April 24, 201016 yr 20 levels?!Never saw that when I skimmed the newspost. Man, I can't even get past the first ten. Oh well, practice makes perfect and so on. It's nice to have a singleplayer game again, something that is a 'work lunchbreak' game. Admitadly I suck really bad at it, but hey, an updates an update.
April 24, 201016 yr I thought the game was rather fun, and I agree its more of a lunchbreak game then the recent ones have been. I also like the feeling of seeing other planes fall after shooting them. :P ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........
May 6, 201016 yr I tried it, I like it that they are still making a few more arcadeish games :) [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.
May 12, 201016 yr I was thoroughly unexcited at the release and I only tried it for the first time today. I'm not impressed. I do really like the way the planes crash after you shoot them down--it's a supremely satisfying little animation. But the camera controls just kill it. You can't see behind you. In a game where you travel in an open field in all directions with a top-down view, you need the camera to be centered so that you can see what's coming up behind you. Okay, sure, so that's not how it is in a real plane, but if that's what the developers were shooting for (hehe), why isn't it a first-person view? Quite frankly, I don't see any reason to play Ace of Skies. Starcannon is a far more entertaining and addictive shooter than this flying-blindly-in-circles mess, and even Stellar Shard is a better execution of the same concept despite being a blatant Asteroids ripoff.

Radar= not flying blindly. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate. I'm a male. :(Since when was Ireland an island...? :wall:I actually have a hobby of licking public toilet seats.[/hide]
