60 of 60 · most liked firstThere's an account that's abusing some sort of block trickery to invisibly harass people responding to any anti-genocide things I post with a reference to my 2013 game LUFTRAUSERS, pretending its a pro-Nazi game (it's not) & saying I picked a fight with people who thought it was (I talked to them).
unlabelledView post →Today's Sunday Best isn't a person, it's a plane from an old Vlambeer game called Luftrausers! The music changes to match your airplane. My favorite configuration is called "Shipwreck," a sword-hulled amphibious prop plane with shotgun cannons, it can divebomb through boats & burst up from the sea.
unlabelledView post →And wrapping up for now (again) with a game that'll cost you a whole THREE dollars - Jet Lancer. A personal favourite. A mash-up of Luftrausers and Macross, with some fantastic math-rock music, spectacular Itano Circus missile swarms and big mecha bosses. Also an NG+ mode you won't want to skip.
unlabelledView post →Second game is done for the 20 Games Challenge! The prompt was Jetpack Joyride, which I combined with some Luftrausers for a bit of extra flair. I learned a lot! Excited to move onto game 3 :) #indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev #indie agelink.itch.io/red-barron
unlabelledView post →Luftrausers OC (if anyone remembers that game) turned reg OC for my dieselpunk setting #pn7art #oc
unlabelledView post →I drew this as a sort of commemoration for 100%'ing the game Luftrausers, it's a pretty fun arcade game!
unlabelledView post →Being this shitty combination of tired, angry and in pain has put me on a bit of a Luftrausers kick. What a weird, excellent little game.
unlabelledView post →LUFTRAUSERS was a game in which you played "the enemy" from the early satellite/aerial espionage days because intelligence agencies would speculate about the potential superweapons hidden under sheets in 160x80px blurry pictures - we wanted to let people fly those. It's a weird WW2/cold war mix.
unlabelledView post →Oh, and not a 'pure' shmup, but Jet Lancer is going cheap too. My favourite Luftrausers-like. Amazing math rock soundtrack, Macross-style vibes, a sassy talking cat and a *really* good New Game Plus loop that you really shouldn't skip on Also a roguelike mode store.steampowered.com/app/913060/J...
unlabelledView post →Sometimes you get reminded of a classic game, then lose an entire week to it and feel the need to suck all your friends into the same RAD VIDEO GAME black hole. You should play Luftrausers. Here’s why: www.70percentcomplete.com/luftrausers-...
unlabelledView post →Ok yes, this game was my debut Steam release. Started right after I got laid off from a prev job. Was playing Luftrausers at the time and thought I could do something like it but roguelite and 3D. Had enough savings to last a year, knew better and still thought why not? 1/8 #gamedev #postmortem
unlabelledView post →Woah you made Luftrausers? Loved that game back in the day.
unlabelledView post →49. Jet Lancer (2020, PC/Switch). Does anyone remember LUFTRAUSERS? That dog-fighting WWI game? It plays very similarly, but switch the dieselpunk sepia for the popping vibrancy of an early 90s anime OVA, and add a variety of giant mechs as boss fights. So, in other words, kind of an improvement!
unlabelledView post →I'm SUPER proud of the game we made this year in 96 hours about the theme "Count Down"! Interestingly, one of the inspirations I had was Luftrausers, by @ramiismail.com. I'm sure my brain thought about it because we met recently at Develop:Brighton 😅 #GMTK2026 #GameJam #IndieGame
unlabelledView post →I personally never saw Luftrausers as a "Pro-Nazi" game and feel people were overthinking things. It was a fun game, still is quite frankly. Still the apology is appreciated to put minds at ease.
unlabelledView post →I miss that first flourish of the "indie" game surge, where there were novel concepts defined clearly. FTL, Into the Breach, Thomas Was Alone, Fez, Luftrausers, Broforce, etc...
unlabelledView post →LUFTRAUSERS is my personal favorite Vlambeer game and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a go
unlabelledView post →LuftrauserZ (2017) An enjoyable demake of the hit indie game Luftrausers. Like in the original, you & your plane must to survive relentless attacks from ever more dangerous enemies. Achieve various in-game goals to unlock new parts for your plane, some of which drastically change its behaviour. 1/3
unlabelledView post →Numbah Two: Luftrausers Compared to Vlambeer’s Nuclear Throne, Luftrausers is a little lesser known, but has short n sweet, arcade-schmup gameplay. Being mostly about hi-scores, you do have objectives to unlock new plane parts. I do love how the Music changes depending on your parts. Good game.

unlabelledView post →Used to love Destructo BITD! Very similar to Vlambeer's 2014 game "Luftrausers". IIRC there was a C64 remake of it, too.
unlabelledView post →Oh man this is an absolutely insane response. That's too bad, I was a big fan of vlambeer. I used to play Luftrausers back when it was a flash game
unlabelledView post →48. Luftrausers - Vlambeer’s game is utterly bonkers, tough as nails, stylish and fun as hell. Can’t wait to see what @ramiismail.com is brewing next.

unlabelledView post →Damn Jeff Gerstmann got me wanting to reinstall Luftrausers and play it from a fresh save. What a fucking GAME
unlabelledView post →Yeah. I've played so many games published by them. I think the one that sticks out as a Devolver Digital published one to me is Luftrausers. I played so much of that game.
unlabelledView post →Luftrausers (Vita, '14) Completion: I put some time in Recommend: ☑️ Best Part: Going into space Score attack arcade-style game with gorgeous graphics. Pretty cool, but actual progression is tied behind really obtuse objectives that rely heavily on RNG and some of them are clearly bugged so eh.
unlabelledView post →I don't own a Steamdeck, but there was a game on the Vita called Luftrausers that's perfect for on the go short busts game sessions. Super simple shmup that also happens to be on Steam. It's made by the same folks who made Nuclear Throne (another banger) and tends go on sale for super cheap.
unlabelledView post →@devolverdigital.com is a game publisher which I trust 100% since the very beginning. My first video game of Devolver was “Downfall” - still one of the best iPhone games out there. Then Luftrausers and the new Monkey Island game. And now Inscryption and Bleak Sword. They own the XXI cent. arcade! 🖤
unlabelledView post →I booted up my PS3 last night and none of the controllers worked but my partner’s old PS3 fight stick did, so I ordered replacement controllers. I found that it still had Afterburner Climax installed (hell yes) and also Luftrausers, which I booted up since it’s the most fight-stick compatible game.
unlabelledView post →Thank you! Luftrausers is a huge inspiration for this game, so well spotted👍
unlabelledView post →The best I've seen is #Luftrausers. The game has a specific theme (that is very cool) but each part you select has a variation on it and they overlay beautifully when you build your plane. #WhereTheWaterTastesLikeWine is also wonderful. #ContinuedInAltText...
unlabelledView post →Luftrausers unlocked an old memory of mine. I loved playing the flash game/proof of concept game, which led me to eventually purchase the Steam game.
unlabelledView post →I'd go so far as to say if you're making a game w/ 10 people, You're Doing It Wrong. Pretty much every truly special game (from Ms. Pac-Man to Super Mario Bros to Doom to Star Control 2, to Spelunky to Luftrausers to Cinco Paus to Hyper Light Drifter) was made by a smaller team. You don't need 10.
unlabelledView post →Oh yeah, I definitely payed for Luftrausers but I originally found out about the developer, Studio Vlambeer, when I found their first game, supercratebox.com as a devblog on the TIGSource forums. I loved it though I have no idea how it runs on current OS's and hardware.
unlabelledView post →Hah! that's an interesting comparison. I'm guessing the game Luftrausers doesn't mean anything either but it plays a lot like a fleshed out version of that. amazing soundtrack and nice satisfying combat, there's a reason it made it to my four games
unlabelledView post →74. Luftrausers Good time. The soundtracks goes hard and it's a nice game to play for 5 minutes and stop.

unlabelledView post →I probably played Time Pilot the most tonight- I love that game and it reminds me of Luftrausers. Also Gyruss and Black Widow.
unlabelledView post →@birdibirdson whoa! an engine that bring us a legendary @vlambeer Luftrausers, Super Crate Box and Nuclear Throne ♥️♥️♥️ I haven't even tried it yet, how was it #DX? #GameMaker #Vlambeer #Luftrausers #SuperCrateBox #NuclearThrone
unlabelledView post →I think everyone has a Vlambeer game and mine is Luftrausers
unlabelledView post →Fired up the Vita to play some Luftrausers. Such a great game. Criminal that it isn't on PS5.
unlabelledView post →LUFTRAUSERS is a game that I think would be really really awesome to see go from 2D to 3D like Risk of Rain.
unlabelledView post →Oh man I should reinstall Luftrausers again. What a game.
unlabelledView post →Playing some #OneButtonBossBattles and it feels a little like #SuperHexagon and #Luftrausers had a baby.
unlabelledView post →I think starfox's usual stages are linear to match a 2D shmup or arcade game, and that simplicity is reassuring in score attack... But I also love all-range dogfights like in starfox 2 or ace combat, so if the game was designer to play like a... 3D LUFTRAUSERS that'd be hype
unlabelledView post →8 (1/3). and with bangers in mind, LUFTRAUSERS brought you by the same people who did Nuclear Throne and the OST composed by the game person who did the Fall Guys OST. Quick and addicting arcade-like gameplay where you are one plane against an entire battalion where every second counts.
unlabelledView post →Got to spend my afternoon playing Luftrausers today. It's a good game but I would love to have it on a portable device. Maybe one day I will own a deck or a ROG ally and hop back into it.
unlabelledView post →Replaying Luftrausers by Vlambeer ( @jwaaaap.bsky.social and Rami Ismail). It's been a long while since I last touched it, but it's as fantastic as the day it came out. Super tough, but nothing quite compares to weaving through a storm of bullets and surviving quite like this game
