    Thanks. I wanted to know how different the 60 planes are from each other.
    The article mentioned that armour, speed, weapons, etc are different for each aircraft. How different though? Is performance of one aircraft significantly different from that of another? Are aicraft that are unlocked last more powerful than the ones you unlock first or are they all on a par with each other?

    Thanks again.

    Everything!
    Hi! I thought I'd quickly answer the question myself here because it's one that keeps popping up. :)

    a) There's actually going to be 56 planes - I accidentally included 4 debug planes in the build and they're a bit mental so. *whoopsie* Hey -thats still more than 50!!

    b) The stats of the plane are not *too* dissimilar, but they sit in certain "types". So you get planes that are small and fast, but cant really turn properly, you have planes that are "average", you have big fat planes that take loads of damage, planes that stall quite easily, planes that have an "aerodynamic edge" ie they gain speed as they fly DOWN (this is cool). They also have different firing rates and different weapon types.

    c) Generally, unlocking the better planes will be harder (requiring a higher score, later levels etc)

    It's fair to say that ok, maybe they're not TOO individual, and possibly some are amusing but maybe not the greatest to drive but I hope that it will be fun just to collect them all, and to look at your stats page to see the 100%! On top of this - they're *really cute* (I've got the final art AT LAST AT 2AM THIS MORNING) and I would hope it'll bring you some joy to see them :D

    I think there may be a lot of hot games out lately (and also Halloween), so the preview I've sent is not up yet, but the game will be absolutely submitted by Nov 14th. Comments and feedback will help drive any Updates that will come through.

    Trying hard! Trying hard! Will keep going!

    Oh yes, I will hopefully sort out a proper website with new screenshots/videos once I've got the game submitted. ONE PAIR OF HANDS NOT ENOUGH RAMEN

    Hi! I'm deciding most probably on a price of £1.79 or the equivalent in US Dollars. I am T-minus roughly 1 day to submitting and I will give the Head Honchos of Touch Arcade + websites a review build for them to play with! Thank you all for being so patient!!

    >Hi MiniSquadron devs!

    Hi Mr Froggy! Its only one dev here :eek:)

    Only $3?????? You, sir, are insane. This is EASILY worth $5. If you people don't buy this at three, you are even more insabe than MiniSquadron is!
