## Description

A classic fast-paced line drawing game. Use your finger to plot flight paths for you squadron of A.C.E.S. and clear the skies of enemy planes! 

* The game features three challenging missions, powerful airplanes to unlock, and boss battles!

* Use your Game Center account to participate in global leaderboards and compare scores with your friends.

Start your propellers, Ladies and Gentlemen, and take control of the skies!
 

---------- HINTS ----------

- Double tap your planes for a short speed boost! 

- End a flight path right on the tail of an enemy plane to follow that plane. Your own fighter will then try to close in and get in a good firing position. Watch your angle, though! Your pilot can't lock on a target if you don't approach it from behind!

- You can deploy newly unlocked planes in the profile screen. You always start a stage with Spades and Diamonds. Clubs and Hearts will join the fray after a while.

## Review summary

Players praise A.C.E.S. for unlocking new planes, addictive and polished gameplay, and a Flight Control–style setup with strategic depth from varied aircraft. The free value and quick sessions are also noted. However, the game is hindered by a harsh rule where losing a single plane ends the match, which many find unforgiving. Technical issues recur, including glitches and crashes, and some players report finicky lock-on/controls as the screen fills with enemies. Despite these downsides, the core mechanics show strong potential for fans of tactical arcade dogfights.

### Pros

- Unlocking new planes and progression as you play.
- Fun, addictive, and polished gameplay.
- Flight Control–style concept with guns provides a strong, familiar arcade experience.
- Different planes with distinct attributes add strategic depth.
- Free-to-play value or very affordable option.

### Cons

- One plane death ends the entire game, making progression unforgiving and frustrating.
