Hey guys, really like the game. I read some of tge reviews and knowing its just a small company trying to make this is awesome. Honestly its a fun concept and the gameplay is spot on. A few suggestions i had for you if you want is maybe add some way to get extra warning you are close to the target before it pops on screen. Maybe have the arrow flash right before the enemy pops on screen? If its a dumb idea just forget it.

There needs to be more planes to unlock, serious this is just a bad money grab it seems. Plus there are too few levels. And I think it would be cool to choose your side in the campeign. Or even better, have multiple skins to choose from so you could customize your fleet. And it would be nice if in the campeign you could decide how many of what style plane are what type, then your whole fleet could be different types and have a serious change to gameplay.

-An excellent game with many game modes and many achievements to earn. -Pocket Squadron is a simple, yet challenging game. -I found that an aggressive playstyle won me the campaign. -I have no idea where the secret mission is found. I do admire that it is a well hidden secret, but there is little fun in a secret without the pursuit of finding out what it is.

I really love this game. Such a simple yet in depth game and can be really difficult sometimes!! My only suggestion would be (as you are apparently working on already) a German faction and waay more bombers and land vehicles (fighters too ;) .) I mean I guess ww1 wasn't that big on mobile AA guns like the m16 from ww2 but if you guys know of one that would be awesome to see in the game. I will definitely recommend this game to my friends.

Good but not great - levels are good, but only 20? C'mon, if you want me to buy better planes (And I would) i need to justify doing so, and would, if you had 100 levels. Also, only 1 campaign map? C'mon, really? This good game could be awesome with a few easy fixes (all it requires is replication and graphics colors) Add varied terrain like mountains, increase factions, increase the size of the campaign map OR simply make individual continents (Africa, Asia, America, South, etc). You guys would make so muchore.money if you simply expanded the levels. Update: awesome job creating a great game on hobby time. If you came out with a 'fuller' version I would be one of the first to buy/expand it.

Im addicted to this game. I like the create your own scenario thing, it really makes things more fun. Maybe some more planes or tanks, even some more unit types would be really cool. You guys did great on this, and cant wait to see what you add next.

I think this game is AWESOME. Although this is supposed to be a plane game, but it would be really cool if you had infantry. You wouldn't control them though. Lastly it would be nice if there was a little bigger campaign, like if you had other enemy plane teams, like Italy or other axis countries. P.s every time I play survival, and press retry, it doesn't work

Control just simply sucks ! You just can't control you plane after a few moments of playing. The plane fully goes out of control and it just curling around in one place on the sky ! Really annoying.. The control ruined everything

N70%
by N####:

This is a great game but I have a few suggestions: 1) Create a scoreboard at the end of a match telling what the losses were on both sides. 2)Expand the history hanger because some of the other planes included have some cool facts behind them. 3) Maybe allow more combatants to be in the arena at the same time. Overall an awesome game though.

One complaint about this game is the same for any game that is done this well. There isn't enough to do. I wad 2 ankle to blow through the missions pretty quick. Now I would do survival mode a could times a day which will hold my interest. About the planes though. I purchased a couple of the planes because fitting rockets sounded fun. But those aren't even the best in the game. The Spad is probably the best one. I don't mind that I put down the money because the game was free. Just surprised the ones you pay for aren't any better. Guess there is something to say about not having to throw down money for the best content. Just more content.

I absolutely love this game I can't wait till the next update comes out fingers crossed there will be more tanks maybe a tank with a machine gun and I would love if you could operate a flank gun but so far I'm completely obsessed and addicted! Keep up the good work

Im not sure if Im just a noob but i think the campaign is way too hard. its impossible to beat and the germans always get mass productions of troops. I beat all the levels but Ill keep this for now and see if you fix this. thx for making this btw, cuz other than that perfect game

Z70%
by Z####:

Just Amazing! Tons of fun, but I am a bit upset on two things. 1. When fighting in planes and getting shot down, I will sometimes change to being a tank when I still have other planes flying for my side. And 2. I can't find the freaking secret level. I will try beating everything on hard, but I don't think that will help...

Brilliant game! The controls are excellent and its not too difficult rack up kills to unlock the planes. I'd love to see a world war 2 version with new fighters and bombers.

Z70%
by Z####:

Although it's a great game. It has its shortcomings like the fact that there is no customization for the unlocked planes which would be cool, like flak or a really fast and weak machine gun. Which should all be free for all players. Maybe online battles. More planes and tanks to play.

N70%
by N####:

Needs a LOT more additions! More aircraft, tanks, maybe infantry, the campaign needs to be longer with a bigger sizes map featuring I don't know, the entire world, not just England and Germany. Maybe make it so after a while you get more advanced units in campaign, like it shifts into WW2 I love the strategic aspects as well as the PVE, overall, needs more units, bigger map, better progression, more enemy / Ally factions, and more units on the battle field and this could be perfect.

This is a really good app and it gives me a bit of nostalgia because I remember playing a similar game on a website a few years ago. Although one thing I suggest is in the Campaign mode you should add a "select all troops" option for moving or attacking because when I get to the final battle of the campaign mode I'm spending five minutes or more just tapping the screen to get all my troops to attack. I think you should add more tanks like the one man French FT-17 or the huge Char 2C. Keep up the good work on this wonderful game :D

by Z####:

Its a good game with great potential! Only 2 real issues, The controls are "sticky", you press left, your plane veers left until you press right, Then it will just veer right.. Also, I have to double tap(press on the screen twice) just to confirm a single move, very irritating!! Please fix, as this is a remake of a PC game, I played that as well. Good work guys.

You should add little soldiers that will spawn in little groups of five and they will have diffrent kinds of weapons like a rifle, sniper, grenadier, or even a flamer. They will march around the map like armies just destroying people! That would be Awesome!!!

I absolutely loved this game, it's concept, the graphics are breathtaking! But could you please add more levels add something more like a basic story line to the levels because there is no actual story line and there just like shooting and killing in every level.. also could you add like boss battles including the behemoth such as the Blimp, Behemoth tank and all please that would be soon great!

Z70%
by Z####:

A great game, and I really like how you can unlock planes via kills, not just money! My one problem is that after I die in Survival, I can't press any button, or even replay! Please help!

by Z####:

This game is the best game ever!!!!! And I have a suggestion Suggestion:Blimps that you have to escort on the mission and you can be a blimp with automatic guns on the side on custom scenario 2.you can be a balloon 3.add Tri-planes 4.add more tanks and 5.you can select what team you are on custom scenario)) hope you'll add these in the future and keep up the good work ???????? Edit: One more suggestion Add Zeppelins please Thanks

The game is great i have an idea why not make a world conquest map being able to control and choose all the ally and central power nations more planes tanks etc.... anyway i know you guy's are busy but if you ever release a game like that i would be so happy and probably manu more to like i said great game keep improving it

If these two developers could make this game multiplayer (not just LAN, though that would still be great) if they could do that this would be the greatest mobile game in existence

Absolutely love the game! I don't, however, enjoy the campaign mode. Overall, it is an amazing game and would be so much better with more levels, the ability to choose which side to fight for and more aircraft.

Z70%

Great game! I love it and it is so fun but only 20 levels! You need to create more levels to make me play otherwise I will get bored. Apart from that great game! Highly recommended.

Lag is atrocious and so is the amount of dead vehicles obstructing fire and even lag ( i think adding a limit to the dead vehicles on ground might help (making them dissapear) so the lag will decrease)) but still enjoyable, slight glitch where the tank motor still runs even at the menu, again still enjoyable. If you can add more vehicles even infantry and an experimental scenario where you can make your own terrain, add some buildings, trenches and such, i will be thankful overall good game 7/10

Rated graphics terrible because the screen view is so limited. I'd prefer to be able to see more than 1 second in front of me. K thnx.

by Q####:

Graphics are ace even on the awful tablet I have, addicted to it but my only complaint is the fighter-bombers bomber and the niewport 16, if u make these aircraft free then I'll give this five stars. I read some replies from u guys and for two people to make something as awesome as this then I take my hat off to u both.

Z70%
by Z####:

it is a great concept for what will most likely become a great game! but for now, it is a little bit repetitive. i don't mind that there are only 20 (plus extra level) levels since they are challenges and not a full single player campaign (also this is easy to add to). However what could be greatly expanded on is the european map. If you could add more factions and actually expand it to a works map, that would be grand. Also add units (maybe even infantry to take control of the flaks and use them against enemy planes)). Other than that you guys are in the right track, we understand that you are just two people and have jobs so no pressure ;). keep up the good work guys, hope to see more from you soon.

I think of this game as 2d rise of glory but I have a couple suggestions like game modes like destroying a base for custom scenarios and maybe multiplayer games. Oh and also when a plane dies I would like iut if instead of just bouncing on the ground it like crumpled or made a little explosion and a crater I think that would make it more realistic.

Thanks for a lovely experience, simple to access yet yields deeper tactical rock-paper-scissors-ish tactical gameplay once mixed units are introduced to the missions. (Play the campaign, if you really want to see what this game can offer!) I LOVE that bombs can fall on planes.. :) I enjoy going 1v5 with a tailgunner and minibombs, its savage. Turns into Macross instantly. My only nitpicks are the extremely exploitable Stall mechanic, shooting off-screen for cheap kills, which in all fairness is, i guess, part of the charm once you learn about them. I look forward to updates or any new titles from you both! Cheers!!

Awesome game! The only thing that i don't like about it is the fact that i think it would be sweet if there were upgrades or something. Or maybe more planes and tanks.

Z70%
by Z####:

This game is awesome, it's hard to believe that a two person group did this masterpiece. Maybe you can add more frontiers, more capitals, ability to choose side and game finish when you lose your capital for campaign mode. Also ability to play as flaks, balloons and trucks would be good. Also maybe you can add different tanks with different properties.

In a future uptdate maybe be able to ether add more fractions or be able to play as the Germans.Also when will the new update happen .Also to go on the secret level in the main menu hold the play button for about 8 secs then let go to acces it

I have found the best way to pasd time. I can tell you put alot of love into this game. I do have one suggestion, could you add planes made later on maybe in tier form, like what warthunder does. Thank you for making this game

Q70%

The only thing that would make this game even better is allowing us to play as the Germans.( Separate campaign and planes) Thank you for making this excellent game!

by F####:

Great game with huge potential. I'd love the see two things, and these would make if my favorite app: 1 please add more tanks, the normal one is quite underpowered. 2 perhaps aa guns that you can control yourself, and also a ground based gatling gun. Thanks!

by Z####:

Yes the controls are lame but I couldn't see how else you could do it. Still very fun little game.

Z70%
by Z####:

Please add German and French units and maybe American, if you could do enough research. I know you are just a team of two but it would really enhance the game. Its a great game either way. Plus in custom scenarios, when you die, a menu to a select a current unit on the battlefield would be better than just switching to a random one. Great game though.
