A UCA game · free

Take the sky back. Fly low, fire first.

UCA Airforce: a desert mission with the fan gun

The game

Every feature in a few seconds - each card shows its own little animation.

Fly and fire

The land scrolls by itself, you steer. On a phone you drag anywhere - the helicopter moves with your finger, so your thumb never hides it. The main gun fires by itself.

Pulse Blaster → Plasma Repeater

Ten guns that level up

Weapon boxes in your gun’s colour add a level; another colour switches guns. Every change flips the weapon card and spins the nose pod.

Missiles and super bombs

Five kinds of missiles - straight, heavy, seeking, twin - and four bombs, from the scatter bomb to the Sunburst blast.

★★ 5 / 6Rank up

Medal stars and rank

The tougher enemies carry medal stars. Find them to climb from Cadet to Legend - 123 stars over 18 missions.

Three bosses

A war factory, a flying gunship and IRONVEIL’s fortress. Shoot off their parts one by one until the core opens.

Five regions, day and night

Desert, marsh, grassland, ice and the burnt badlands - in sunshine, sunset, rain, snow and darkness.

Supplies on the way

Repairs, spare helicopters, shields, boosts and slow time drift down the screen - crates break open when you shoot them.

Reduce flashing

Easy on the eyes

No strobing: big flashes are limited to three a second and never deep red. “Reduce flashing” softens fire and explosions even more.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The browser version is free and has no ads. The Android app will be free with ads from Google AdMob: rewarded ads only when you choose to watch one (to continue after being shot down, or for a supply drop), and a limited number of short ads between missions.

How do I play?

Phone or tablet: drag anywhere to fly; the gun fires by itself; the round buttons fire missiles and bombs; tap a weapon card to change it. Computer: arrow keys or WASD, Shift for missiles, B for bombs, Z / X / C to change weapons, Esc to pause.

Do I need an account?

No. The game makes a random install ID for statistics and messages from the developer - no name, email or password. See the privacy policy.

Is it safe for people sensitive to flashing?

Big flashes are limited to three a second and never deep red, and the game asks on first start whether to turn on “Reduce flashing”. If flashing affects you, keep that setting on.
