I still play this game as old as it is. Only now the goal for me is to get on the daily leader board. This game hasn’t seen an update in well over a year and as such doesn’t make use of Game Center and now it seems that from time to time fails to either upload or download the daily scores.

That last bit is highly frustrating when you’ve had a particularly great score to post.
It also doesn’t help that the developers left no way to get support or report issues.
Still a fun game.

I love it that would be gr8, if we can control the height of the flying plane.

Not a realistic for actual ATC opperations, however the multitasking it slightly realistic… A-D should say frquency change approved… And the TFR’s (Temporary Flight Restrictions) are a cute iterpritation… A very addicting game fun to play… The only thing is the fighters on the survival mode don’t score any points… What gives! A great game fun to play we have contests up in the tower to see who can get the best score! Great game!

I for one cannot get a plane to land. How the heck do I get it to land…I approach and it flies right by. I would love this to be THE app.

Game is fun and graphics are good. Controls are not always responsive. Touching landing strip doesnt always work. Cant get past upper levels because of this.

Need to work out a better way to land planes

Aaaah I’ve been going at this game all night and it should carry an additive warning

Thanks a lot for the great review — good to see some original stuff appear on the iPhone.

It seems this ATC game goes way back on other handsets as I found on http://www.atcgame.com and now made its way to the iPhone. Great game!

Wow, thanks for this!
A long long time ago, I used to play “Kennedy Approach” on the Atari 800XL, which was an air traffic controller game too. Very basic in appearance, it had alot of complexity in queue maangement. Played with just a joystick with a single button (remember those???), you selected a plane and ordered it to fly between 1000-5000 ft in the air, while keeping them a minimum distance of 2000ft away from another plane (vertically and horizontally). First few levels were easy, but the difficulty ramped up and you really start tearing your hair out!
I’m really happy this has appeared on iPhone and look forward to losing even more hair (even though there’s not as much supply as before! haha)

Great catch and really appreciate your reviews are detailed and informative!
Keep up the good work.

I like this, and if you really want to rewire your head, try http://www.atc-sim.com I have been trying that site out a bit lately and it can really give you a headache. Thinking in 3D while TRULY multitasking and giving priority is good for your head!
