Gameplay

The player controls two planes, a propeller plane and a jet fighter, as they navigate landscapes and defeat enemies.[4] The two planes differ in ammunition and speed, the former of which can be enhanced by power-ups. Both planes can be played simultaneously by two players. Various collectible items float around the player, granting extra points which increase after being shot.[3]

Reception

Martin Robinson of Eurogamer called the game one of the best on the Nintendo Switch, calling it "limited but gorgeous".[5]
