This is the official reboot of the 2017 hit game.

Back then it was #1 post on HN for 3 consecutive days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15892066

The game was rewritten from the ground up: - New graphics + WebGL shader effects - Map obstacles - Completely new UI - Additional special ability for all aircraft - Daily/Weekly/Lifetime achievements - Levelling rewards - Loadout system for equipping skins, flags, flairs and titles - 5 game modes: FFA, CTF, Battle Royale, Racing, Zombies - Public leaderboards + player profiles - Paid in-game cosmetics (skins, flags, VIP pass)

Worth the wait The ground-up rewrite feels like a substantial upgrade. The WebGL shader effects look great, but the map obstacles and extra ability for each aircraft are the standout changes for me—more room for tactical positioning and ability timing. Nice to see Racing and Zombies alongside FFA, CTF, and Battle Royale, too.
