April 2025
Don't Drink And Fly ! Pretty solid little shoot'em up arcade game with simple mechanics and retro artstyle. You play as a pilot who loves vodka (he drinks it before every mission) on a mission to destroy as many enemy planes as possible. He reminds me of William "Whip" Whitaker Sr. - Denzel's character from the movie "Flight" (2012) (it's a solid movie and you should watch it). He also was an alcoholic but also a hero. Although our nameless guy only drinks vodka - it is his ultimate POWER-UP ! But back to the game : it's a fun and addicting game (sometimes you want to go back immediately after being killed) + kinda strenuous as you progress through the levels. As usual in these types of games there are different power-ups for the guns and for your plane + health packages. There is also a Vodka Power-Up which doesn't do anything useful (your screen shakes and that's it). Missed opportunity ? Most definitely ! This game has an amazing (IMO) OST. It's just THAT good ! At first i wasn't quite sure about it (i thought that it didn't belong in this type of game) but it grew on me pretty quickly and i loved it completely. Sound design in general is quite good considering how cheap this game is. Controls are responsible and non-glitchy (played on m+keyboard). There are 9 achievements in total and they are pretty easy : destroy x planes , upgrade power/ratio/weapon , score x points. Easy-peasy and nothing to worry about (and they are all working just fine). Probably the only thing that i didn't like is how slow you gain points. Yes , there is a multiplier but you need to destroy every plane on the screen to keep it on max x9 level. To score a great amount of points you need to fly all the way and after some time the game gets kinda boring but not super boring. More variety would've been nice. P,S, Don't Be An Alcoholic ! Nobody LIkes Them !

Great price for what it is. Has a simple but entertaining retro vibe. Strangely addictive game. Although the game is quite easy, it still maintains some level of difficulty as you progress. Would recommend.

If the trailer looks good to you, you’ll probably enjoy this game. It’s a straightforward shoot 'em up with power-ups, increasing enemy spawns, and a shrinking play area that adds some challenge. It’s an easy game for achievements and fun to relax with for a few hours, especially with some music in the background. That said, it’s a bit too simple for my taste and doesn’t have a ton of replayability. Definitely grab it on sale!

If the trailer appeals to you you'll probably like this simple shoot em up game, there's power-ups for your weapons and more planes spawn over time and the playing field will narrow making it more difficult. Definitely an easy game for achievements, a little simple for my taste but the game play is fun enough for a few hours to relax with some music shooting down enemy planes. Get it on sale for sure, not a colossal amount of replayability.
