A mighty (blocky) river

The Atari 2600 had thousands of games, one of the best of which was Activision’s classic River Raid. Tangogames.co’s Air Fox on iOS is an unabashed near carbon copy of the shooter.

Shown in true blocky graphics fashion, Air Fox is a jet fighter’s trip up a hostile river. The defending army has ships, helicopters, and other vehicles, but your bullets can easily take them out.

The challenge is that your low fuel must be recharged. Accidently blow up one of the fuel silos and you will almost certainly crash.

Air Fox uses tilt controls, which makes it seem more appropriate for the iPhone. Air Fox HD is also available for the iPad, if you’d like, ahem, bigger blocks. Both versions have lite editions to try before you buy.

Air Fox is out now for 59p / 99c / €0.79.
