Here’s a list of mindless shooters that look like old-fashioned arcade games. Some take place in space, while others invade the skies over towns and cities. All you have to do is press the screen and watch the destruction unfold.

Squadron 1945 (Android)

Press and hold the screen to play this game. The goal is to destroy attacking planes. You can choose from four aircraft that fire different weapons including spinning sticks, spread rounds, lasers, and multiple guided missiles. To switch between aircraft, stop pressing the screen and select a different type of weapon at the bottom of the pause screen.

Squadron – Bullet Hell Shooter (Android, iOS)

Press and hold the screen to fire at space robots. There are four aircraft to choose from. One fires a laser. Another fires spinning sticks. Spread fire is another type of ammunition on board the third aircraft. The fourth aircraft fires several rounds at the same time in a circular, guided-missile pattern; each round searches for a target and hits it. If you stop pressing the screen, the game shifts to a pause mode.

FA Space Shooter (Android)

There are several types of ammunition in this space shooter. There are standard rounds, large missiles, boomerangs, multi-round munitions, and spread missiles. The aircraft can move to all parts of the screen by dragging the finger across the screen. It’s best to stay at the bottom of the screen to avoid incoming fire. The background of each level looks great.

Fighter Aircraft Warfare 2016 (Android)

In this space shooter, players can activate a shield to repel incoming fire. There’s also a rapid-fire item that automatically speeds up the aircraft’s firepower and increases the number of rounds that are fired. Another notable item that can be collected will transform the ordinary aircraft into an intimidating aircraft modified with a large wingspan. There’s also a sexy babe that provides helpful information when you start playing the game.

Strikers 1945-2 (Android, iOS)

Collect power ups and destroy tanks on the ground while playing this game. There are reinforcements that help fight off enemy aircraft. Occasionally, enormous military cargo-like aircraft cruise by and fire at you. These airships have gun turrets and smaller aircraft defending it.

The Best Game Is…
