Ooh, I remember that one! The music was Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. More games with the same music?
Oh yes, every airstrip has a name 😜

Fun little game from 1983 with music from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a nicely integrated with the game action.
What other old game do you think has great non-original music?

Blue Max, anyone? 😃🕹️
Revived, reimagined and ready for takeoff in your browser on Crazygames!

Right! 😃

It's a "Basic Launch", which means you need the link above to play.
Should definitely be off during normal game play IMHO. Kinda cool, but annoying.
This is the best reason for making a game 😊
Release is getting closer 😃🕹️🛫

Why are not all games Play-In-Browser?
Technologies such as WASM, WebGL, web sockets and Gamepad API are supported by all major browsers. Consider the security and convenience benefits.

Thank you all for great feedback! 🙏
For my Propspin project I decided to go with an overheat mechanism. Gun stops firing when overheated. In reality this means slower rate of fire after firing continuously for 2-3 seconds.
Still OK to be trigger happy, only a mild penalty for wasting bullets. 😄
Infinite ammo in a shooter game?
1) Player has infinite ammo, Autofire on at all times
2) Some cost involved (cooldown, limited ammo, ...), Gun fired manually
Any reasonable third option?
I like to pull the trigger myself, but at no cost it's less gratifying.

Watch out for flak and power lines on your dam buster missions!

Yes, the Atari version was the original. But I took inspiration from the C64.
My attempt to recreate the best part of 1983. 🕹️😊
Soon on Itch

What is this boss from 1981 doing in a WWI era game? Makes sense because it's a 1980s retro game? Does it have to make sense?
#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unity #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday
Sometimes, instead of a WWI era biplane, an iconic 1980s gadget will fly by. Like a Rubik's cube or a BMX bicycle. 🤭 One random fly-by in a hundred or so.

Keep a level locked until all previous levels are completed?
It is standard behavior but I'm leaning toward keeping everything open.
Are locked levels motivating or just condescending?
#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unity #madewithunity
Love it! Why is this not standard behavior for all games?
Features worse than useless
"Find References in Project" in the Unity Editor does not seem to work. It yields zero results for a texture that is definitely used in the project.
Not only is it not helpful, it makes me think I can safely delete the file. 🤔

First person camera view added!
Why? Because I wanted to defeat the Red Baron in first person. And I loved it! 😁 🎯

Silent failure. The worst kind.
I am introducing joystick and gamepad support to my Unity game. Seemed like an easy job at first.

Object pooling in a Unity project?
Good idea! Recycled bits and polygons are cheap.
There are a few things to consider before you jump into it, though.
