All the player has to do is swipe towards the direction they want to go (left, right, up and down) and no matter which way you go, the plane will keep shooting. They obey completely to the finger’s movement and this is very important because avoiding the enemy fire is the only way to survive. The controls are simple and very intuitive. However, instead of trying to cross the road and avoid being hit by vehicles, in Shooty Skies you try to fly as far as possible and you have the power to destroy the obstacles, unlike Crossy Road where you’re pretty much helpless in the defence aspect. As you can guess, it is an endless game, following the route of Crossy Road, even in terms of appearance and mechanics.

I’m skipping the Plot section because in Shooty Skies, just like Crossy Road, there is not story to tell, apart from the general idea- which is that the player controls a plane driven by cute creatures and must shoot in-coming enemies while avoiding their continuous attacks. Why are shooting games so addicting? Why is it so had to resist a game that has such simple mechanisms and usually not even a real story (in app games of course) to back them up? The answer to these questions could only be summed up to a simple phrase: Because it’s fun! Honestly, before the whole smartphone boom, weren’t we all playing unstoppable the simple shooting games with spaceships that out phones provided? I think this joy is something that is hard to forget so when a good shooting game comes out, it’s hard to go unnoticed! Especially when it’s developed by people who also worked on the famous Crossy Road! So, without further ado, I present you Shooty Skies! Gameplay
