How to play Air Fighter
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move and jump |
| J / K / L | Punch, kick and block |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Air Fighter holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — fighting — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
