You take the role of a pilot in WWII codenamed 'Blue Dragon'. You have just returned home from a successful raid and have to cross enemy territory to get back to your ship and return home.

You can collect points by destroying enemy planes, tanks, boats and soldiers on your trip back to your ship. You can collect bonus points by landing your plane on the deck of your ship... which is harder than it sounds! If you overshoot or miss the ship you must eject or you will miss your ride home!

Controls

Left Mouse Button- Increase Altitude (Let go to decrease)
Right Mouse Button - Shoot

Up/Down Arrow - Raise/Lower Landing Wheel
Enter - Eject From Plane
Space - Drop Bomb

With each level that goes by your minimum speed will increase, making targeting difficult.

**Please refer to the readme for more info**

Blue Dragon also comes with an online highscore system for that extra bit of fun!

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did making it! Special thanks to Noodle, Hagartech and Jon - Smegsoft for beta testing.

bastard! this is almost the same as the game i was making. only I made less cartoony gfx. I h8 you.

Posted by Steve Harris

5th December, 2003

1. Yes I bought the gfx from Kris at Game Warlords and he's even credited in the game... This is because I can't draw to save my life. 2. Yes there's one level that gets faster and faster, this is meant to be an arcade game hence the repetetiveness 3. Pardon Me Mr. Three: what error are you getting?

Nice Gfx, gameplay is good but painstakingly difficult at times. Very frustrating to play.

Nice, graphics and how you've used them are perfect. I especially like the little details when you get to the water. Could not land though :) A challenging game. The only things I could think of to improve this game further would be to: 1) Make some difficulty settings - easier = more responsive for climb/descending and less harsh gravity, normal = how it is now 2) Make some extra levels and use settings from other areas. Having a larger world to explorer in this way would give this game extra longlivity. 3) Make a screencam video showing how to land :) Top game though.

Reviewed - it's good for a while, but the repetitivity tarnishes it.

WOW! Good use of my graphics! Excellent job, nice to see them put to good use. Pay no attention to the other Kris lol he is an IMPOSTER! O_o j/k

"Its a plane from WWII its small and not very robust... wtf do you think is going to happen when it hits a flagpole... dumbass" well, dumbass, this is not a very realistic game to begin with. so, why must you be asinine in the game design? i would assume that the flagpole would be off to the side, not in the fucking runway.

If I didn't have to use the mouse for control then this would be really good

6th December, 2003

Thanks Kristofor :) Oh and thanks to WCB too for the review, pretty fair imo... i'll consider making it into a full game. Never noticed the error with the logo though :(

Good coding, but way too fricking hard. I'm an impatient person, so I couldn't keep playing. I would recommend making the plane a bit easier to control up and down, but it's your game.

Posted by Steve Harris

This game is "EVIL" I managed to beat Level 10 and had a score of 12.000+ and when it got me to the next level,there was no plane nothing at all,the game just stuck there with a tank in the middle..... You should fix this!And make it continue the levels,same difficulty as level 10(level11,12,13....level 100) Its a VERY VERY easy game when you find out how to pass it by,i could keep playing and get 100.000points but...the game has only 10 Levels in which you are obligated to crash otherwise it will not continue if you win level 10 and furthermore LOSE your Score! Way to play it:Always fly at FULL SPEED,always fly above close to the screen limit above,always fire and watch out for the 1 and only plane that's threatening your high position(which comes after the first POLE...) and then throw all your bombs! When you get close to the Carrier don't bother landing,just hit ENTER ENTER after the "LAND HERE" signal to eject!

7th December, 2003

damn another bug... thanks AfterStar

Posted by AfterStar

7th December, 2003

Another...well maybe not a bug but is that you can submit the same highscore over and over...! For instance i got a score of 10700 and i could just click twice(which i did) to add twice my highscore =)!You should fix this by adding an event "When (in score frame)sumbit button is pressed return to main frame! "

"The game doesn't say what country you are fighting for/against" sure, but the nazi emblems on tanks and the english flag on the landing craft are SOMETHING of a giveaway ;)
