Sky Pilot is a bright, cartoon-style vertical shooter over a sunny sea full of islands. Your plane fires on its own, so you can focus on weaving between enemy bullets while squadrons, divers, gunboats and blimps attack in waves. Catch power-ups for a wide spread shot, a piercing laser, a protective shield or extra screen-clearing bombs. Every five waves a giant flying fortress shows up for a boss fight.
How to play
- Move your plane around the screen; it fires automatically.
- Dodge enemy bullets and planes.
- Collect power-ups: Spread, Laser, Shield and Bomb.
- Pick up the same weapon again to power it up to level 3.
- Drop a bomb to clear all bullets on screen in an emergency.
- Beat the boss that arrives every fifth wave.
Controls
- Computer
- Arrow keys or WASD to fly, B, X or Space to drop a bomb. Esc or P pauses.
- Phone and tablet
- Drag anywhere on the screen to fly and tap the bomb button at the bottom right.
Tips
- The laser melts big targets fast, the spread shot is best against swarms.
- Stay low on the screen to have more time to react to bullets.
- Keep a bomb for boss fights.
Questions
- How many lives do I have?
- You start with three lives. A shield absorbs one hit without losing a life.
- When do bosses appear?
- A boss shows up every five waves, and each one is tougher than the last.
