Red Barton and The Sky Pirates

The art is the best part of this game because the controls are simple yet janky and obviously ported from a mobile/tablet game. The upgrades don't seem well thought out, and after finishing the 5 levels only about a minute long; you get to play them all again in 'night' mode, ooh yay! The whole game feels disjointed on PC, give it a miss.

Game is trash. Controlls are broken. It is split screen, but players aren't playing together or able to affect each other's game. I want my money back.

Played on Linux using Proton, Nice Graphics, awful controls with keyboard and mouse or a Game Pad, Keyboard and Mouse being really bad, mouse is only used for left button/right button (fire gun/rockets), game play was pretty bad too, almost impossible to not get hit with the awful controls, I don't recommend this Game.

Don't buy it. Even for 1 Cent. Don't play it. Even if you got it for free.If you don't believe me, not much lifetime is lost. It's over in about 20min anyways.

Don't buy this game. I'm glad I didn't. (To be clear, I didn't receive it "for free", I got the key in a bundle that wasn't humble.) The developer has taken "early retirement", they say they "tried", they "really did". I honestly wonder if anyone in their team did actually try playing this game. WHO ON EARTH thought "Yeah, THIS is FUN!" AND gave that feedback to the developers? There is no story except for some poor dialogue early on, which is just text on the screen. The character art seems to be from a number of different places: none of it matches, and "Red Barton" doesn't look anything like the Steam banner image. The leader of the Sky Pirates I think says something like "Go get 'em!" at the beginning of the first level, and then that's the sky pirates done. For gameplay, if you can call it that, there is an aiming reticule. It remains in the centre of the screen, and you have to (clunkily) guide the aircraft such that the reticule is over the enemy you want to shoot at. Handily, you can keep shooting at the enemy even when your plane is crashing. You don't have any chance of hitting any enemies until you're quite close to them. Even then, many are behind scenery objects and…
