A downloadable game
The AI corruption has turned our smart weapons against us. Previously friendly killbots and death machines now rain bombs down on our own cities. A desperate search of museums and boneyards ensues, looking for anything un-intelligent to use against them. We finally find a sliver of hope with the High School Flying Club: a pair of dumb fighters and the pilots trained to fly them. Our very survival now rests in their hands.

Been playing the game quite a bit, both on the JagGD and my PC (BigPEmu) and really enjoying it. I do notice however, that it's much brighter (background) than most other Jag games and ends up hurting my eyes fairly quickly into it. I do have my tv's display settings adjusted to reduce eye soreness, but this game seems to still be too bright. It may just be me or something you may want to see if others concur with me. Again, it might just be me.
This game is absolutely amazing!!! Nice job!!! I will be showcasing it this month on my YouTube channel (Metal Mauler Gaming)! I would love to see if you further develop this because it seems marketable as a cartridge game for the Jag!
Thank you! Can't wait to watch. I'll be adding more levels and improving the mechanics here when I can (need to finish "Shape Shooter 2000" first) and then we'll see about a cart version.
Awesome! Please do us Jag owners a favor though. Release it as both a cart and rom. Some people, like myself, can't afford the prices for carts (especially since I live in Canada and have to pay large shipping prices and a duty-tax on carts coming internationally). Most hardcore fans, will buy both anyway (to play on OG hardware and BigPEmu on a PC).
