Plane Old Game

AI defenses have conquered the Pacific.  Take it back!

  • Conquer the sea: Plot your path through enemy infested islands to destroy the core.
  • Conquer the land: Enemy defenses hold the islands.  Destroy them to progress.
  • Conquer the skies: Enemy planes will try to stop you.  Dodge, weave and fight back to clear the skies.
  • Loot: Find consumables to power up your plane, carrier ammunition to destroy targets from a distance, and plane parts to upgrade your planes.
  • Customise: Choose your difficulty.  Choose your map size, larger takes longer, smaller gives less rewards.
  • Repeat: Play the same seed again to see if you can do better or try a new seed.

Work in Progress

This game is in development and features will be added and/or removed over time.

What's Missing?

  • End game: The end game boss has not been created and will be added in a future update.  There is also no win condition but you can consider it complete upon defeating the final island.
  •  Tutorial: Tutorial missions are in development. There is a first draft of a training mission to teach the basics of flight and bombing runs.  In the future there will be a series of missions to teach various flight skills.
  • More content:  There is currently at least one version of every island type except the end boss.  In the future there will be several variations of every type of island.
  • Polishing: The polishing phase of development is partially completed but still requires more work.
  • Art: Some art assets are temporary coder art and need to be replaced.

Flying Tips

  • Don't Fly Straight:  If you hear the thud of the defenses firing it's time to dodge and weave.  Change direction often when you're in the hot zone.  Drift boost can help with this.
  • Drift Boost:  Boost mode (shift or right shoulder button) makes you accelerate faster.  Drift mode (space or left shoulder button) makes you turn faster but disables flight physics.  Combine the two to power up a drift boost giving a triple power boost, but be careful because you cannot cancel a drift boost after it begins.
  • Dive Bombing:  To increase the accuracy of your bombing runs, try diving on the target.  You can also release your bombs while climbing to lob them over great distances but they will not be accurate.  Level bombing is somewhere in between.
