There have been many plane games to grace our iPhones over the lifetime of the app store. But there have been very few that have gotten it right and in fact most of them made us so dizzy or frustrated that we thought we'd never see a good one. MiniSquadron, although not a flight simulator, is a game that is both well-made and controls like a charm. It's a game created for the casual gamer and has a very obvious light-hearted theme. The music is classical as you shoot down ducks, UFOs, choppers and planes.
What struck me as interesting is the game is truly entertaining. Powerups fall from the sky and different planes fire different types of ammo. There was enough variety to keep the game interesting and it almost always kept me trying to beat the next wave. The developers seem to keep updating the game with newer features and perfecting the game, so I would expect this one to be sticking around for a while.
If you are looking for a challenging game that is happy, and easy to play while waiting for something, look into Mini Squadron. It has great controls and an addicting gameplay that is hard to find in most games. For the price it was at while I was reviewing it, it is definitely worth the purchase. Check it out.
