hi everyone,

i don't speak very well english because i live in switzerland and i'm 15. yesterday i upload my game to apple. i think in 7 days it will be available on the app store in 2 versions: "Catch the Airplanes" and "Catch the Airplanes HD". Here are a few information:

APP STORE DESCRIPTION:

Gameplay Video:

This is a funny game that will keep you busy for many hours in front of your i-device! Your mission will be to destroy the largest number of airplanes that appear from the screen edges trying to survive as long as possible. The elaborate graphics allow you to choose your favorite background out of three: sky, lawn or sea.
There are three game modes you can select:

-MULTIPLAYER MODE: This game mode works only on iPad. Two players are playing at the same time. The first player will have to shoot only at blue and green airplanes, whereas the second player will have to bring down the yellow and red ones only. The winner is the player who strikes more aircrafts within 90 seconds.

-SURVIVAL MODE: Your mission is to destroy all the airplanes that appear from the screen edges without missing any of them, otherwise you lose. You can chose the difficulty level (easy, medium or difficult)

-TIMER MODE: In this game mode your mission is to destroy as many airplanes as possible within a certain time span (60 seconds, 90 seconds or 120 seconds).

Your score results will constantly be saved and updated in the main menu, and you can check them at any moment.

FEATURES:

three completely different game modes
multiplayer mode: two players on one iPad (for iPad only)
continuous updating of the score results
real looking explosion of the airplane
realistic sound effects
funny soundtrack
fireworks at every new score

Thanks to all for feedback

    Is this your first game? if so , very nice work!
    Are there any "BAD" airplanes the player should avoid? if there are then thats great , if not , i definitely think you should add those , maybe to the next update.. it can really spice up the game play ;)

    Good luck!

    @patapple cool :) Yes, all those graphics are done by me..but now i'm much better with graphics and artwork. I've made those graphics, when i started to test a few programs..All graphics in my first game are pixel-graphics. Now i'm only working with vector-graphics :)
    And you? Is your artwork made by yourself and with witch program?!

    I really like it!!!!
    Does it have different speed planes? Or different sizes?
    Or change directions? Just ideas if not already in the game..

    BEST of luck in your sales!

    @LudwigHeijden Yes, ticino, near Bellinzona! Thanks for the feedback

    @Steverd Yes, every airplane goes with a random speed between 250 and 300 but i think i will to improve that! They are not different sizes but in the next update i will add more airplanes and more differences between them! Every airplane has a random initial position and a random final position! Thanks for the feedback

    nice game!

    some good updates to include:

    'bad' airplanes as @P-O-M said
    'smaller / bigger' airplanes
    'military' planes that require more touches to destroy
    faster / slower airplanes - maybe have small fast jets that require 1 hit to explore at speed 400, but large slow jets at 140 that require 10 hits to explode
