Praise for Air Hares: Early reviews call it "unique" + love "90s style"
[p]Five days post-launch of Air Hares, we’re so thrilled to see people playing and enjoying the game!
[/p][p]Here are just a few of the lovely things people are saying:[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]“A farming-based shoot-em-up…worth checking out.”
[/p][p]“I really like the aesthetic here. It has a '90s-style cartoon look (I suddenly really want a modern Bucky O'Hare game). Also, the song from the trailer is going to live in my head for weeks.”

[/p][p]“Air Hares feels like I’m booting the game up on a CRT TV early in the morning to try and get a new high score. Maybe even having my brother team up with me if he’s keen on it. It’s a nice slice of a world that we get to play within.”
[/p][p]“Speaking of bosses and characters themselves, I enjoyed each of their unique, sorta retro designs and unique sprites within the game, and especially loved the beautiful story snippets that played after each stage’s completion.”[/p]![]()
[/p][p]“The premise in Air Hares is certainly different for an arcade-style game, and hats off to the developers for trying something unique.”[/p][p][/p][p]“We could definitely see the Air Hares crew in an ’80s kids TV show.”[/p][p][/p][p]“Those who enjoy something a bit different and are looking for a kid-friendly title with fun characters should check Air Hares out. It’s a well-made game that dares to try something new and pulls it off with aplomb.”[/p]![]()
[/p][p]“A delightful mashup of arcade intensity and pastoral care, every evasive weave and well‑timed water shot directly contributes to Winrose Warren’s revival, wrapped in bright, Saturday‑morning‑cartoon charm, accessible co‑op, and a personality that makes each run feel hopeful rather than punishing.”[/p][p][/p][p]“Distinct, hand‑crafted art and expressive character design give the world emotional weight; Captain Rabbo, Dirk Doggo, and the Gale Gang feel alive.”[/p][p]
“Local co‑op, simple controls, adjustable difficulty, and nostalgic presentation make it easy to play with friends or younger family members while still offering depth for seasoned players.”[/p][p][/p][p]“Air Hares is a warm, inventive take on the classic shoot‑’em‑up that swaps indiscriminate blasting for a gratifying loop of restoration. [/p]![]()
[/p][p]“If you love top-down shooters, especially games like Star Fox or titles focused on aerial combat, this will be right up your alley. It’s also a great pick if you have a friend or partner to play with, as it includes co-op and is easy to jump into."[/p][p][/p][p]"By focusing more on growing and restoring rather than pure destruction, Air Hares offers a softer take on arcade action, making it suitable for younger players. \[...] For players who enjoy classic shooters and want something with more meaning, Air Hares is a memorable experience that’s worth taking to the skies.”[/p]
