Triplane Turmoil is a sidescrolling dogfighting flying game originally written for MS-DOS by Finnish developer Dodekaedron Software.
The game features four nations: Finland, England, Germany and Japan. Each nation has a single player campaign. There are also multiplayer levels which can be played with human or computer controlled pilots. The countries' planes differ from each other in terms of speed, maneuverability, bomb load capacity, endurance, ammunition capacity and fuel capacity.
Play against the computer or against other human opponents via a split-screen display. Do well and receive medals, ribbons, and promotions. Form alliances with other players or go it alone. Attack other planes in the air or drop bombs on enemy forces on the ground. Your objective is to destroy as much of the enemy as possible, and to defend your own forces!
This port to Nintendo Switch is based on the SDL port Timo Juhani Lindfors made. I basically upgraded it from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2, making it easier to port it to other platforms, added the ability to use 4 game controllers (instead of the original 2 joysticks), made a few fixes/improvements and then ported it to Nintendo Switch.
Everything should be working fine, except for changing the controls or creating new player profiles in the roster (there is no keyboard input).
