I used to play desert strike a lot. Good to remember.

Graphics well drawed. good gameplay. One point is that I think the enemies´s shots reach us easily, it´s really hard to escape from them. 

I liked. Good job!

Thanks! Did you use the strafe function (hold shift + left/right)? This makes it much easier to dodge shots. I've added a note about this on the game page as a few people have missed this feature.

Yes, I did....but even this way I died several times easily...haha

Developer

Hi, hold down shift to strafe side to side, this will help you dodge the shots better.

I surely haven't heard the "desert strike" name in a few decades.

But from the title I was expecting a game about desserts instead of deserts :-p

Developer

I used that to lure people into playing the game, I mean, who doesn't like desserts, right?!
