1. Introduction & Features

Welcome to Aces High Over Verlor Island (AHOVI), a casual 3D dogfighting game where you pilot a biplane and perform stunts and try to out-maneuver your opponents!  With the added functionality of the Reflect Account System, players can compete online in 8 player head-to-head bouts, or for the top high score in the single player modes.

AHOVI's single player games include Balloon Burst, a race to pop as many balloons as possible within the given time limit, Dogfight, where the player must shoot down 5 enemy airplanes as fast as possible, and Survival, a test of your endurance and flight skills.  Multiplayer can be played with or without a 10 kill limit rule, and are customizable to limit players, power-ups, and more.
