I think I might score this some day. There was some speculation as to whether it would actually show up or not though. I'm glad to see it here in any case.
Yes! This game seems like so much fun!
Hmmm, I love Vlambeer's games. It seems interesting.
Good game. Tried the Luftrausers prequel Luftrauser and it looks great. One question though. Are you going to provide the linux version of this game, since the developer offers native linux version drm-free ? Humblebundle stores also offers linux version off the game drm-free. Steam, Gamersgate and other webstores offer this game also on linux although with drm. In any case thanks for getting this game here..

IAmSinistar: Looks like Time Pilot for the bullet-hell set. Should be a fun one for the adrenaline junkies among us.
Hey! I can stop anytime I want.
Just tried the initial prototype demo on their website. Simple, but a lot of fun. Color me excited.

I also discovered this ridiculous... thing: the Air Raid Pack
.
WARNING: This experimental pack includes 1 DRM-free download of LUFTRAUSERS and 100 Steam keys for LUFTRAUSERS for the exorbitant price of $749.99
WTF?!?

A mix between a gag and a gaming-political statement I believe.
Is this anything like Wings of Fury? Wings was so far ahead of its time.

To tell you the truth, I haven't yet personally played this one, but--boy, do I hope it does play like Wings of Fury! :-D
This game looks pretty sick, and the older flash version is cool for getting a feel of the game mechanics :)

Not bad, but it looks like it made for Gameboy.

Judging from the screenshots and video, it totally doesn't.

There is a sort of demo on the official site as to how the game will possibly play.

Do we have any information on whether there will be optional high score table and whether it will be offline/online? If online, how is it tracked or registered since external logins and online connection can be considered a form of DRM. I ask because I've been following the game for some time on Steam since I first read about it and saw that it was going to be available on Steam. Didn't see at the time that it would be available on GOG so just wondering how this part of the game is to be handled for us here?

Any chance that the developers will release their soundtrack on GOG?
