Airstrike Screenshot 2d dogfight game

Airstrike is a 2d dogfight game in the tradition of 'Biplanes' on Intellivision and 'BIP' on the Amiga. You control a WWI biplane and try to shoot you opponent(s) to tiny bits. The game is a work in progress, but it's already a lot of fun. I post it here since I require some help in finshing the game and making it more fun to play. Multiplayer (LAN) is in the works.

License: free

Additional System Requirements: Uses SDL. "Console" support via aalib.

Sound: Play in X: Play in Console: Multiplayer: Network Play: 3D Acceleration: Source Available:

The red baron has unlimited bombs in dogfights. This is so unfair. Otherwise fairly entertaining.

In the best tradition of Sopwith. I really like it, there is a bug causing the Red Baron to have an infinte amount of bombs... The AI should be a bout better...

And now I'm here to tell you that I'm waiting for a new playable release with joysticksupport. By the way I have 4 gamepads/joysticks working. So you could even increase the number of players and it would be great if I could enter js2 and js3 in the configuration without having to use js0. I like it if everyone has the same hardware but js0 is my analog gameport joystick and not always the best choice. *waiting4averyaddictivegame*

Quite possibly too much fun. I'm going go waste a lot of time on this, I can tell. The AI doesn't drop bombs, but other than that, this is awesome! Maybe some more intuitive controls, because the rotation/acceleration thing feels really strange when gravity is taken into account. Also, more weapons! Machine guns, lasers, homing missles, etc. I know they don't fit the biplane scheme very well, but I think it would be great anyways.

what would be great: a horizontally scrolling screen like in "sopwith", and battle tanks shooting, you have to bomb them. you'd also have to bomb some other things (take a look at the old dos game sopwith. it had crappy graphics compared to airstrike, but the scrolling screen and the extra action added extra fun

This is planned. We just want to have a working single-screen game running first. (Not that is is harder to do larger levels, but it's best to keep it simple in the beginning.)

Great game; haven't played anything like it. The AI needs to be able to drop bombs and network play would be great.
