Colossatropolis: A City in Chaos
The once-thriving metropolis of Colossatropolis is now bursting at the seams. Towering skyscrapers dominate the skyline, while pollution chokes the air - and parking is a nightmare. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Colossatropolis sets its sights on neighbouring Mungola for expansion. But little do they know, Mungola isn't going down without a fight...
The Legendary F-27 "Platypus" Takes Flight
In the heart of Mungola, a single squadron of fighter planes stands as the last line of defence—the legendary F-27 "Platypus". Despite their age, these antique aircraft are the Mungolan people's last hope for freedom. Are you ready to pilot the Platypus and take on the mighty Colossatropolan battle fleet?
The original handmade shooter!
