Warning: this addict you very much!!

The Good
The style and the controls is very easy, it is only shooting. Just press space the whole time and with the arrows you can aim. You must shoot on para's who jumping out of airplanes and it is also possible to shoot those planes. When there are five or ore para's landed on one side, it is game over. There are three different kinds of bullets. The graphics are very poor, but it looks sweet to me. This game kept me hours of playing and I still like it.

The Bad
the only thing what isn't really perfect is the sound, but what will you expect of such a little game.

The Bottom Line
If you looking for a game wich is very easy to play this is the one.

Fun fun game.

The Good
The interesting way of scoring points. You lose a point for every shot you take so that you can't rapidly fire and rack up the points.

The Bad
Sometimes the scoring system would be annoying. I wish that it had an options menu to change preferences like that.

The Bottom Line
The choppers drop paratroopers to the ground. If too many land on the ground they will place a bomb in your gun and blow it up. You have to shoot the choppers and the paratroopers or their parachutes.
