Air Rage (Shoot'em'up) by Taras Young Coded for the 15 days Coding Competition was this little one-shot shootemup where you fly a Boeing 737 that has been armed to the teeth with weapons and are pursued by government jets intent on taking you down. The graphics are good with a cartoony style and it all scrolls rather nicely and you can shoot off loads of ammo in rapid succession, demolishing houses and blasting planes. However you only get one life, so as easy as it sounds, you better not get hit by anything or it's game over. The stats screen at the end shows how many houses and jets you've downed in your rampage, but unfortunately isn't too accurate, as several hits of the same target will rack up multiple kills and increase your score. You are also presented with a rating, which add's to the dark humour of the story, and it's all pretty tongue in cheek. Nice little touches are included like the Altimeter, and Rage meter and it all makes up a pretty nice looking game. The downsides are that there is no high-score saving and sound is non-existant. Good fun for a little while, and great novelty value, but would need more work done to be taken seriously as a full game. Download Air Rage from GP32x.de Download Air Rage from PDRoms.de
