Five star reviews from around the world:

"It runs on literally any iOS, and runs FAST even on older devices. This game has everything you need to entertain yourself for hours. Been playing for 4 years and will play for 4 more!"

"If you haven't at least downloaded and tried this game, you are depriving yourself of The best hidden gem on the App Store."

"Best 3D dogfighting game I've ever played on my iPad! Great for playing with a friend. Fun graphics. Cool noises. No charge. What's not to like? It also has a complexity that some similar games lack."

"Complicated enough that you can spend hours on it, but quick enough that it can just as easily fill five minute gaps. Perfect."

"This is so freaking fun! I can't believe it was free, it is good for people who like retro or modern style games. Seriously you HAVE to get it."
