Great little game. It might be a mobile port, but as long as it's enjoyable to play, and this is definitely the case, I don't care ;)

Been playing for 4 hours, made it to level 16 of 25 (unless there are some bonus levels after that) with (so far) all gold medals and all bonuses (dog tags to find, scattered around the levels). I'm using an xbox360 controller, and that works perfectly (I did not even try with keyboard).

I remained on easy mode for flying (I think pro mode just brings frustration, not what I'm after), and auto fire, though manual fire could be useful on some levels (come to think of it, I don't think I'm able to change that in the options ... so far at least).

The overall feeling of flying is quite good for such a game imho, the levels have been interesting up to now, and the achievements are very doable, for the most part. Only complaint I have : the dog tags bonuses are really difficult to spot sometimes, leading to some wandering around the maps for quite some time, to find the damn last one ;)

The price is right, the game is enjoyable, there are trading cards and achievements : this game is totally recomended, even if it's only 10 hours long or so (I'll know exactly later ...)

UPDATE : game finished in a little more than 7 hours. The last level is a real challenge, don't expect a medal with autofire on (and to clarify, this means you'll have to play this one on keyboard + mouse, controller unplugged, the option to turn off autofire is not available otherwise). So, maybe a bit on the short side, but still very much recommended :)
