![]() Luftrausersis a fantastic burst of action, that’ll grip you for at least as long as it takes to unlock the superhard mode. Maybe if the combo had stepped down, instead of reset, I wouldn't have started every game of Luftrausers with the anticipation of the dread of playing a dead game walking. Losing a 20x max combo is a failure as profoundly defeating as death, and frequently, I just couldn't find an enemy plane or boat in time. Every game is so volcanically short, and the combo score multiplier so unforgiving, that a game can feel over before long before your ship is destroyed. Well yes, but I haven’t unlocked those yet, and I blame Luftrausers for that. ![]() Each plane part has its own musical theme, so you’ll not only find yourįavourite craft, but your favourite musical combo.Įxperts might be thinking: wait, there are SIX options. That’s 125 combinations, each one lovingly named, and each requiring a subtly different style of attack and defence. And five engines that, for example, let you dive underwater or defy gravity. Five bodies that give you extra health, or eliminate collision damage, so you can use your plane as a melee hammer. Those upgrades are in the pre launch hangar: five guns that change the spread, speed and focus of your attack. Especially as there are no upgrades or power ups, once you’ve launched your ship. Even with Vlambeer's perfect pixellated gunblams, and using the superb caress of gravity to pummel an arc of carnage through a flock of enemy planes, the basic Asteroids action is simple enough to get old, sharpish. ![]() I must have a moral blind spot for Nazis. Sure enough, my knee-flex fury had caused me to tell two Men’s Rights Activists to kill themselves on Twitter before I had a chance to jam a paper clip into the reset button. ![]() I did that by whispering “the gender pay gap is the natural and just result of genetic differences between men and women” into a rubber tube piped into my own ear. And yet, Luftrausers’ aesthetic left me so profoundly unoffended that I had to tap my outrage barometer. ![]()
