Tips

  • You regen when you don't use abilities/weapons
  • You go to next wave when all ships are sunk, if it doesn't advance, there is a ship somewhere
  • Enemy aircrafts are all spawned by enemy carriers

Set the skies ablaze, for freedom

Crimson Skyline is a fast-paced 2D arcade dogfighting game in which you will need to use your skill and strategy to take down waves of enemies, from nimble fighters to massive gunships.

Once the pride of their nation, the Phoenix Squadron served with honor and distinction. But when their government descended into tyranny, they refused to stand by and watch. Rising against the madness, they became a beacon of hope for the oppressed.

Though outnumbered and outgunned, these elite pilots rise from the ashes of despair. Their skills are unmatched, their determination unwavering and they will set the skies ablaze until freedom is revived.

The fate of your homeland rests in your hands.

Bugs I'm aware of

  • Weapon animations might get stuck playing infinitely
  • Starting the boss can freeze, the player sometimes appear twice
  • You might get a permanent slow mo effect after restarting (time gets halved), if so just restart/refresh the game

maybe it's just me but, i can't get past wave 2 the moving and shooting isn't really how i would like it to be, a good difficulty in terms of movement. fun game either way

The game is pretty hard but that's kinda by design. I don't want the beginning to be just a formality/boring once you get better. But I'm also considering how I can rebalance it cause it does start pretty hard atm. Maybe the second stage I add will actually be a more chill one before this one.

What did you expect for shooting? Are you playing with the missiles aircraft? This one is a lot harder than the gun aircraft and it's been reworked already (will be in next version).
