After all the fighter jets, attack helicopters, and armoured tanks, comes a refreshing change with Aero Rumble. Using a combination of keyboard and mouse controls, the game is mediocre and just about made it on to our site, but for some your hands can be glued to your machine for a nice long time.
The game begins easy and gets harder as you move along. The enemies need more shots to be destroyed as levels progress, but no new enemies appeared for as long as I could survive, just increased numbers and strength. The enemies are weird, too. There’s floating landmines, ground units, and the best of all, these huge ancient flying birds that look like Teradactals with giant heads. You also need to collect health, bombs, and points that float amongst the chaos. The health power-ups are few and far between, so try not to miss one.
Besides that, the GUI is beautiful. Aero Rumble really gets you into the whole medieval sci-fi space and does it well. The use of colours and backgrounds couldn’t be better. The soundtrack could have been better. The current one doesn’t really inspire action. I have one major complaint, though. Once your state-of-the-art balloon crashes, you’re back to square one. There’s no saving your progress. Hell, there’s no level numbers either! You just play till you fall out of the sky, and then start all over again.
The game is tons of fun, nonetheless. The sheer pace of the game combined with beautiful graphics makes up for some of its shortcomings. I played for 2 hours straight the first time I laid my hands on Aero Rumble. Guess it’s your turn now. Rumble on!

Air Transporter
It's not everyday that a game as interesting and fun as this one comes up. But then again, interesting and fun doesn't mean it's going to be a pleasurable experience. Welcome to Air Transporter, the game that almost made me rip my hair right out of their roots.
The game is simple. Complete lifting tasks with your helicopter and move on to the next level. Well, at least the game sounds simple. Wait till you play. Right from putting out fires to blowing up electric boxes that supply spotlights you need to avoid, this game will never feel mundane.
The game begins easy, mainly to get you accustomed to the controls and physics of the helicopter. But nothing, and I'm serious when I say nothing, will prepare you for the mayhem that ensues level 8 onwards.
The GUI is simply beautiful, elegant, and very user friendly. The game art is really good, too. There's a nice use of colours and an easily decipherable layout. There's a choice of controls between the mouse and the keyboard, and both offer very different dynamics. I suggest you try both to see what suits you best.
Also, there's certain common keyboard controls for the ropes. Practice using the ropes individually well enough before tackling the more difficult time-bound levels.
Overall, the game is a smashing success in terms of what it claims to be. Everything is perfect, except the difficulty level. I'm sorry I can't stop cribbing about that. My scalp still hurts from all the hair pulling.
So strap yourself into the amazing physics of Air Transporter and brace yourself for 18 levels of transporting fun! Good luck, pilot!

Flight
Long time ago there was a game where you could fling a paper rocket, wasn't much so it never featured on the blog full of games. But today we have one with well achievements and upgrades, thats not the only thing that makes it a quality game.
Flight takes you through a story that, well didn't bother making sense of, but what you need to do is pick up the rocket and fling it. In higher levels you can control it to a certain extent with the arrow keys and also get an engine upgrade to boost your takeoff or flight or whatever you choose.
During the course of flight you can collect stars and hit some paper cranes for bonuses, also a bunch of windmills that give you bonus flight! Sounds like fun? Team it up with a wide range of upgrades and achievements to unlock, flight takes you through a good amount of fun time.
You need to cover certain distances to progress through the game, time for your flight!

SteamBirds
I wanted to put this game up as soon as I played it, perhaps a few weeks ago. But it was not yet available for distribution, I personally feel that its a stupid thing that big sites do, keep the game locked up for a while till the buzz dies out perhaps?
Anyway lets talk about SteamBirds, it falls in the flying category, but it could have also been in the strategy section. You plan out your moves and then hit the execute button and check how the enemy responds, plan out your next move and execute them and of course your main aim is to destroy the enemies.
You start off as a plane that is called Bristol, which was a plane that existed in the first world war. Your plane shoots automatically when its in range, although there are certain moves apart from being able to plot the flight part, you can choose if you would like your shield on this turn or zoom ahead at double the speed.
Sounds like fun, to be honest its awesome, not the stars that you get at the end of the game, but the variety of enemies and moves you can deploy as you progress is awesome. You have a range of bombers, smokers, blimps, hot air balloons and more, making this game interesting from the first to the last level.
The sad part is that the lack of too many level, another short game, only 15 levels excluding the tutorial, the levels end pretty quickly and perhaps thats why it seems short. But SteamBirds is gonna make your time fly.

HeliCops
Take to the skies in another helicopter action top down shooter, funny thing is it seems your defending your city but the buildings seem to have turrets and men with bazookas trying to take you down.
The game play is fun especially the controls, WASD enables you to move in compass directions while the left and right arrow key allow you to turn. The top arrow key allows you to shoot and shift cycles through weapons, though I personally would have preferred the number keys for the weapons but its cool, space or EMP allows you to freeze time, strange not exactly what EMP really does.
The game play is extremely easy, yes this game is easy, I managed to take on the boss and lost only 1 health with a turret shot, finished the game without maxing out health, emp and flame thrower so it could have been made a couple of notches tougher but definitely is worth a go.
The quirks in between levels are funny, though I wish the guys at Armor games had spent more time making the game with more levels and putting in some more elements like perhaps tanks on the streets or something to make the game last a little longer. But overall it sure is a fun game, time to fly!

Skylocopter 2
There is a comment on the original Skylocopter saying, that was an easy game, why did the developers even bother making it! Funny thing is that the developers have even come up with the second version of this game and well its a tad bit tougher than the first version but beatable in one single go!
The basics of the game is the same, make your way to the key to unlock the exit, avoid the bombs, drop bombs, get to the next level and upgrade your chopper! So whats new apart from the level, the game has inched a few notches in terms of difficulty, there are levels where you have fly through thin corridors to get to the key.
Although controlling the helicopter is easy, when you max out speed its difficult to do so. Apart from these things the game is virtually the same and lacks tough levels, it actually lacks levels itself and can be completed in under 15 minutes, well I do hope you enjoy it while it lasts though!

Heli Assault
Its been a while since we had a flying game up, well this game does not suck but neither is it unique. If you played Sky Chopper this one is just the same, well not really just the same but honestly quite similar.
Except the concept of the game is different, in Heli Assault you have to take down a target chopper that keeps eluding you. You have four different weapons, though you start off with only two and then in game you have a range of power ups including a shield.
The game is fun, even though it seems quite retro styled, sometimes old is gold. A lot of incoming enemies start showing up, bombers and a very crowded flight path as you progress through levels.
Although the advanced weapons help you knock down everything in sight, keep upgrading your chopper with the money you earn and have fun assaulting your enemies!

Skylocopter
Firstly you have to be skilled to play this game, its got few levels and is rather short and can be easily completed but you need to be fast with your fingers.
Not just fast as you maneuver your little helicopter to the key that unlocks the exit you need to apply the right amount of pressure to not send your little chopper bouncing off a wall or get blown up by a bomb.
Every gem collected gets your points that you can use to upgrade your choppers speed or health, the game does not get complex in anyway and the levels are straight forward.

Hanna in a Choppa
I played Hanna in a Choppa a long time ago, it was by far one of the most fun flying games that I have played. Its not just flying and the interesting physics, every level puts you through an exciting test.
There are 21 fun filled levels not to mention the writings on the screen, interesting sounds and funny missions. The main objective is to fly the chopper using the arrow keys and land it besides the flag, in some levels there are bonus objectives that you can attempt.
The game automatically saves your progress on the computer so you can continue playing when you like. Can you guide Hanna through all these levels?

Frantic
If you enjoyed playing Raiden X, you will love this one, the involving and precise game play makes up for the lack of luster that Frantic comes with.
The game has the usual upgrades but a new way of earning them, you can buy cards that add on benefits to your vessel, like wing men, heavier shields, increased damage etc.
The retro style of this game, including the sounds somehow bring back fond memories of the good ol 16 bit and 32 bit.
The bosses at the end of each level have unique weapons and unique ways to escape them, the game breaks up into a whole lot of color at times and this makes it quite beautiful.
Frantic, is a definitely fast paced and you need to have a good amount of skill to maneuver through the incoming missiles especially during the boss rounds.
The more coins you collect you build up a special power mode its good to build it up to max and use it when the boss comes.

Blueshift
Alright so here we go another fantastic game make, Diseased Production has released a new game unlike their usual style of shoot em ups like the endless zombie rampage that is good fun this game takes to the skies as you control an aircraft with various weapons.
The arsenal of weapons are nice and different although the level ups for every weapon is different which can be a pain in the wrong side. That's cause if you level up on a weapon and get another one you need to level up all over again.
Apart from that the first level was easy enough to progress with, since I have been living in my sisters house as my lousy Internet service provider does not seem to be able to provide me with any net connectivity. Her computer manages to create a lag for every flash game so progressing makes it a little difficult and annoying.
But I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this game, you can start up your shields when the enemy firing is gonna hit you, this charges your EMP. You can save an EMP attack for a boss its not so tough to knock off the bosses at least of the first level.
I am not too sure of the pace of the game as well, but Crazy Monkey claims it to be super fast, I do hope you enjoy it, Cheers!

Bump Copter 2
Bump Copter 2 is the successor of Bump Copter, I was suppose to put Bump Copter 2 up yesterday but unfortunately I ended up wasting most of my time playing it so, if you need to know how good this game is you will just have to try it yourself.
Bump Copter 2 has improved a lot from the original version, with better physics and more importantly fresh health for every level rather than just one life for all the levels where you need to start the game all over when you die.
Speaking about the physics of the game you will really enjoy it when you see how nicely the copter bounces all over when you bang it, yes it will take you a bit to get used to the controls but once your on you will figure how to make your copter stay still yes its possible.
Bump Copter 2 Instructions:
Use the arrow keys to control the copter, spacebar shoots. The important thing is to remember you can shoot as you don't require to until you pass quite a few levels. You can shoot targets to open doors, have a bumpy flight!

Black Eagle
I took command of the black eagle, loaded her up with rockets and blasted the enemies to smithereens. Now its your turn!
The interesting part, you choose the weapons you want before you go on your mission. The game is good fun, the maps are small and the missions are easy, although it may take a mission or two to get used to the controls.
You may find also find the auto locking system a tad bit buggy, but all said and done, I had some fun!
Black Eagle Controls:
Take off: Z, Directions: Arrow Keys, Primary Fire: A, Secondary Fire: S, Lock on Target: W

Sky Chopper
Sky Chopper is a rather simple game, where the objective is for you to get to the end of one level to the next.
There are a numerous amount of power ups and you can fly to the bottom of the screen to destroy the tanks, you do not crash into the buildings. I was avoiding the building for a good part of the game.
I played just two levels of it and decided to up it over here since there are hardly any flying games. If you choose to put this game on your blog, extending the height will allow you to choose the primary weapons from a drop down.

Raiden X
Raiden X Objectives:
Raidenx is the sequel to Raiden I and Raiden II, the flash game like Heli Stike requires you through various terrains and shoot down a whole lot of stuff. The best part is unlike helistrike this games has an enormous amount of power ups and different weapons.
It also allows you to save your game at the end of each of the 8 levels! Raiden X is by far the best game in its genre! "Raiden" is a japanese word which means "Fighting Thunder."
Raiden X Controls:
The controls can be seen on the settings screen, use the arrow keys for direction and the z & x keys for guns and bombs. Space pauses the game, there are three levels of difficulty, graphics and the sound can be adjusted as well.
Raiden X Cheats & Tips
5 Bombs for the Cheaters
On the title screen, select "New Game" whenever the background animation is flashing white. If you get the timing right, you'll start with 5 bombs instead of 3!
1UP Tip
In stage 3, just before you reach the open harbour, you'll see a blue box marked with a "?". Don't shoot at it (if you have homing missiles or a wide-spread gun, let go of the FIRE key). Try not to die either, or the debris of your ship may hit the box.
Wait until a nearby tank comes out of its base and runs over the box to break it. Taadaa! Out comes your free 1UP!
Invisibility Mode Tip
During the takeoff sequence after stage 5, press CTRL. A textbox at the bottom-right corner will pop out. Type in "go0gleypower" and after the animation (stage 6), you'll remain invisible for 20-30 seconds. Survival guaranteed! You'll return to normal at around the time you see the ruby (which gives you a 1UP).
