'' Luftrausers '' is an update of '' Luftrauser '' , an earlier , free Flash game created by Vlambeer 's Rami Ismail , artist Paul Veer , and composer Kozilek in the GameMaker : Studio engine and was ported to pure C++ by Michel Paulissen via his Dex converter tool . Vlambeer originally announced the game for release in Q2 2013 on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita , having chosen those platforms due to their positive working relationship with Sony . In the weeks before the expected release , the Bangalore-based Rubiq Lab released a similar airplane dogfight game called '' SkyFar '' in April 2013 and Vlambeer contacted Apple and Google to intervene so as to avoid " another clone war " . Rami Ismail 's backpack containing " everything Vlambeer " including electronics and the game 's code was stolen during E3 2013 . Although their work was backed up , Ismail described the theft as " a giant pain "
