35 levels, 9 chapters
From downtown Cairo to the Nile, the Pyramids, Ramadan in the Khan, Alexandria, Luxor, Bulaq and Zamalek, and Ataba and the Metro. Each has its own calm background.
Fly the street. Shoot the pests.
Egyptian street animals fly homemade planes, a tuk-tuk, a karo cart, a felucca, over Cairo, the Nile and the Pyramids. Hand-drawn 1930s cartoon style, Egyptian Arabic jokes, and every attack warns you first.
A free test build for Android. The game checks for updates itself.

What's in the box
A real shoot 'em up, drawn like a Saturday morning cartoon from 1932, set on Egypt's streets.
Enemies warn you first
Mosquitoes lock an aim line, pigeons squat before dropping eggs, scarabs crack their shells. Every attack has a wind-up you can read, so a hit is always fair.
Nine bosses with attitude
The Microbus, Captain Tamsah, the Grumpy Sphinx, El Fanous, El Baltagy, the Big Conductor and more. Each has three telegraphed patterns and an enraged phase.
Six pilots, six weapons
Bisbis's slippers, Hommos's ta'meya, Batbota's seeds, Gamal's dates, Bondo's molokhia and El Sayes's banknotes. Each pilot has a super move.
Plenty to play
Story, Boss Rush, Endless, a Daily challenge with a twist, and a short Training level. Daily missions and a login gift grow with your streak.
Arabic first
Every screen in Egyptian Arabic or English, with joined letters and lines like the one the boss shouts when he lands a hit. The jokes come from everyday street life.
Feels good
Hit-stop, screen shake, vibration, wobbly ink outlines, synthesised music and cartoon stingers on a shared beat.
