ACE: Battle Over The Sea

ACE : Battle Over The Sea

Version 1.01 - 31.10.2022

A classic vertical shoot em up made by DarkGiver 

for the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam

You're piloting an unidentified strong and well armed turboprop plane with swiss colours (but who looks like a modernized F6F Hellcat...) in an alternate history world. 

You are fighting a non identified enemy on a strange endless sea... that's all for the plot actually :)

This version includes 4 missions with increasing difficulty.

To survive try to never stay static... 

Be patient and try to keep your fire power bonus for the next mission.... 

The highest score still need to be determinated...

Good Luck !!!

I hope you will enjoy it as much i enjoyed creating it (i learned so much doing it...)
