Planes Control is a casual air traffic controller simulator: you're responsible for everything flying over the airport. There's one rule — land every plane and helicopter so that no one collides with anyone else. Sounds easy. But the sky fills up with flights faster than you'd expect, and a leisurely session soon turns into a test of nerves. The game doesn't need internet, so it's well suited for short sessions on the subway or train.
How Planes Control is played
All the control comes down to one gesture: drag a line with your finger from a plane to the runway. Color tells you where to land each one. A red plane goes to the red runway, green to the green one, and helicopters land on the turquoise pad. Did the paths cross? Redraw the route, and the plane will calmly circle the airport a couple of times. Every successful landing earns points, and points unlock new levels.
Not just landings
What sets Planes Control apart from similar games are the location scenarios. Here you'll have to guide planes through storms and steer them away from tornadoes, put out forest fires, get drawn into air combat with enemy fighters, and even fend off an alien invasion once.
Fleet and locations
The hangar has more than 60 planes and helicopters. There are airliners and World War II fighters, jet aircraft, airships, and even a space shuttle. Phone owners have access to 13 locations, with tablets adding 6 more: the Arizona desert, Australia, the Pacific Ocean, Taiwan, the South Pole, and others. A new level appears every day. If you want to try your hand as an air traffic controller, you can download Planes Control on Android: the APK file installs for free, and you can get to the tower right after installation.
