Ready for take-off

Fly anywhere around the little planet. Keep your speed up — slow too much and the wings stall.

Plug in more controllers to dogfight friends: shoot their wings and tail with guns and rockets, and shake off what they fire back.

Beginner: stick up climbs, down dives; left/right rolls and turns. Full maneuvering speed; release to level out. Gamepad: LB switches mode, A flies.

or press a key / gamepad A

Up to 4 pilots: each extra controller joins in split screen.

Stick back / S pulls the nose up. Stalled? Push the nose down and add power.

Holed wings pull the plane toward them and a shot-up tail drops the nose. Lose a whole wing or the tail and you're going down.

Rockets lock onto a plane just ahead of their nose. Two on the wings, one reloads every 8 seconds; two hits on a part bring a plane down. Locked on? Bank hard and pull to shake it. A rocket that misses keeps flying round the planet.

Poly Dogfight needs WebGL to draw the planet, and it isn't available here.
