As a mobile-designed game, Sky Warriors does not feature any keyboard and mouse controls.
Instead, the main controls are shown on the left and right hand sides of the screen.
The thumbstick to the left is used to turn the plane or pitch it up and down. By default, the plane will automatically right itself if flipped onto its back.
The slide throttle to the right is used to affect the plane's throttle. It is currently not possible to stall the plane, though slower speeds equate to tighter turns.
Just above the throttle are the three available powerups you chose to bring into the mission, as well as access to anti-missile flares as a "get out of jail free" card. These should be used sparingly as they cost diamonds to replenish.
To the left of the throttle is the missile launch button, and immediately beneath that is the option to change which missile type you are going to fire. All missiles besides the default have a limit, and thus should be used sparingly. By default, guns automatically activate when within gun range of an enemy and the crosshair is mostly on target. Fine-tuning the aim of the guns is still necessary to land hits.
