Wideanglegames can you add a "endless" or "survival" mode? When you kill the Red Baron you can't continue and i have it with all upgrades....
It's a good game ;)
It's easy, just need to have a bit skill and luck :) Check the walkthrough video how to do that. Equip your aircraft with stalling weapons like malicious parachute or EMP and erase that nasty baron from the sky.

if we had survival mode it would have 4 planes come in fight you but they get better guns after so many rounds and there would be money system where players could buy weapons and all that stuff before rounds but be timed to and the enemys get more health every round but you get to choose your plane at first and you have to beat campaign first i thing this is a good idea
Hi, Balloon defence is something like sandox or endless mode, you play until you are able to defend balloons :) Or do you mean something else? If yes, tell me the details, because I'd like to add a new game mode soon.

Storm clouds and birds are ridiculously overpowered (example #2312 of sentences I never imagined typing), mostly due to their size and prevalence. The enemies guns seem unduly strong as well, usually destroying part of my plane after two or three hits, even with several armor upgrades (whereas I need many, many hits to down them, again with upgrades).
The only thing you need is a practice. This game is not easy to play at first time, you need to develop some skills and be patient. And sadly, that is the reason the game gets low rating from some players. If you are patient and practice, I guarantee you you will have fun!

I tried "Altitude," and it´s game play is too unrealistic.. You forget they are planes after a while since gravity makes very little effect... and their weapons are too sci-fy. I like it that you could easily Stall in this game.. I´d hope that in the next versions you would increase the ceiling height at least 3x, and reduce the turn rates, and increase gravity a little bit. As is, climbing advantage doesn´t really mean that much vs. speed.
I really hope this game goes Multiplayer some day... it has great potential.
Altitude is not about simulation it is pure simplified model that everybody can play and has fun of it. If I do your recomendations in the game sequel I definitely bury the player audience spread since many casual players will be unable to play. However I can make 2 modes - 1 easy for casual players and 1 hard with all the physics for pro players :) I hope someday I create multiplayer version, but it is too time consuming.

Tried a fight with red baron as a single level, he nuked his own bloon. Then respawned in thin air, hanged there, and flew again. seems like a bug XD

liked the game a lot more than most plane games but i think it would be better if the co-op part of the game was online and not just on one computer if you do take my advice i think more people would play the game
Hi, that was my former intention to make multiplayer game. However, old AS2 technology doesn't allowed that so I had to leave at least hotseat. Sequel will be online multiplayer :)
Hi, more players reported this as a bug. It's just imperfect AI. I'm currently working on it to improve the AI so it does not crash into airships or ground. I hope that that Red Baron will be beatable after AI upgrade :)

I would say to use "Shot Accuracy" instead of "Shoot Accuracy" in the stat chart after a mission..but it is a very cool game none the less.

Would adding a game mode to make this game like "Epic War" style be a good idea? If you could control one plane, but release a bunch minions every so many seconds in a battle of east vs. west... that´d be really cool.

This game was awesome, and appreciate the Dev responses. A sequel would be good. I'd like to see bigger differences between the planes and missions, and maybe different upgrades for the different planes. Still going to give it a 5 star because it was fun and I can come back and play it agian.

why there is no polish ace's? they were best of the best and they were at many of battles for example battle for england

''If you kill your allies you'll have less chance with this enemy, but you'll still get points'' Nice way to promote friendly fire...

hey everybody try mixing Machine Gun with Twin Gun and Burst Gun.That way you can be a all arounder range gunner and if you buy the Impact Bombs then buy the Proximity Detector
One of the small secrets of the game, you are able to mount two machine guns at once! I personally rush on Twin machine gun and use it with standard Machine gun. Then I rush on Malicious parachute and from that point, the game is easy I you know how to use the weapons.
Hi, that was my former intention, to make a multiplayer airplane game. However I implemented the game in actionscript2 and old flash technology and it does not allowed me to make such mutiplayer games without struggling with network lags. So only hotseat multiplayer has left. You can play the game with your friends on one computer, just hit Play->Multiplayer. Maybe the sequel of the game will be pure online multiplayer ;) Or download concurent product. I personally love "www.altitudegame.com"

It seems my plane parts get wrecked even faster than those of my enemies even when I am fully upgraded. Should be more balanced.
Hi, sorry but I'm not a musician nor a thief. I've downloaded the music from flashkit.com, just like thousands of developers do. So If you feel I'm a thief, then 80% of all gamemakers are thieves. It is highly probable that civilwaranimated.com took the music from the same source as me.
Hi, no it's not a bug. Maybe the AI should be smarter, but this is not a bug, just imperfect AI :) If it was perfect, trust me, you won't like this game :D But i'll try to improve the AI a bit. Thanks for your comment.
Hi, you can, but not directly. If you rise steeply you slow down. If you turn nose down and dive from top of the screen to low altitude and then pull up to not crash, you gain speed.

Please,pleasepleaseplease, add an arena mode, just like bloon def but without bloons. I want to shoot stuff, not protect bloons from planes inside em.(maybe make bloons ignore fire from friedlies? annoying to get a plane out ot it) Got to lvl 18 in def so far, maxed out, any more challenge there? Anyway, 5/5 since a dev actually watches over his fun game.
Hi, thanks for a good idea. I think that this wouldn't be a problem to make it, if you have more detailed concept of the game mode in the head, please let me know. Now, if you want to shoot everything, go to Multiplayer, and set the planes as you need and play. In Multiplayer/Custom mode you can shoot everything you like :)

Idiotic game. Why my plane is destroyed by one bullet and the opponents need at least 10 hits before they are downed. Really irritating game.

ok, I finally got a damn reticle on my better aiming. WOW that sucks!!! I sold it because it was too distracting and much harder to lead the target.
Targetting system could help some players, but we, the pro players do not need it :) Targetting system is good when tail gun is purchased, in this case you are able to aim better backwards. Same to bombs, it shows you when to drop bombs (I hope I have implemented this feature :) )

And seriously, what does this targeting upgrade do? I see absolutely nothing from it, and my fire doesn't seem to change.

great game, was lots of fun. But upgrades need a little more balance. Specifically, speed has more of a negative impact than a positive one. You get in front of the enemy you're chasing, instead of being able to throttle back, and it completely eliminates any benefit from agility. You're better off never going above 2 stars on speed.
You are right, not all upgrades are needed to be purchased. Every player must find out which combination is suitable for him. I personally prefer upgrading agility, thrust instead of speed, just like you. Speed is ok, but if you buy it you have to compensate with agility. And speed is possible to gain using diving maneuvre.

So I had no idea what I was doing against the Red Barron... He seemed completely impossible to beat but then he just killed himself twice >< won by default on my first try... yay...

I had my enemy with only one life for four times, all of those he escaped using a parachute and got time to destroy my balloons.
The real beauty of this game is, that just shooting is not enough. You have to think even about good configuration or weapon build. If you have trouble with such enemies that have emergency parachute, use your wisdom instread of brute firepower. If you buy malicious parachute (cheap) or EMP (more expensive) and make him crash, he cannot escape death :) Try this and nothing will stop you! :D

The Intro to this game said it all, that in its self even before I play the game earns a 5/5. Thank you for the reminder of the Battles these men foguht in the Skies. My Great Great Uncle was Billy Mitchell, any history buff will know this man.

This is a fun game. Difficulty seems just high enough to irritate, but not high enough to get me to quit. I must have gotten lucky with Richthofen -- I got him to crash into the zep. Now off to try the Defense...
