How to Play Time Pilot
Quick start
- Use the directional control to turn the fighter and learn the scrolling response.
- Fire into approaching aircraft while keeping a wide escape turn.
- Collect a parachuting pilot when the approach is safe.
- Destroy enough enemies to reveal and defeat the mothership.
Controls
The eight-way joystick turns the fighter toward the selected direction; the world scrolls to show forward travel. Fire attacks enemy aircraft. Flying into a parachuting pilot rescues them.
Time Pilot — About this game
Time Pilot keeps its futuristic fighter near the centre while the surrounding world scrolls in the direction it faces. An eight-way control turns the plane, making pursuit and escape part of the same continuous flight. Destroy enough aircraft to bring out the era’s mothership, then defeat it to travel to the next period. Parachuting pilots can be rescued for points along the way, but collecting them still requires avoiding enemy fire and collisions. Five eras change the opposition before the sequence repeats. Learn a wide, controlled turn before circling tightly around an approaching formation.
