1945

1945: It is a world at war! Pilot a Lockheed P-38 Lightning and rain death upon your enemies!

1945 is a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up, inspired by the Capcom 19xx arcade games. Avoid enemy fire (and the planes themselves!) and aim to be the ace of the sky.

The high scores table in this game is a global leaderboard, using a GET request to connect to a PHP endpoint, which then connects to a MySQL database. If for whatever reason the global leaderboards are unavailable, it falls back to a local leaderboard.

I have the source code for 1945 available for perusal as a Bitbucket repository.
