Flight Control is the incredibly simple, yet insanely addictive worldwide #1 game from Firemint that everyone is talking about.
Air traffic control is the world's most stressful job, but not for you. You don't need heading angles, flight rules or meteorological reports, you're a natural! A prodigy! A born controller! Just touch and drag the planes to their runway.
- Incredibly simple, but amazingly engaging. - Beautiful graphics and animation. - Insanely addictive 'one more go' gameplay.
Flight Control now includes 4 airfields and 10 aircraft types: - Earn your wings on the beloved classic map that started it all! - Coast into a relaxing beachside resort and guide the jets, helicopters and seaplanes in to land (or float…) - Take the helm of the control center on an aircraft carrier and command military jets and helicopters. Watch out for the twist in this one ;) - Venture into the Australian outback and see the Royal Flying Doctors Service in action. When their emergency planes appear, make sure you give them a wide berth!
Game features include: - Multiplayer over local Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth (on supported devices). - Listen to your own iTunes music by starting a playlist before you begin the game, or by using the iPhone OS3.0 music picker while you play - with or without game sound effects . - Quick save and resume: whenever the game exits (for example, because you receive a phone call) your current game will be saved and be ready for you to resume the next time you play. - Fast-forward the game and speed up the action. No more waiting impatiently for the first few planes to appear!
Aim for a new personal best or compete with other Flight Controllers (online scoreboards are available with an internet connection): - Track your performance with detailed statistics. - Compare yourself to others with in-game scoreboards based on location and rank; personal bests; and scores from all nearby players, regardless of rank.
Flight Control also has its own website community at flightcontrol.cloudcell.com: - See Google Maps mashups of Flight Controller scores. - Link to your Twitter account to automatically tweet your new personal best scores. - Link to your Facebook account to automatically publish your new personal best scores on your wall and feed. - Add tags to your Cloudcell profile to help your friends find you and keep track of other Flight Controllers by 'following' them.

Unique gameplay is perfectly suited to the iPhone and iPod touch
Flight Control, a $1 app from Firemint, wouldn’t exist without the iPhone. The unique gameplay is perfectly suited to the device, and I am hopelessly addicted. When I have a spare minute or two, Flight Control is the game I play. Go spend the buck and start playing—you can read my review later while nodding vigorously in agreement.
Not much to this game, just guide the planes & helicopters to their landing strips or landing pads. Just don't have a collision! Easy game to play and a good time waster.
Awesome
This is one of the best applications for the iPhone. Fun, easy to play and challenging. Multiplayer mode is awesome too.
A ton of fun!
So addictive and fun you can't stop playing
Enjoyable Mini Game
Very entertaining when you are on the bus or in the subway. It's a fun game that never ends.
Super Fun
FlightControl rules. Highly addictive and challenging.
highly addictive!
I have many games on my iphone, but this one is the one I turn to most frequently. So often during the course of a week I have a few idle minutes to kill, and this is the perfect way! The controls are intuitive, and the graphics are simple but pleasant. I would say the designers could have picked a better word than the British term "Smashing!" when you successfully land an airplane, but then, that's nitpicking, isn't it? Worth the money - go for it!
Just buy it now.
This app is simple, yet amazing. A great way to waste time, or compete with friends.
Highly addictive time waster
This app is sometimes to addictive. My high score on the islands airfield is 104, and it took me a several tries to get that. It's a case of 'okay, one more try', which turns into several tries. Now that they have added an option to speed things up, it gets even more hectic. The pause button is a nice touch so you can relax, before resuming your game. I haven't yet tried peer to peer play. I convinced a friend to get this app and will be trying that feature out soon. I will post a new review on that aspect of the game soon. Enjoy!
It's gotta start somewhere...
Flight control is like Punch Out for Nintendo, if you had a Nintendo, you had to have Punch Out because everybody else did. Flight Control was the first to market this type and style of game that has since been mocked over by suck games as Harbor Master and Trains to name a few. This is a must own app for anyone, this game is a quick 2-5min killer of time if you find yourself waiting for a Train,bus, friend or any time you have a few minutes. The object is to land a slew of planes while you act as the air traffic controller plotting the different plane (and Helo's) paths to land. The more planes you land the higher your score. Easy at first but increasingly difficult as it progresses. A treat and a classic. This is the first app I tell people to buy when they first get an ipod/iphone.
BEST of the BEST!
Flight Control is probably the ONLY iphone game I have that I've had for a while and play repeatedly. It never gets boring...just more and more addicting! It's simple, and fun!
Best Game on The Phone
I have 7 plus pages of apps and this is by far the best game I have. It's cheap, addicting, fun and games don't take that long. The game requires real skill and anyone can play. You are a Flight Controller and you need to drag routes for the planes. It greats really hectic and fun. Play the 99¢ for this game you will not regret it!
My first iPhone addiction
This was the first game I really got into and wanted to play all the time. My interest has waned, but I often go back to it for a round or two. It's amazing that something so simple can be so fun. The desire to better one's high score is the motivation to keep playing it.
Good App
this is a very good application for the iphone that will take some time to be bored off.Its is amongst one of the best and well worth the 99 c you're going to pay for (99 c is actually cheap for this game(It's very user friendly and i recommend you buy it , you won;t regret it
Yeah, it's worth it!
Looks simple but it is so much fun! One of my favorites.
Great Game!
After about 20 seconds of playing Flight Control, I understood what I was supposed to do and how I was supposed to do it, without the help of the tutorial. The fact that this game is challenging but straightforward has been key to it's success, as well as the ability to submit and compare scores online without having to switching to safari and enter the company's website, which is a major annoyance found in other apps. Flight Control just got even better with P2P Co-op multiplayer. I look forward to getting more of Firemint's apps.
Easy to learn... Hard to master!
It only takes about thirty seconds to figure out how Flight Control works. Once that's over, you're just addicted to playing it! I've actually been too busy to play it since the recent update, but everything sounds very worthwhile.
ATC the easy way
This is a great app that I find myself coming back to all the time. They've added a fast forward mode now which lets you either speed up to make it harder or simply push thru the brief moments when all your aircraft have been routed. I really enjoy this game.

The only game I bought
This was money well spent. I am not a gaming freak not ever remotely. But this game has got me hooked. Even my wife loves it. We're just competing with each other on who lands the most planes. Simply awesome.

Great time waster!!!!
This app is great fun and provides continual excitement as more and more planes fly into the screen. The recent (as of 6-5-09) update adds two new airfields as well for added value. I woul have paid 3 bucks for this. A .
lot's of fun
this is a great game that is challenging and never gets old. with the interacitivity of a global leaderboard, and multiple airfields it is a great way to take a break a kill a little time.
