About this game

Man the tail gun turret in this WWII action/arcade shooter! Use your phone's gyroscope or touchscreen to aim your guns, and touch either red button to open fire.

The tail gunner was a critical role in the crew of bombers like the B-17, B-24, B-25, and B-29.

Guns! Rack your twin .50-cals to defend your bomber against the ever-growing waves of Axis fighters.

Planes! Me-109s, FW-190s, Bf-110s, whatever the Axis can throw at you.

Lives! You only get 5. Once 5 enemy fighters make it past your defenses, it's game over for you and your flight crew.

Ammo! As in unlimited, you'll never run out! Just keep an eye on how hot your guns are; if they overheat, the enemy won't wait for them to cool down before swooping in for the kill.

This game is graphically demanding, which means it will gleefully eat your battery. Don't play if you're without a charger and waiting for that call from the hospital to let you know your new kidney has arrived.

If you're aiming using your gyroscope and it drifts out of alignment (or you want to face a different direction), just point your phone at where the "center" should be and hit the Align button at bottom left.

Works with the Arkade Blaster: http://www.arkade.games

Ok, this is just mindless fun! The big band music and images from the era are a great touch. I really liked the floating targets in the beginner levels which lead the enemy aircraft; helpful for honing your skills a bit. (Side note: I grew up learning to trap shoot so the simulation of leading the target is really accurate.) Especially impressive is just knowing that this game was developed by a team of one; great work.

Great game, well thought out, great graphics, and addictive to say the least. Ads are kept to a minimum. Allows for several different game and practice levels. Cons: I don't know if it's just me but seems like the Jap planes take more damage than they could in real life and occasionally the game just stops and goes to the home page. You can go right back in to the game and resume play but it screws up any kind of momentum you may have going. Definitely Top 5 material.

Fun game, easy to pick up and get decent at, but man... Those "Zeros", and to a lesser degree the ME 109s are too damn maneuverable. I get that their whole point is fragile and fast, but it's way too much. It wouldn't be so bad if their movements made sense, but when the plane is on it's side slightly inverted then suddenly zips from the bottom of the screen to the top without rolling back to level... either nerf the maneuverability or make the animations make sense. Hitting them is 90% luck.
