<description><![CDATA[I had some fun, and got a few laughs out of this one. I would like to have the option of just using my mouse to move up and down and the right button for secondary firing, but other than that, I liked it. Thanks GGOTD!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you for the heads up about the .ogg files Game Seeker.  With all the audio converters that have been given away over the past 6 months, most people should hopefully be able to create some suitable music for the game.  My 6 and just gone 8 year olds thought the game was very funny, Cal would like the serious Sam sound track and Emily a ‘less appropriate’ 12 dancing princesses, so I’ll have to splice them together using other programs given away by the GAotD team.... :D  


I’ve added a few additional scraps of info to the reviews that Swan and Game Seeker gave.  There are quite a lot of different weapons that can be picked up along the way in this game.  Alawar listed first and second level weapons as well as the bonuses you can collect.  It’s odd that the information wasn’t included in a help file via the GUI, however if you go into the games folder you can find a HTML Help file which covers the basics. This is also available when you first install the game provided you left the selection box ticked.

First level weapons: 


Puny Bullets. Simple and weak weapon. Some say it can kill, too.

Fish. Fly out in clusters, but don't all get to their destination point.

Birdies. Fly out in different directions.

Darts. Poison your opponent, when stuck in the body.

Boomerang. Has a nasty habit of coming back to a person who threw it.

Flamethrower. Do you want to feel like an arsonist? With this thing, you can.

Soap Bubbles. Fly up in the air, carrying death and destruction.  



Second level weapons:


Torpedo. Aims and guides itself to strike a target.

Crazy Boot. May bounce off several times when on its way to target.

Anvil. Breaks throw everything and then sticks in the ground.

Napalm Light Bulbs. Fall down, break open and burn everything out with Napalm.

Piano. When this baby explodes, everything on the screen dies.

Killer Boot. It just kills, don't all boots do?

Classic Bomb. Yeah, it's boring. It just explodes and hurts enemies with its fragments.  


Bonuses:


Heart. Gives you a chance to live a little longer.

Jaws. Fly around and help you get rid of your opponents.  


I wasn't too sure about the jaw bonus.  Initially I thought they were trying to get me (I didn’t actually notice that they were orbiting my plane) so I kept trying to avoid them until checking out the information from the Alawar site.  They are reminiscent of the jaws in the breakout game arkamania2.

Apparently there is an earlier version of this game that one reviewer on the Alawar site said was much better. (v1.1 as opposed to this version which should be v1.5) However I found a copy and couldn’t find any difference, lol.  Also it does say that a joy stick is supported, so I assume that if you've got a joy stick configured for the computer, it should work, even though it’s not mentioned in the options menu. 

There is a trainer that also gives you unlimited life and ammunition for the second weapon, but I wouldn't risk going to the sites that offer it, as apart from one, MacAfee’s site advisor gave them a red X, which when I visited the address, filled my screen with pop ups.  (I must turn the pop up blocker back on).  Those cheats may be useful for the youngest of children, however I won’t post the link due the possible risks.  If you really want them, just Google El Airplane.  There are lots of links to search, but you do so at your own risk.    

Personally I think this game is a great trainer for improving younger children’s mouse skills as well as being funny.

This game will definitely be a keeper on my children’s computers.  Thank you for the unusual shooter Alawar and the GGAotD team, ……..every day is a pleasure to visit. :D Thanks also to Swan for her useful review (and Game Seeker, again) :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cute side scrolling shooter for kids.  I generally agree with #20 Swan's assessment that this is ideal for ages around 7 or 8, but considering the humor in this game I would push it up to 10 year olds. It's also easy enough that 5 or 6 year olds could also handle it without trouble. One nice thing is it's a "clean" shooter, no blood or gore and nothing to upset younger kids or give their parents pause. 

It's true that the game is keyboard only, no mouse or joystick options. But controls are very responsive and easy. The player never runs out of bullets so they can just hold down the left control key for continuous fire while using arrow keys to navigate. It's an easy game that's less likely to frustrate younger kids than more difficult  games. This is one younger kids can actually win.

Cartoon graphics that kids will like and they are shooting down things like toilets, dragons, mummies, balloons, etc. so it's all very amusing. There's bonuses like flying hearts for extra life and wrapped presents that deliver extra points. Collect bonuses by letting them touch the plane rather than shooting them.

It is possible to change the somewhat annoying music, the short .ogg files that continuously loop are located in a Sounds subfolder of the Worlds folder. Just put your own .ogg files in there  renamed to the same names. For anyone who doesn't know how to do that, it's easier to turn the music off or down in options. Game sounds are separately controlled in options, so play is possible with game sounds but without the annoying short and continuously looped music tracks.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is one of the worst games ever given here.  You don't even have to shoot at the objects, you can just crash into them..So to say this but it's just awful.  I do love this sight and I'm not ungrateful at all.  this is just a terrible game and don't waste your time downloading it.  Be back tomorrow.]]></description>
