SkySmash 1918 for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

I've always been a fan of vertical scrolling airplane games, ever since playing 1942 in the convenience store up the street as a kid. Later, when I got a Mac, I eventually discovered Wingnuts. Well SkySmash 1918 brings that same kind of gameplay to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

You pilot your plane by moving your finger around on the screen. Unfortunately if you have fat fingers, this means your plane is usually covered. You can also tap and hold, and the plane will fly to that position, although that's not really advisable. As you fly, you want to collect coins, power-ups, extra lives, etc. The graphics look terrific, and the music is fun. (although a call from the creator's of the Hogan's Heroes theme might be forthcoming, as the music is quite "similar".)

Overall, if you like this type of game, you'll really like SkySmash 1918. And it's priced right at 99 cents right now in the app store. Pick up for some weekend fun.
