Please fix the various bugs throughout the game, from what Ive played so far it is extremely fun. Ive had a bug where when we make a new save, we cant do anything and the tutorial doesnt show up.
We hope for your return and safety because this is a good game there is so much potential even if you cant do daily updates it will still be worth, hope to hear from you again Ill keep playing a supporting you till then.
For the small amount of time we have been playing this game we found it to be a great game. There is a major issue though, micro transactions! We understand you need to make money but it is impossible to play the game without spending some cash. We would say its a great game if you have 5 bucks laying around.
Only ask/critique is that the crashes be fixed. Certain selections while navigating the menus cause the game to crash. It is at least repeatable and therefore avoidable but still frustrating. And it could be nice to have an inverted controls option since we are flying aircraft here. Overall very happy so far.
We will start out by saying that we enjoy playing this, and have not gotten far into the game yet. Initially when starting the UI was confusing, however it became easier to navigate with the tutorials help and fiddling around with it. We think the game would benefit from a help button for UI and making some things clearer, such as unlocking the next tiers. There is an option to pay for the next tier, however it does not tell the user how to unlock it otherwise, if there is a way to unlock it. Im new so we have no idea what we need to do to unlock next tier or certain weapon categories for airship, no hints for either from what Ive seen so far. Just saying some help with the UI for new players would be appreciated, thanks.
