Air Wars

Your guns fire on their own in Air Wars — staying alive is the actual job. This WWII dogfighter reduces aerial combat to its purest element: precision piloting. Keep enemies in front of you, keep fuel and ammo topped up from pickups, and the automatic weapons handle the rest.

How to play

Maneuver your fighter to line up foes while the guns fire automatically, weaving through the fight to collect the fuel and ammo that keep your aircraft in the sky. Running dry ends a flight as surely as enemy fire. The typical beginner mistake is ignoring pickups during a promising chase — the kill you almost had means little when the tank empties.

Tips

• Route your chases through pickup locations so resupply never requires a detour.
• Smooth, wide turns hold your aim better than constant sharp corrections.
• When outnumbered, extend away and let pursuers string out before turning back.

Who it's for

Players who want dogfighting stripped to movement skill, in short sorties that suit phone play well. If wartime shooting keeps its grip on you, The Room grounds it in atmosphere, while Funny Shooter 2 makes the whole business considerably sillier.
