About

Based on the aircraft available to the US and USSR during the Cuban Missile Crisis, fight for the skies over the arctic and defend your hemisphere against an all-out air assault! 

Use spy planes to seek out incoming bombers and enemy airbases. Then deploy your fighters to intercept them and escort your own bombers deep into enemy territory.

Instructions:

  • Left click and drag to select airbases
  • Use the picker in the top left to select which plane type to deploy (or use number keys 1 - 4)
  • Right-click to launch planes from selected airbase
  • Left click and drag to select planes in flight, and right click to redirect them.

I'm also working on a multiplayer version of this game and there are several directions I'm thinking about taking it: unlock experimental planes like SR-71 or XB-70 as you go? More sophisticated dogfighting mechanics? Allow designing your own planes? Add cities, factories, etc.? Speed it up to emphasize action? Slow it down to emphasize strategy? 

Let me know what you think!
