About A 1942 Arcade Shooter and How It Plays

The game draws on the Battle of Midway, fought over the Pacific during World War II, and retells it in classic arcade style. It belongs to a wider family of similar titles named after the years of the 1940s.

You pilot a warplane in a top-down 2D view and blast through waves of enemy aircraft. At its core the game is endless: the goal is to rack up points and beat your best score.

Controls are simple, and an auto-fire option lets you focus on dodging bullets. Points and coins you earn go toward buying better planes and upgrading different parts of your aircraft.
