How to Play Air Fighter
Air Fighter puts you in control of one spaceship set against the invading force. The published instructions cover a single input: the mouse moves your craft. Slide the pointer and the ship follows it around the play area, so all of your attention goes into where you place the ship on screen.
Your objective is to clear out the invaders threatening the galaxy. Because steering is the one control you hold, positioning is the skill the game asks for — lining your ship up with what you want to deal with, and moving away from anything you would rather not meet. The game is presented in landscape on desktop, so give the browser window room before you start.
Tips
- Use a real mouse if you can; small, steady pointer movements give you more precise ship placement than a trackpad.
- Play with the browser window maximised — the game is designed for a landscape view, so you get more of the play area in sight.
