Above & Beyond / Air Combat




When the app is first opened a gamer name must be entered, this is for online scores etc.
After selecting new game 4 on screen options will be given to you, options/conquest/arcade/customise. In options you can alter turn and pitch sensitivity. Customise allows you to select your aircraft and change its colour/weapons/shields.Arcade gives you quick game modes like survival and gauntlet whilst conquest plays the main game.
To play conquest the idea is to fly your aircraft (using accelerometer to control main movement of craft) around islands with red lights shining on them and destroying any enemy turrets/aircraft/ships along your journey. On screen controls allow you to speed up/slow down/fire weapon or pause game. When an islands enemy forces have been destroyed the red light turns to green and you can then move on to the next island. The overall control system is very good and dog fighting with enemy aircraft is good fun, as each island is completed the next gets more difficult via an increasing amount of enemies, there is also 3 difficulty levels on the game so this can be played by casual and serious gamers, on easy I completed the first 5 levels in approx 15 minutes. An upgrade in the future for online gaming would be great, fingers crossed for that.
Overall a great game with good controls, 8/10
