With free apps, you're not the customer; you're the product. The marketing companies hoovering data about you from your phone are the customers; if you block their connection and keep them from scraping your phone the app dev won't get paid.

Hi,
Very good graphics and sounds. Just finished a half an hour of fun and excitement. I will play it again till the end of story :) Overall, it's a very good game (or maybe because I'm just a fan of SHTMUP games).Thanks guys for the offer and please more games of that kind ;)

Installed and registred with ease. I don't have a clue, why someone claims to have found a keylogger in the exe ? I scanned with Malwarebytes Antimalware, Bitdefender Total Security and Eset Online Scanner. To make sure, I uploaded the executeable file to Virus Total, and it was and is clean. Please check in a proper way, before you post such a rant.
The game has 3 different levels : Easy - Medium and Hard. Well, at first it seems almost too easy, but the longer you play, the harder it gets. It's not a great game, but it's just the kind of game, you can play without stress. Quite funny, actually. Thanks for generous offer, PlayJoeWee - and as usual big time thanks to Whiterabbit for review and effort to offer games for free. Greets from Denmark

How can a game be both "Next Generation" and "Retro?" Wouldn't they cancel each other out like the Negative Zone in the Marvel Universe. POOSH, just gone!
What a CUTE LIL PLANE!
But all the SMITHEREENS just gathered at the bottom bottom of my monitor and slowly filled it up as more and more enemy planes were blasted into them until all I had left was one small line at the top where I could see to type this message.
Gonna shake my laptop like and Etch-A-Sketch to clear it back up!

To be honest (am concerned you may accuse me of being dishonest unless i say that) the game seems very good. It works fine in my old laptop that runs Windows 98, and can even be used with an external handle. I give it three thumbs up.

#7: "gameplay is not good, I guess phone games are less demanding?"
Well, you've got much less powerful hardware, you've got a small screen, touch control isn't as precise as a mouse, & many just want to kill 3 or 5 or 10 minutes while waiting for something like a pizza or the bus. Simple games like this can sometimes earn developers the most money through ad revenue -- the magic formula seems to be to make them frustrating [which this one apparently is not] so people keep trying to beat it, e.g. the infamous Flappy Bird.
Last week's game was done with the Unity SDK [haven't checked this one yet], which is designed to be somewhat hardware agnostic. With Windows they're not all the way there yet, & mileage varies depending on your hardware setup.

The simplistic cartoonish graphics and mouse control did not encourage me to try this out. I thought maybe it would make more sense on a phone, say, when I'm travelling or waiting for something and have some time to kill. So I clicked the link to the Google Play Store and the android version of this game is free all the time. Checked permissions, as I always do before installing anything on my phone, and it requires full network access. What for? It's not a MMOG, just a simple shooter. It doesn't even have a 2 player online game option, does it? So why does it need any network access? Since I have Comodo Internet Security for android on my phone I know it is possible to ban network access using the firewall. Then all such games usually stop working. Why, if they don't transmit any private/sensitive data from our phones? Or don't they? Just wondering .... :-)

I've noticed you can go back and replay any level you've already played (use the L/R arrow keys at the menu). So if you're having trouble with a boss, replay a few easier levels to upgrade your weapons, then return to the boss.
FWIW, animation is quite smooth on my system (Athlon 64x2 3.0, HD5670 ...not exactly state of the art).

gameplay is not good, I guess phone games are less demanding?
Installed fine on Win7 x64 Ultimate. One the start up screen, look for what looks like a gear wheel on the top right of the screen. Click on that to be able to change the volume of the game and of the music.

Installed pretty easily because its like a portable exe file. Played the game once and deleted all the files. This game is not worth the HD space. Not only ist it silly to have this plane following the mouse pointer but you dont really get to move the plane around much.
I've played better. Go to miniclip.com and play the red baron. Graphics are better there.

A side scrolling shooter apparently designed for iphones (you're instructed to "tap" things in the menu), it installed and plays well in full screen (1680x1050) in Vista 32. Only options are volume for effects and music, and three levels of difficulty. All control is via the mouse.
You move your aircraft, which shoots continually, up and down and back and forth on the screen over various comic book landscapes as you shoot some enemies and dodge others in increasingly difficult levels. There are temporary power-ups and megaweapons dropped occasionally, though you'll usually take damage going after them. You earn money based on enemies destroyed and your lifeforce lost, between levels you can buy better weapons and better ammo, more life, etc. You keep whatever weapons you buy from level to level but if you lose a life you lose a weapon also (I spent thousands upgrading my guns and ammo, then lost it all on one boss ...on easy difficulty). Most levels last a minute or so, except bosses, which last til either you or the boss are eliminated; so this is a good game for passing a few minutes.
Cute graphics, decent sounds, simple gameplay - definitely a thumbs up from me.

Don't install this game! Into the executable file, there is a hidden keylogger!
Be attention!!!
I think it's not a good reputation! Thanks!!!

The game giveaway team use several well known malware suites to check all game giveaways. There has never been a game giveaway released here with malware attached since the giveaways inception back in Dec 2006. What software did you use that detected the keylogger?

Downloaded/installed fine on Vista 64-bit
It's a phone game. I played it on my PC, but I can't imagine it being better on a phone.
The graphics are simple and clean, a nice cartoony look with bright colors. The music and sound effects are good too.
Gameplay itself was boring. The plane shot constantly and automatically, and all the player has to do is move up, down, forward, or backward to shoot enemies or dodge bullets. There are a few power-ups that could be used during the regular parts, but not against the bosses.
The resolution was wrong for my monitor and I there weren't (or I couldn't see) any options to change it or the volume. At least a couple inches were cut off, but then, it's not meant to be played on a PC.
So overall, it looks good but isn't much of a challenge.

Hi Morten, try using a different file archiver to unpack the zip file. I'v posted several in the FAQ's thread over in the game discussion sticky section of the forums. (Linked to the thread in my short review above)

Colorful graphics

The Game:
Big Air War is another game ported over from android games. It plays like a retro arcade game, but lacks refinement. Think of it as a side scrolling Galaga with Red Baron like planes.
Big Air War has decent play but is relatively undeveloped. You are the pilot of an old school propeller plane on the left, and enemy craft appear on the right. Just fly around the screen, blasting everything in sight and trying not to take any slugs yourself. The opposing craft are part futuristic, part retro warfare. It’s fun to weave and dodge around the screen while blasting everything to smithereens. The gunfire happens automatically, and there are some cool power ups; just fly over them to activate.
