Blue Skies Lite lands on the iPhone

Blue Skies Air Force Academy (App Store) by Rocking Pocket Games is a top-down arcade shooter that places the player in command of a helicopter tasked with the mission to eliminate the evil leader Hans Kraven and his mercenaries.

To purchase or not to purchase, that is the question, pictures of the game may help make the decision easier, videos are even better, but nothing beats actually getting some hands on experience with a demo version.
