We're flying into Game Dev Club Hackers, Game of the Week!

Welcome to this week's featured game for hackers: Air Attack! Get ready to embark on an adrenaline-pumping adventure as you take control of a small plane and engage in epic airspace combat with flying enemies. In Air Attack, you'll navigate the skies, shooting down enemy planes while dodging incoming fire to survive. Let's dive into the possible hacks and changes you can make to the game for more challenges and flying fun!
In Air Attack, you'll find yourself in the cockpit of a small yellow plane stationed at the bottom of the screen. Your mission? Take aim at enemy planes soaring in from the top and blast them out of the sky! Every enemy you eliminate earns you points, but be warned—enemy blasts are headed your way, and each hit spells danger for your plane. With each hit, you'll lose a precious life, so stay sharp in order to evade enemy formations!
Follow guided hacks in your code card to change the game in any way you can think of! Want to make the game even more challenging? Experiment with hacks like adjusting enemy speed to keep you on your toes, implementing a triple shoot mechanic for rapid-fire action, or throwing a dangerous big boss plane into the mix at certain levels.
Strap in, take to the skies, and prepare for the flying battle! Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newcomer to Hackers Club, we can't wait to see your creative skills and flying put to the test!
As pilots say, “clear skies, steady hands, and a tailwind to guide you!”
About The Code Zone Academy
Posts like this one are written by the mentors, about what members have been building. The Game Dev Academy has no fixed session time: a new build goes up every week and a child opens it whenever they are ready, with a STEM-certified mentor answering by text and video message when they get stuck.
Children build their own games rather than following a set course, starting in Scratch. Levels move down as readily as up, and staying where you are is a perfectly good outcome. Every mentor is background-checked and STEM-certified.

The blog is in two halves. Guides are the evergreen explainers written by the mentors who teach the clubs, covering the questions parents actually ask: what comes after Scratch, how to support a coding-mad child when you cannot code yourself, and what works for autistic and ADHD children.
Club news is the other half, and it is where posts like this one live: game jams, Minecraft builds and weekly roundups, written up by whoever ran the session. Neither is marketing. If you want to know what the work actually looks like before you sign up to anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
