About this game

Man the tail gun turret in this WWII action/arcade shooter! Use your phone's gyroscope or touchscreen to aim your guns, and touch either red button to open fire.

The tail gunner was a critical role in the crew of bombers like the B-17, B-24, B-25, and B-29.

Guns! Rack your twin .50-cals to defend your bomber against the ever-growing waves of Axis fighters.

Planes! Me-109s, FW-190s, Bf-110s, whatever the Axis can throw at you.

Lives! You only get 5. Once 5 enemy fighters make it past your defenses, it's game over for you and your flight crew.

Ammo! As in unlimited, you'll never run out! Just keep an eye on how hot your guns are; if they overheat, the enemy won't wait for them to cool down before swooping in for the kill.

This game is graphically demanding, which means it will gleefully eat your battery. Don't play if you're without a charger and waiting for that call from the hospital to let you know your new kidney has arrived.

If you're aiming using your gyroscope and it drifts out of alignment (or you want to face a different direction), just point your phone at where the "center" should be and hit the Align button at bottom left.

Works with the Arkade Blaster: http://www.arkade.games

This is a fantastic game. Very enjoyable with increasing challenge as you progress. I've been playing this for years and it still keeps me coming back for more. You really need to become a master of leading your targets, and knowing when to use one or more of the other weapons in your arsenal. Great playability, graphics, music, and motion mechanics. If you want to increase the realism of the turret, play it in a chair that spins. Very light on ads and high on enjoyment! Kudos to the developer!

Definitely having a lot of fun with this game. Most mobile games usually isn't my thing but I like how this one feels like fps shooter from the arcades. There aren't too many ads and you can earn a fair amount of War Bonds by watching ads. There's only a few game modes and the gameplay can feel repetitive. Overall really good game and a fun way to past the time.

I really enjoy the many modes this game can be played. Gyroscopic play is reliable. I also like how the game can be fully enjoyed without a great financial investment. They provide a decent means to play the full version, earn enough "war Bond" money to get the complete game. Finally, unlike many of these games, the developers are listening to feedback and responding.

David, You should never lose purchased war bonds, even if you lose in a campaign or arcade game. Please contact me at info@panicensuessoftware.com so I can look into restoring your lost bonds or refunding your purchase. Thanks! -Scott
