About Fractal Combat X
You fly a jet over the surface of foreign worlds and fight other aircraft in 3D. Speed is the constant, and a fight turns on whether you can break away from somebody already behind you, which is where the evasive flying earns its place.
The missions feed an upgrade path. Better aircraft and new skills come out of what you complete, so a mission that beat you once is worth returning to with more underneath you. It runs in landscape at 800 by 600, and it is marked as playable on a phone as well as a desktop.
How to play
- Fly the jet toward the mission target.
- Line up an enemy aircraft and fire.
- Break away when one gets behind you.
- Spend what the mission pays on your aircraft.

Tips
- Turning is a defence. Flying straight with somebody behind you ends a mission quickly.
- Upgrade before you retry a mission that beat you, rather than flying the same jet back into it.
