Dr. Destructo is at it again like it's 1987! The madman with his own army and fleet threatens the Earth with unspecified evil plans! Only YOU can stop him (and forest fires). Take control of the best fighter plane on the planet and try to shoot down and sink everything Dr. Destructo throws your way in this remake of "Island of Dr. Destructo", a classic ZX Spectrum game from 80's. 21 levels and 15 types of enemies await you. Out for Android now! Also a completely free and open-source version is available for PC.

In each level, you have to destroy a ship, a castle or some other structure belonging to the evil Dr. Destructo, while evading or shooting down various aircrafts he sents after you. There is a time limit, you must complete all 21 levels in space of one week in game time (duration of a game day in real time can be set in Gameplay Settings menu), so you have to be aggressive and take risks!

Your plane has only one bomb, and your gun is no use against well-armored targets, so you can only complete your mission by dropping enemy planes on your target. Collisions with some enemies are harmless, but most of them will crash your plane. Finding which is which is a part of the game experience, just like it was in 80's :)

To sink level's target, you must destroy a specific percent of its pixels near waterline. Each falling plane destroys a small circular chunk. Level completion indicator is the red bar in lower-right corner of the screen, where level's name is displayed.

The remake features many improvements, including Casual mode, where you can continue game from any level you have already reached with the full number of days and lives. For finishing the game in one sitting in Hardcore Mode, you get a special achievement.
