See how to push the limits of your PocketPC to the maximum. 8 amazingly pixeled environments, tons of enemies to shoot and good old Earth to save. Try it, you won't be dissapointed."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/screens_anim.gif" /><br /><br />I hadn't played this game until today, but it's awesome! Excellent graphics, smooth gameply on my X30, and cool audio effects. You can pick between three different figher planes: the fast but lightly armoured plane, the well-balanced plane, and the slow but heavily armoured plane. There's an auto fire feature, which I like because it saves the button mashing wear and tear on the Pocket PC, and you can also control the plane with your stylus. The <a href="http://www.pocketgear.com/downloads.asp?product_id=14651&prodname=SKY%20FORCE%201.1a">demo</a> only works for two minutes, but it was enough for me to get a taste of this shoot 'em up. The game is only $9.95, and if you use the coupon code <b>edrv91324</b>, you can save another 20%.

Love this game, been playing the demo for a couple months. Very satisfying and the sounds are awesome with headphones

Looks like time to play the real full version!

Indeed, thatīs a really great game, but: I hate starting it again and again with low power weapons.

Hey, this is a state-of-the-art shooter game, so there must be some cheats to start with full weapon power from the beginning. Any ideas?

I love these kind of vertical (horizontal is cool too) scrolling shootem-ups, but I hate the joypad on my 2215. I find trying to play games with it too frustrating. So I generally stay away from games that are meant to be played with the joypad.

On the other hand, my Casio E100 has an awesome joypad. I remember playing Doom on it without control problems.

I just tried to purchase but it would not give me the option to enter the second 20% coupon code. Anyone else had any luck with this?

You generally can't stack 'em at Handango, sorry! :?

I just logged on to this forum to correct this it does not push the limits of any recent Pocket PC device, I play this game smooth on my SonyEricsson P900 so you can't say it pushes your hardware to the limits.

Does it has a 'jump to level' or 'save' feature ?
I have been playing a similar game called odyssey for quite sometimes, and one thing that really bothers me is the fact that I have to start every game from scratch. I cannot start a game and immediately jump to the higher levels.

The links go to Pocket Gear not Handango so this appears to be a coupon for Pocket Gear.

The game is only $9.95, and if you use the coupon code edrv91324, you can save another 20%.

In the post by Jason it reads as though it is $9.95 and if you use the coupon code you can get another 20% of the $9.99. Maybe Jason could just clarify this as I would definitely buy this game with a further 20% off.

Thanks

Paul.

Maximus, you always have to start from the beginning, thereīs no official "Jump-To-Level" feature. The same thing is bugging me, thatīs why I asked for some cheats, but nobody seem to know if there are some.

My bad.

Yeah, just a misunderstanding. Looks like the game is $9.95 and you take 20% off to make it around $8.

Sorry I wasn't clear - the URL actually has the coupon code embedded in it, so it SHOULD pick up on the coupon automatically. The final price of the game is around $8 USD.

What a shame. Odyssey was such an entertaining game, but I think I can go through the first 3 levels of odyssey with a blindfold by now :p :mrgreen:

A really great game would have allowed player to jump directly to any levels that he/she wants to play, given of course he/she has reached that level in the past.

Iīve finnished the hard-skills mode yesterday. I hoped that I can chosse
a super power-sky-force-plane now that Iīve made it through all levels, but...nope. Nothing. Nada.

&lt;&lt;is some kind of dissapointed
