Have A Blast With Flying Games Online

By Simon Smith


Air combat, aircraft and flight itself have been popular subjects with developers and gamers alike for ages. This explains the massive range of free, high-rated, flash-based flying games online. Additionally, their controls are easy to pick up, can be played right in your browser and are a lot of fun. They are great for kids and adults alike, with bright graphics and simple-to-use construction.

The aim of most free online flash games is to provide fast, easy immersion and simple, addictive gameplay. Graphics are generally kept simple and engaging, load fast and do not put too much strain on your internet connection. Controls are generally mouse-based, use simple keyboard taps or a combination of the two. The flying variety is no exception.

There is a massive variety, including titles to suit anybody's taste - from shooting down Zeroes in World War II dogfights to performing daring loop-the-loops in daring aerial acrobatics to using cartoony talons to harass predators from a nest full of vulnerable eggs.

Strategy must be used in some titles, like the popular Overlord. In this title, you must defend an aircraft carrier from being attacked by numerous hostiles coming at it by air, land and sea. As you fly above, you must choose your route tactically and be strategic about the weapons you select in an effort to take out your enemies as effectively as you can.

If you enjoy Overlord, there are hundreds of other combat/shooting titles out there. Destroy the enemy, avoid incoming attacks and collect bonuses in Army Copter. Or try a basic, mouse-based side scroller like Hostile Skies.

Or play as an invading alien force in Saucer Strike, controlling your UFO with your mouse (clicking to fire and changing weapons with the spacebar), it is your job to destroy the cities of Earth and achieve total world domination.

If you prefer loop-the-loops to machine guns, fly between hoops in Stunt Pilot, or Stunt Pilot Trainer (the easier version), or whiz through the skies to collect gold and green balls in Jetpack Challenge.

You can not mention flight without mentioning simulators - and the range of varieties is staggering. Simulators range in level of authenticity, from real-life based controls and aircraft models to pure whimsy. In TU 95, a popular title in this genre, you have to safely navigate a plane from one airport to the next, keeping an eye on flaps, speed, gear and so on. A fun and quirky title in this category is Flight, a level-based flight and distance game where you throw a paper airplane and are scored on how far it flies, adding upgrades to make it fly farther and farther.

There is a range of silly, weird and bizarre flying games to pick from. Pretty much every creature you can imagine has been tossed into the air for a few moments of mouse-clicking fun. Flying monsters and household objects - even port-a-loos - are also frequent fliers.

So, if you are looking to soar among the clouds and have a few minutes to kill, start your browser and take off with one of the many great flying games online.
