Luftrauser

I stumbled across this game Luftrauser from Vlambeer the other day.  Personally I think the imagery trends just a bit too much toward glorifying the 3rd Reich—and the sequel Luftrausers they’re ostensibly working on is much, much worse in that regard—but there’s no denying the gameplay is very very good.  There are some weird jags in the motion every now and then, but otherwise the planes fly super smoothly, the controls are intuitive yet interesting, and within a super limited aesthetic they create some really neat effects, like the water spray when you fly too close to the deck.  Definitely worth giving it a spin.
