The mobile version inherits the feel and gameplay of the classic arcade, plus familiar music, gives players a very nostalgic atmosphere. The game is similar to the previous games in terms of mechanics. Players swipe the screen to control the movement of the aircraft. Various types of enemies will appear in the level. There are planes in the air, battleships on the sea, and tanks on the land. Players need to focus on the height of their plane, which is a clever way to test a player’s ability. At the end of each level players must fight a boss in a lengthy battle.

Although the mobile version of 1945 Air Force requires a certain amount of skill from the player, it is actually not too difficult. Your aircraft has a health bar so it will not be destroyed immediately after being hit. You can also strengthen and increase the attack power of your bullets. Players can take out their mobile phones to play at any time, or they can immerse themselves in it for a long time. It is a very good game, and I recommend giving it a try.

Ball Blast

Although this is a simple small production 2D art mobile game, the gameplay is very interesting. The player controls a cannon moving it left and right. The cannon can fire bullets to destroy the rocks that fall from the sky. If the rocks are huge they cannot be destroyed in one shot, instead they bounce when they fall to the ground. When this happens players must be careful not to hit the rocks or it’ll be game over.

It may be a little awkward to begin with but after playing for a while, you’ll get used to the controls.The main thing is not to be greedy when attacking but to focus on survival.

After each battle, players need to use gold coins to strengthen the cannon’s attack power, speed, and the amount of gold coins obtained at the end of each level.

The combat feel of this game is good. It is very exciting when the bullets hit the rocks. It is easy to lose track of time when playing this game.

Another vertical Shoot ‘em Up game with very simple graphics. The gameplay is simple too, just shoot a bunch of monsters and enjoy the sound effects which are very futuristic.

Although it seems that the game has no obvious new ideas, the level design is excellent. The flight trajectory of the enemy monsters is dazzling, clever and they change patterns in unbelievable ways. It’s colorful and it’s clear to see that the developers have worked hard.

After each level is completed, players can purchase new airplanes, secondary weapons, and participate in endless mode to pass through the other levels.

On the whole, this is a small and exquisite mobile game, but the catch is that it takes a little longer than the rest.
