I have had the first for about a year now... and the second I just picked up the first day of the current sale.
They are actually a pair of good looking Shoot'en Ups. (They remind me of the old arcade game [Sky Shark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Shark).
They both have a 2 player mode and actually achievements related to playing with your friends. The second one, SF: Reloaded actually has a few in game power ups related to beating your friends in a tournament. )And you always see your friend scores in the leaderboard.)
I am looking for friends to enter Sky Force tournaments with as well as possibly trying out 2 player. tbh, I can always join the existing game thread on steam and look for people there, but I would rather have friends that have similar interests to me other than just a single game... such as native linux gaming.
As a rule, I generally do not accept random friend requests, but I will for the next week or two if you have Sky Force in your profile's game list. Otherwise, If you leave a message here saying that you want to be added, I will regardless of if you have Sky Force or not. (Other than Sky Force, I play a lot of colony builders and TD games... Factorio, Rimworld, Oxygen Nor Included, Neverwinter Nights:EE. Prison Architect, Kingdom Rush.. and more. I just started playing a lot of Don't Starve as well.)
I am in Eastern US Time Zone, but I have horrendous sleep habits normally up past midnight (4am UTC) and wake up at 10am (2pm UTC.)
I am not the best at Shoot'em Ups, but I have fun... Right now, I have unlocked about half the levels on each game and can get through the 3rd level of difficulty on the first 3 maps of each as well. (So I am not the worst player either.)
