iPhone
Soar through seven Gulf cities in a retro arcade shmup. Bosses, elites, kamikaze divers, and a full Arabic experience. Free to play.
Gulf War is a vertical-scrolling arcade shooter (shmup) inspired by classics like Galaga and Sky Force. You pilot a fighter jet through seven visually distinct levels across the Arabian Gulf — Doha, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Dubai, and the Final Stronghold.
CAMPAIGN
— Seven cities, seven bosses. Each level has a unique enemy mix, a signature mechanical identity, and a boss with its own attack signature.
— Casual-to-arcade difficulty curve: Doha eases you in, Final Stronghold pushes you to the edge.
— Elite mini-bosses appear mid-level from Oman onwards.
ENEMIES
Eight enemy types: basic drones, fighter jets, heavy cruisers, kamikaze divers, zigzagging interceptors, stationary snipers, flanking turret gunners, and elite mini-bosses.
BOSS ATTACKS
Six bullet patterns including aimed, radial, spiral, stream, heavy shot, and sinusoidal wave. Late bosses teleport between positions and summon reinforcements.
PROGRESSION
— Collect coins to unlock new aircraft and upgrade your weapons (machine gun, spread shot, homing missiles, laser).
— Three star-rating system per level: complete, hit a score threshold, and finish without taking damage.
— Leaderboards and achievements via Apple Game Center.
BILINGUAL
Full Arabic and English support. The entire UI flips to right-to-left and uses Modern Standard Arabic.
FREE TO PLAY
Free to download with optional ads and in-app purchases. Every level is reachable without spending. Remove ads or unlock everything with Premium.
