Attention, Pilot! You are in command of a Harrier plane and your task is to destroy as many enemies as you can. Destroying each enemy gives you points. Try to get as many points as possible.

Note: Controls and development roadmap can be found in-game and below in this description.

Description:

This is a remake, or better said, game inspired by an old game from microcomputer times (Commodore, Amstrad, ZX Spectrum etc...).

I know there is a long way before this game will be enjoyable, but I'm doing my best :) any support/critique in comments is highly appreciated :)

Developer notes:

Features I intend to implement may change or be replaced along implementation, so treat this as a declaration, not promise.
