TIME SQUADRON

Retro Air Combat Arcade

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Take flight through time! Battle enemy squadrons, destroy massive bosses, rescue pilots and conquer every era in this action-packed arcade shooter. Take flight through time in TIME SQUADRON — a fast, relentless arcade shooter inspired by the golden age of coin-operated games. Pilot a lone fighter across a full 360-degree battlefield as enemy squadrons attack from every direction. Keep moving, keep firing and survive long enough to face the enormous war machine waiting at the end of each era. No complicated tutorials. No slow build-up. Just immediate arcade action, responsive controls and the constant temptation to chase one more high score. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Choose the visual style that matches your favourite era of gaming: CLASSIC 2D Hand-crafted sprites, smooth scrolling and the pure overhead spin-and-shoot gameplay of an authentic 1980s arcade cabinet. MODE 7 Experience the same battles across a rolling pseudo-3D horizon, inspired by the spectacular scaling and rotation effects of the 16-bit generation. Both modes use the same carefully tuned game system, but each has its own dedicated Game Center leaderboard. BATTLE ACROSS SIX ERAS Travel through more than a century of aerial warfare: 1912 — Dawn of Flight Fight fragile biplanes and bring down a gigantic war zeppelin. 1942 — Total War Battle fighter formations protecting a heavily armoured bomber. 1972 — Rolling Thunder Face aggressive combat helicopters hunting above the jungle. 1984 — Afterburner Survive high-speed attacks from powerful supersonic jets. 2003 — First Contact Defend the skies against fast and unpredictable UFO squadrons. 2028 — The Last Stand Confront a colossal multi-stage war machine in the ultimate battle. Every era introduces different enemies, attacks, weather conditions and a unique boss encounter. THIS IS NOT THE END Defeating the final boss is only the beginning. The timeline resets into a more dangerous reality, with stronger enemies and increasingly difficult battles. Fight through five escalating realities to uncover the complete story and discover what is really happening to the timeline. Only the best pilots will survive every loop.
