Boom Pilot

Fun game. Yes it only takes 2 to 3 hours to beat. Don’t let the kiddie graphics fool you. This game is fairly challenging yet not frustrating to the point of deleting the game before beating it. Some levels might need to be played multiple times to beat but is reasonable. For whoever beats the game with 3 stars on every level, bravo.

The game falters in almost every aspect besides gameplay and music (the latter I’m ambivalent towards). The plot is very easy to talk about as there is none. No context for what’s going on, at least not in the actual game. The app description has the story, which is just context for context’s sake and comes off as a afterthought because of it. The graphics are bland, with simple shapes and designs with next to no characters or enemies actually being memorable. White spheres and cubes for pilots, great job guys. As for gameplay, it’s fun...until the game ends. You can beat this game in an afternoon with next to no effort. There’s no point to upgrading your ship; by the time you have a general plan of what you want to focus on, the game ends, which is a huge bummer. If this game had more levels to beat, an arcade/infinite mode to pass the time, and more memorable graphics (as in actual characters), my rating would be much higher.

You’ll beat the game pretty quickly if you have fun with it. I don’t ever play games but this one was recommended to me and I enjoyed it. There’s not enough levels. More planes would be cool too. I understand the game just released. When can we expect more content?

This game is great for children under the age of 5. The constant tutorials make it superb for any child who has never played a video game before in his or her life. The frequent reminders that you can move your plane up and down as well as left and right make it super simple for even the youngest kid to learn to play this super simple game. Great work developing a child's game in a market where young kids are often overlooked in games with complex gameplay, level design, or inadequate tutorials.

I just upgraded and my plane lost all of its upgrades. Grumble. I'm not sure about the new and improved control scheme. It seems harder to control. This game could be a lot of fun, but it needs more levels and it needs to be rehalanced...currently you end up spending more time watching ads than playing the game.
