THE FLYING KICK
SO, this is the trick used during development to advance as far as possible without dying. What you need to do is kick repeatedly. There are two key combinations that result in the flying kick. With the most reliable one you can Jump and press the arrow Left or Right key, which results in a flying kick.
The flying kick produces higher points and is more impervious to counter attack. If you do it repeatedly you can get to level three or so. You might even get further.
Try it.

New Release
Today "Airplanes, Etc." 1.0.0.20150212 was released. The reason for the release was to update the Bluetooth Duelling functions. It was the case that when you played the Bluetooth version of the game once, and chose to play from one side of the screen, you could not simply choose to play the other side of the screen without stopping the game and toggling bluetooth off and on.
Now when you play the bluetooth version, the game connects with bluetooth once and then allows you to play over and over again on the same original connection. This way you can re-match your opponent over and over and even switch which side you start on.
You do need to reconnect if you choose a different opponent, but otherwise your first connection is reused over and over.

PAIRING YOUR DEVICE!
Before you start to use the dueling feature in "Airplanes, Etc." you must pair your two devices. This requires that you go to your SETTINGS program, go to the Bluetooth section, enable device discovery on your phone, and then actually pair with the other device.
When you do this a small dialog will open on the other device asking if they want to pair with you. You must say 'yes'. After that the "Airplanes, Etc." Dueling screen will show the paired device in it's Bluetooth device list.
More detailed instructions for pairing can be found on line.

Bluetooth Duelling Instructions
First, start with two people and two phones! Then you must pair the devices. Then on each phone, choose what side you will be standing on. You cannot both start on the same side! Then choose your opponent in the list on the Duel dialog and LONG-CLICK on them. You may have to try more than once to get it to work!!

PUBLISHED BLUETOOTH DUELING OPTION
I've published another version of the game.
I've been working on a dueling option where one person on one phone can challenge another person on another phone and the two phones would be connected by bluetooth. It's far from complete, but the version now available in the Play Store is usable to a certain extent. It's somewhat buggy and it requires a lot of patience.
Essentially you need to have bluetooth on your phone and so does your opponent. You must also both have matching versions of the game. The very first step is to make sure that bluetooth is on and that the two phones are 'paired'. I can't really go into the details of 'pairing' here.
Then you open the Dueling controls and pick out your desired startup options. Specifically you must choose weather you want sound on and witch side of the screen you want to start on. (Your opponent must choose the opposite side!) Then you start the match by pressing -- both simultaneously -- the mac address of your opponent in the list at the bottom of the dialog.
If everything works out correctly the session will start and you will be able to fight each other. If things don't work out correctly bad things happen. There's a list of things that could go wrong, starting with no connection being made and including connection being made but proper synchronization not being achieved.
If things get muddled up, you can try again. At some point the game will not respond to additional attempts, so after the 4th attempt the game displays a message instructing you to "toggle bluetooth". As the message implies, you can continue to try to get a connection, but only after stopping the program (on both phones) starting the phone's SYSTEM program and turning bluetooth off and on again after about five seconds (again on both phones).
There's no recording of scores or who's the winner! For now you just have to be content knowing that you beat your opponent!
I'm still working on 'BLUETOOTH DUELING' and I'm trying my best to get around the various restrictions. For the time being if you can get it to work that's great. If you can get it working email me!
