## What is Approach?

Draw the route. Land the plane. Then the next one, and the next.

Free. No ads. No purchases. No account.

Approach is air traffic control you play with one finger. Planes arrive from every edge of an approach chart printed in ochre ink, and each one has a pad of its own color. Drag from a plane to its pad and it flies the line you drew. Keep the lines apart: two planes that touch are a crash, and three crashes end your shift.

CLIMB THE LEAGUES TO THE TOWER
Every shift adds to your Charge, and Charge climbs you through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond to the Tower at the top. You race a room of about a hundred players in your division, and the global boards rank everyone.

HARD, NEVER CHEAP
A shift is endless, and it gets busier the longer you hold it. But it plays fair:
• New planes arrive clear of the routes you have already drawn
• A crash needs the symbols you see to touch. No invisible boxes
• Nothing crashes off the edge of the map, where you can't reach it
• Every 25th landing takes a crash back off the count
Each landing raises your multiplier, up to x5, and a crash drops it back to x1.

FOUR KINDS OF AIRCRAFT
• Jets and props, each with a runway of their own
• Helicopters, for the helipad
• Heavies: the biggest, and worth the most

ONE CLEAN CHART
No clutter: one approach chart in ochre ink, and four symbols you can read at a glance, even when the sky is full. It plays offline, and a shift waits for you if you leave.

Also: career stats and achievements, and sound synthesized in the game, not recorded.

No ads, no purchases, no account. Anonymous play statistics and crash reports only, and leagues you can switch off.
