This was a nice game. It would be cool if you added some more purpose to landing the plane, like if the fuel and throttle were limited, making it actually useful to land it. Overall great game and enjoyable. Also would be nice to get some extra points for doing loop-de-loops or tricks with the plane. A shield power-up is also a great idea.

This took me back to my first PC gaming experience at age 6ish. Circa 1988. Nostalgia unlocked!

If you pick up an additional machine gun powerup, the plane should fire more bullets simultaneously.

Loved it. That's exactly what AI should be used for. Something that would take us one month at least, full of bugs, AI now delivers in less than a day, ready to ship
This is the essence, AI is a super power, the world is ours
