Application Description
Featured in "Rewind: Best of 2009"! Flight Control is an App Store classic - the landmark game that started the whole "line drawing" genre. It's the incredibly simple, yet insanely addictive worldwide #1 game from Firemint that everyone is talking about. Play the original and best today!

****************************
Macworld awarded Flight Control an extremely rare 5 out of 5 mice: "The unique gameplay is perfectly suited to the device, and I am hopelessly addicted."
CNET said Flight Control “...makes brilliant use of the iPhone and iPod Touch's interface... surprisingly rich and devilishly addictive gameplay... an exceptionally entertaining and satisfying game.”
IGN issued a challenge: “I dare you to play it just once… a fun, quick fix game that has me coming back for more”
Pocket Gamer said that “Flight Control is one of those essential games that you'll continually return to and will remain on your iPhone forever”
Touch Arcade called Flight Control “Incredibly fun... the winning balance of easy pick-up gameplay, ramping difficulty and tickling the need to try “just one more time”… we’re big fans of the game”
***********************************
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.

So welcome aboard, please sit back, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the mayhem!

Sheer Brilliance....
By :   
Many moons ago, when I saw "Flight Control" at number one, I thought to myself, "Directing airplanes? How much fun could THAT be?"Well, I decided to download it.I played it, and I wept. I wept for three weeks straight. One week for every playing field. I wept out of happiness.Then I grew dismal, as I realized that with perfection like this, I would never be able to find solace in any other application. I broke-up with my fiancé, I got rid of my animals, I painted my house black, and I shut myself out from the outside world. I became fixed. I could only find joy in the wonders of "Flight Control". I would often forget to eat, needing only the refreshing beverages that the stewardesses would offer. They sustained me.I would often wonder, "Could there be anything better than this? Have I found my only life goal?" I could not think of anything better than this perfect little game.But then, what's this? An update? Surely you could not make the perfect perfecter, for lack of a better word.But they did.When I played in the Australian Outback, with uncontrollable medicine planes flying in every once and a while, I realized how foolish I was to think that "Flight Control" is all there is to life.This update has showed me the world again.This is not to say that "Flight Control" is not still perfection, because it is. I just mean that the update has shown me that everything can always be made better. I soon realized that I could have "Flight Control", AND a life.Thank you, Firemint.Thank you for re-opening my eyes.

Ever since the latest update, the game freezes for a fraction of a second every couple of seconds, making the game impossible to play

I love the new version. I like the new map and the ability to choose multiplayer over wifi or Bluetooth I awsome (they should have that on Real Racing). I give this app 10 out of 5 stars. BRILLIANT
