Aerial War is a complete, ready-to-launch vertical shoot 'em up built in Unity 6 with URP 2D. It is not a prototype: it has a full game loop from splash screen to mission select, briefing, combat, boss fights, rewards and progression, designed and optimized for mobile.

Drag to fly, your guns fire on their own, and you choose when to launch homing missiles, trigger Burst fire or wipe the screen with an EMP. Fight through waves of fighters, helicopters, turrets and gunboats, and end every world with a multi-phase boss.

Use it to launch your own game quickly, or as a solid foundation for any 2D shooter, bullet-hell or arcade title.

MONETIZATION READY
