[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/cNfj4NT_cbQ I wish I could do a sideways recommendation. Since I have to choose up or down, I'm choosing up, but this is a very mediocre wave shooter. It's quite bland. Gameplay is very basic. Content is very light. I beat the game in about 40 minutes, although there's a few alternative levels you should be able to maybe get into in a subsequent playthrough. So there's probably at least an hour of total content. However, the gameplay never evolved. There's no upgrades, no skill trees, no alternate fire, nothing but shoot your gunner and put out a fire. That's all there is to the gameplay. Shoot little red dots. When your ship gets on fire, pat out the fire with your avatar hands. Rinse and repeat. Just target priority really since your gunner can overheat & some enemies have shields. While I didn't enjoy the gameplay, I do think this gameplay must be targeted for kids for my first shooter. As such, I think I would recommend this game for kids looking for a very casual game where the shooting is mindless and repetitive and has enough challenge for kids. It also has very cute animal …8 found this helpful
Note: I played this game on Quest 2 via SteamVR for the purposes of this review. Also note that I've played a bunch of the pre-Steam versions of 'Sky Squadron', so my play time isn't indicative! 'Sky Squadron' is a delightful and completely charming rail shooter that plays like a love letter to 'StarFox'. With 'sticky' lock on and a big central joystick, hosing down enemies feels like, well, using a pressure hose, and firing the miniguns in targeted bursts is very satisfying. Levels see your aircraft flying through modular sections, destroying sections of the environment and fighting enemies that run along set flight paths. There is a huge variety of gameplay encounters within the sections, and the behaviour of the different enemy types means that the devs get a lot of mileage out of them without feeling repetitive. There's clearly a lot of very impressive tech under the hood here, which I'm sure is only starting to be fully explored in what's available to play now. The regular enemies are dynamic and satisfying to fight, but 'Sky Squadron' really shines in its dramatic, multi-stage boss battles. Bosses are huge, complex, and made from destructible parts which change the fight…4 found this helpful

I have a soft spot for good Australian-made games and this one is a banger. Buy it! It's fun, the price/content is spot on and has a lot of charm. Hope to see more of this in the future and the Trick Shot team!
Amazing game with great visuals. Looks great in VR If you have the problem that you are floating above the turret at start you have to adjust the floor when starting VR. After that I could play just fine
It's a great game that's still expanding. Devs will take direct feedback and fix it, very good team.
