Fly Or Die:

In Brief:
Fly Or Die is a casual side-scrolling side-scrolling shooter reminiscent of those old arcade shooters from the 1980's. It was released on Steam 25th November 2021 and added to Falcowares library 6 days ago.

You can see a video of game play HERE and there are two Steam reviews (both positive and in Russian) HERE.

Introduction:
Fly Or Die is a side-scrolling side-scrolling shooter in which the player acts as the pilot of a military aircraft. You will have to plunge headlong into the atmosphere and the universal brutality of air battles during a stormy and terrible war.

By destroying the enemy fleet, the player earns money, which can and should be used to buy ammunition, bomber support, and improve his aircraft. Survive ten days in different hot spots at the helm, or die proudly behind it.

Reference accessed HERE 9th December 2021.

The Game:
Fly or die is a side scrolling flight shooter, with several different environments to fly thorough. Fly through increasingly hostile territories, with tanks, artillery and planes firing at you. Use an arsenal of machine guns (LMB), Rockets (RMB), and nukes (Q) to fly (WASD) along a side scrolling corridor with air wave abilities that destroys all Opfor (opposing forces) that are on screen at the time .

You earn cash for destroying the Opfor which can be used to upgrade your plane and weapons. Health upgrades that improve or repair damage to your plane cost $500, shields cost $300, improved ammunition costs $100, Airwaves cost $2000 and call in strikes that deliver a wave of bombs that destroy anything they hit will cost you $500.

There are ten levels to complete.

Conclusion:
Fly Or Die is a decent looking side scrolling shooter; an homage to those side scrollers that we played in the arcades back in the 1980's that is ideal for those 15 - 20 minute coffee breaks or as a break from more intensive AAA games.

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 55 antimalware engines.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that only opens your browser once to Falcoware's home page after the game has installed and also places four shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed).

The installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcoware's home page following the games installation, it earns Falcoware games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. Once you've installed the game, there are no more browser redirections. This is because Falcoware removed their installer over a year ago (that installer would show an advert for a game and then open your browser each time you played and then closed the game down.)

Whiterabbit-uk,

Other Free Games:
Please check Delenn's threads over in the giveaway forums HERE {e.g. Crime Cities free for a limited time on GOG} and HERE for the latest non Steam and Steam freebies. Also for the latest Steam sales check THIS Steam database site out. You can list the games in 'price' & 'percentage off' by clicking the headers. If you link SteamDB with your Steam account, all games that you already have will be highlighted in green. When there are Steam games being given away, you'll see 100% off.

Don't forget to check Indie Gala's freebie section HERE, then click on the Showcase header, selecting freebies from the drop down menu; recent additions include Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, and Potatoman Seeks the Troof. Recent games such as Distortions, Dino Run DX, Cheap Golf, Kill Em All, Dead Hungry Diner and Contract with the Devil have now been removed. All remaining freebies can be found in the showcase section (around 100 are available). Not all games that go into the showcase remain free, so you should grab them as soon as you can.

The latest Epic games end later today and include Dead by Daylight, a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed. We also get While True: Learn (Data Scientist Edition) - a puzzle/simulation game about even more puzzling stuff: machine learning, neural networks, big data and AI. But most importantly, it’s about understanding your cat.

From later today, we will get Godfall Challenger Edition, (released last year on the 12th November) - Save Aperion. You are the last of the Valorian knights, masters of combat equipped with legendary armour called Valorplates. Ascend in Godfall, a first-of-its-kind, looter-slasher, melee action-RPG the challenger edition includes maximum level unlocks and skills from the outset. We will also be getting the excellent Prison Architect - Welcome Wardens! Only the world’s most ruthless Warden can contain the world’s most ruthless inmates. Design and develop your personalized penitentiary in Prison Architect.

If anyone who got the previous weeks TheHunter: Call of the Wild is interested in playing some coop with me, please leave a message in the thread I posted over in the forums HERE; I'll then contact you via the email you've used for your forum sign in and I'll send you a link to my Discord channel and make some arrangements to play. I've been playing the game regularly since June this year (accruing over 600 hours of game play). I've found playing with friends much more enjoyable.

The best Indie Bundles sites that have been operating from around 2011 are the Humble Bundle and Indie Gala sites where you'll sometimes find decent bundles with over 90% off the usual price of the games included in the bundles. The Humble site is in my opinion the best. A more recent addition that is worth checking out are the Fanatical bundles (used to be called Bundle stars)that you can find HERE (thanks Delenn for reminding me of this bundle, I've just recovered my account and found thousands of unused Steam keys listed from various bundles I purchased from 2012 to 2017).

p.s. If you are a collector of removed games from Steam. The developer MS Game Studio are closing down their development team due to economic conditions and are removing all of their games from the Steam store from the 16th December 2021, at which time they will no longer be available for sale anywhere. All four games are 90% off until they are removed. I've checked the first two games, a single player game called Bloody Sand : The Gods Of Assyria (£2.37), and a single player/ multiplayer game called North Of Iraq Part 1 (£2.37), and found them both playable and mildly interesting but nothing special. Also available for the last time are Prison 69 (£1.54) which has a content warning being unsuitable for children and Battle Sad Boy (£0.71). The games get mixed reviews via the Steam community. I would say that for the price they are acceptable, but none of the games had anything new or exceptional to offer and in my opinion, are only suitable for those who like to collect games.

Whiterabbit-uk,

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, which has 95% of almost eighteen thousand 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews is 100% off temporarily. Grab it while you can. This is an excellent AAA game:

Thanks for the heads up . :-)

JEDIGEG,

Hi G, did you see my email? (I sent it on Tuesday). It has a Steam key for a game on your wish list called Dungeon Rushers.

Reply | Comment by Whiterabbit-uk – 2 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

Whiterabbit-uk, hi .
Yes I did , almost immediately after you send it .
Because STEAM does not work under Windows XP ,
I had to boot from Windows 7 in order to activate ,
download and install the game .
Also , in my comment for the game Mahjong World Contest 2 ,
I said : "WR , thanks for the gift . :-)"
I did that because I knew that I 'll forget to reply to your email ... :-)

About the game ...
I saw that it's an RPG game .
I must confess that I've never played an RPG game .
The only game I've played , that comes remotely close , was
STAR WARS : Shadows of the Empire , that was (I think) a
third-person shooter / Action RPG .
So , your gift will be my first "pure" RPG ... :-) .

Something about The Hunter: Call of the Wild .
As you know I always read your reviews .
So , I have read your praises about The Hunter: Call of the Wild .
I was very glad to see it been offered by EPIC .
The plan was to install the game and then accept your invitation
to go hunting together ... :-)
Unfortunately , I've forgot to claim the game !!!
After realizing what I did , I was cursing my self for about an hour
(stupid , stupid , stupid ) ...
I've stopped cursing my self when I went to EPICs page of the game
and saw the system requirements .
My PC does not have the power to play the game ... :-(
Nevertheless , I would love to have the game in my collection .
Maybe , in the (near , I hope) future I will upgrade to a much powerful PC .
Anyway ... I am almost sure that the game will be offered again , someday ...
So ... Thank you again , very much , for the game .
I really appreciate it .
Later my friend .

JEDIGEG,

Hi G, my memory must be playing up again as I don't recall reading the ''thanks for the gift' that said one of the staff members does often moderate the comments, so I may have missed it completely. That is such a shame that you missed the freebie; however, the developer seems to have been pushing the game a lot recently, with the complete edition appearing on a Humble Bundle several weeks ago for £11, which was an amazing bargain as the whole lot costs approaching £100.

What I love about the game is that it has some amazing scenery that you can either walk around in or travel virtually anywhere on an ATV. Being virtually housebound and was a keen hiker before my accident, the game gives me some of the feelings i got when I used to go walking over the moors etc, plus the game is very relaxing; for example, in the new reserve that was released this Tuesday gone, I spent 90 minutes sitting atop a tripod waiting for a gator to appear to complete a mission. I was quite happy waiting, taking in the sounds and sights the game has to offer.

Whiterabbit-uk, hi .
Look at the page
https://game.giveawayoftheday.com/mahjong-world-contest-2-2/

My full comment was :
"According to my archives , the game was given away at least one more time ,
at Saturday 19-01-2019 .
The 2 files are exactly the same
If you like mahjong games , it's a nice game .
I didn't go far enough , so , I can't say anything about the crashing problem that Anthea reported .
I will try to reach that level and see if I'll have the same problem .

WR , thanks for the gift . :-)"

-----

£11, is an amazing bargain .
Unfortunately I can't afford it .
My sole income is 100 € .
A state allowance for being extremely poor .

If some day manage to raise the money for a new PC , I promise
I will buy the game and go gator watching / waiting with you ... :-)
