What people like
- Simple to pick up and play

- No ads if you fail a wave

- Ads interrupt you constantly
- Keeps crashing when you open it
- Support never actually helps
Throw Back Fun
I love the advanced graphics on the old-school theme of the classic tailgunner experience! It reminds me of being in the arcade in 1981 but better graphics!
Rigged scoring algorithm
Reminds me of carnival “games”. Literally turn a plane to smoke with perfect hit, yet no points for you, wasn’t a “critical hit”. Session waves usually don’t contain enough possible points to win a game, you’ll need to watch another ad. 🍭
Just starting
Seems addictive and challenging
Shame
Great fun but constantly stops allowing gun control preventing me from aiming the gun at incoming planes on my iPad 2 so I have to delete and reload the app, not great!
Sollte besser gehen
Überhitzung der Guns ist einfach zu übertrieben. Grafik geht in Ordnung. Ansonsten ganz ok.
Wonderful and entertaining
The game is challenging. Ads are minimal. What I really like is that you’re not punished when you fail at any particular wave of enemy aircraft. You are simply provided with another opportunity without having to watch an ad or pay a price. Highly recommend
Weapons/Power ups freezing up
I've been having my weapons/power-ups freezing up while trying to play the game! Emailed the problem but only received one response that didn't deal with the issue, no further response!! Fun game when it worked!!!
Great game
Great game
Charlie is bored
Cool game but very repetitive. Same thing over and over.
Charlie
Really fun to play
Don’t listen to complaints
I’ve been playing for 2 yrs .. That said I can not EVERREACH THE HIGH SCORE ! I have Maxed time, planes destroyed , anything you can do … went and looked only to find the high score to be DOUBLE what I scored simply not possible. When I write these people I get a form letter. There HORRIBLE I like the game and it’s fun but frustrating becuase I cannot see my personal best or even last score
Love it
Good graphics and realistic aircraft. Addicting!! Great time killer when waiting for plane or train trips. Usually hand it off to a kid who is watching and let them do it
Bug
The game doesn’t let me access it, when I go onto the loading screen it is stuck there, fix it
Awsome
Amazingly fun game
Emmyt Milnes
This game is really fun to play until it gets virtually impossible to shoot down planes.
ADDICTIVE!!
Truly a pleasure to play both challenging and pleasantly addictive!!
Норм
Весьма не дурственно
Great!
Fun to play.
Ads
just loaded and went through tutorial and was going to practice but had to go through three ads and felt it was never going to stop, I’M OUT
“I’m Hooked!”
Decided to try this app after its advertisement swooped through while engaged in a similar app. Anytime something occupies me intensely and makes me totally oblivious to time, I can say I’m hooked. The only reason I want give it 5 stars yet is because that someone erodes the developer’s ability to strive to making a good app much better.
The firing
Great game and concept. The only issue I have had I think it’s a bug Where the gun stops firing after a reply. The gun is not hot. And just fires 2 rounds I think it’s a problem have to reload the game again.
Excellent
Lots of fun here and lots of shooting. Just what I want. Works real smooth on my iPad. You can shoot the enemy pilots that bail out, very cool. I wish there were boats to shoot at too.
I don’t want an ad every time I click on practice
STOP SHOWING THESE CRINGE ADS EVERY TIME I HIT PRACTICE
Time killer
You can dive in and out of this game and keep your progression. It is harder than it may seem but with the right tactics you can beat each level.
Overheating guns....
This is frustrating... they ought to run for longer bursts even if a few more hits are required
I LOVE THIS GAME
This game is always challenging and fun and I have encountered no ads in my time of having it, which is more than what I can say for other games so if you’re looking for a challenging yet fun game with no ads then this is the one. (You may think this is just a bot or something but trust me it’s not this game is just so fun.) :)
Hi
It was a fun game. But for some reason.. it is stuck right know and I was doing real well. Please fix this I’m very upset
Pretty darn good
Really entertaining game.
Awesome
This game takes me back to the early Beachhead games of the 90s, what a blast. 1 note, sound doesn’t work on any of my devices.
Horrible turning!
It has bad graphics and it is hard to turn. I had to move my hand all around and I couldn’t shoot the planes. Also, the guns overheat in like five seconds! Worst game ever invented!!!!😡
Good stress relief
Good, well designed game. Getting used to leading the aim takes some getting used to. But once you get the hang of it it’s pretty addictive.
Melvin
Really good game.
Crap
Load of rubbish
Great
Simple, fun, addictive
Turkey shoot
Excellent game , for the fast eyes , quick thinking challenging you’re aiming abilities.
Gfc
Crashes now and then but the biggest turn off is the new six engine plane. Given up with it now. Deleted.
A review
Easy to pick up, difficult to master.
