a pretty good game, but i think it needs to have multiplayer mode so it would be less of a side scroller than a battle arena. it also needs more weapons/upgrades. otherwise pretty good.
Reviews for "Awesome Planes"
Awesome gameplay, but Story Mode is too easy and there's no highscore on Survival! I'm left a little disappointed... Some giant bosses would have been cool too. I hope to see a sequel.
Great game mechanics, but the weapons are too powerful, and the combat area too small, resulting in an easy to beat 15 min game. For Awesome Planes II, (and there MUST be a II!!!) consider a campaign storyline, and missions that require precision flight or selective shooting.
All in all, F*n' good job!
Awesome game is awesome!!
Pretty good game, though the control scheme takes a bit to get used to - and even then, it still feels "awkward".
With that in mind, I'd have to say the only real flaw of power-ups is the "afterburner" - seriously, even at full upgrade, it feels pretty moot to me. I'd either recommend increasing the amount of energy you get to burn as it levels (by a considerable amount - possibly four times as much), or greatly increasing the regeneration rate of the afterburner power.
Also, if the laser became slightly wider as you upgraded it, this would be a decent way to compensate for the control scheme.
Outside of that, this is a well made game, and doesn't seem to have any noticeable glitches, so kudos.
Though, I'd have to say, overall it seems a little too small for me. The later stages should have more enemies spawn, possibly swarms of smaller guys. At that point, you're annihilating them anyway, so it'd give it a bit more 'epic' of a feel if you're wiping them out in waves.
