PLANES ATTACK

PLANES ATTACK is a very direct action game idea: planes come in, and the whole point is to deal with them before the screen gets away from you. By our assessment, that simplicity is its main strength, because a game like this lives on readable action and quick reactions rather than complicated systems. The downside is equally plain, since an attack-pattern arcade game can become repetitive fast if the controls, scoring or enemy variety are not doing enough work. In practice it should feel immediate and noisy, with most of the attention spent on tracking movement and staying alive. Compared with deeper shooters, it sits closer to a simple arcade challenge than to a layered combat game. PLANES ATTACK is for short bursts, not for players looking for a lot of buildup or strategy.
