Aero Attack: Retro Space Shooter

About

Pilot Bob’s spaceship through waves of floating enemies, alien bosses, and rogue satellites in this fast-paced arcade shooter. Players balance shooting waves of attackers with precise dodges to avoid collisions, all while chasing high scores. The retro pixel art and chiptune soundtrack lean heavily into 8-bit nostalgia, but the gameplay leans modern with smooth controls and escalating difficulty. Space cows and surreal level designs add oddball charm to the relentless action. Aero Attack stands out for its tight mechanics and unapologetic difficulty, demanding both reflexes and strategy. As quasiStudio’s first project, it showcases a clear passion for retro gaming, with every enemy pattern and power-up feeling like a love letter to classic shooters. Available on multiple platforms since 2019, it’s a short but punchy experience that lingers longer than its runtime suggests.

Storyline

Aero Attack is a retro shooter arcade game for iOS and Android where you play as a pilot named Bob, tasked to defend the human race from various aerial minions. Fly Bob and his shooting plane through space, dodge the floating minions, alien bosses, satellites, and a couple of space cows. What makes it unique is the challenge of shooting the incoming minions, while keeping that nerve-wracking flappy style jump when avoiding them. Aero Attack is an addictive game of discipline and skill, looking to make people feel nostalgic and sentimental, remembering the retro games everyone loved spending time on and emotions they stirred in us. Aero Attack is quasiStudio's debut game. By the end of 2018, studio's co-founder Kresimir Tavas finalized the artwork designs, which his partner Renato Stanic swiftly turned into a 2D casual mobile game using the Unity game engine. Aero Attack was released for iPhone and iPad on February 25, 2019, and Android on February 20, 2019.
