JudasIscariot: Oh very native! Just plug in, fire up the game, and fly high :D
Hot damn! I sense an impulse buy in the near future...

Favourite "wtf" build so far: Fork. Spread gun, armour, hover engine. Use the gun as propulsion and fly backwards throughout most of the round, turning fighters chasing you into scrap metal :D

I am using the Cannon, Melee, Underwater build :D Sinks those annoying battleships like nobody's business and it allows you to hide underwater without taking damage during those bullet storms. Fragile as hell build, though :D

Still on the wishlist. Perhaps if I catch a break in the near future, I'll pick this up.

IAmSinistar: Sweet! And that's native support, as I don't need to use a keymapper?

This baby's going on the list! :D

Shame they chose to price it so high. I was interested in the game on vita but at over £7 it's just not for me. A lower price would've surely netted more purchases.

Patience is a virtue :)
Just kiddin'!

Well I'm so deep into point 'n clicks such as Downfall (a must have for everyone) and Harvester, and I've been playing Triple Town -thanks to the irish promo- casually, but so far I'm enjoying Luftrausers a lot. Yep, been playin' it for the past couple of hours and all I can say is that this game is rewarding as hell!
It's some kinda mix between a great fast-paced action game and a casual shooter.
I think Vlambeer somehow mixed their favorite aspects of a 2d shooter and action games and voila, here it is.

The upgrades play a major role in Luftrausers. For me the ''gungine'' ones are hella fun; I love multiple shots and spread guns. And the sound/ost, wow, so good :D
Messing with the color palettes is also nice, reminds me of some game boy/super game boy game which I can't remember the name :)

Thanks GOG and Vlambeer for making such thing happen!

It's a fun game. I've got it for my PS Vita so that I can play it on the bus. Since you won't survive longer than a few minutes and then start again, Luftrausers is very much suited to portable gaming.
