Behind the scenes: better shift telemetry that powers the public Tower Log, groundwork for upcoming season features, and small fixes. Thanks for flying with a one person tower.

Such an amazing app

This is one of the best apps i’ve ever tried. And it looks so good in the game. The tutorial is a little confusing since there aren’t arrows but once you get the hang of it, the game becomes amazing. I’ve been searching for an app like this for a while and it’s almost perfect. Great job for whoever designed/created this and made it so amazing. The best atc app on the app store in my opinion. 👍

Response from developer

I am so glad that the game brought you joy. I've put a lot of work into it and am trying to improve it every week. Thank you also for taking the time to write the feedback - I know you didn't have to, and it means a lot that you did. I've tried to improve the tutorial by implementing a simpler academy, but I take your feedback that a player overlay on the early levels could help people become accustomed quickly. Thanks for playing and writing. You really brightened my day. -Craig

pretty good game, needs a few QoL improvements

I enjoy this game a lot. There is a career that eases you into the game with tutorials and difficulties, it’s a little bit slow paced though. But there is a way to speed up time. It would be nice if you could select which traffic pattern for the plane to enter, because sometimes i feel that it is random, and so they land at the wrong airport sometimes. Also, i can’t seem to send helicopters to helipads, only runways. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience what it’s like for ATC. it is a fun experience overall

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and the recommendation. Really glad you're enjoying it! Two quick tips on what you ran into: Helicopters can land on helipads. Direct the helo to the helipad (in the Direct To window, the helipads are identified for you) and bring it down low as it gets close, and it settles onto the pad on its own. You'll find helipads on the levels that feature them (Solberg/N51 is a good one), plus every Search & Rescue mission is helicopter-based. You're in control of where arrivals go. Use "Clear to Land" for a specific runway, or "Direct To" and approach clearances to route a plane in. The "Enter Pattern" command puts a plane into the pattern for the airport its goal is set to, so it should arrive at the right field. If one ever lands somewhere it shouldn't, that sounds like a bug, and a log would really help me catch it (Settings, then Send logs). If anything else ever looks off, please send a log or post on the in-app "Talk to the Developer" board. I read and reply to everything, and it really does shape what I build. Your idea about choosing a plane's pattern is great feedback and it's on my list. More is on the way (a story-driven career campaign is in the works). Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to write this. It means a lot. Craig

Looks and feels vibe coded but really cool concept

Response from developer

Thank you, honestly "really cool concept" made my day. I'm a solo developer, and this game has been a labor of love, more late nights and weekends than I can count to get the flying and the airspace feeling right. If something felt unpolished, I'd really like to know what. There's a "Talk to the Developer" page right in the app, and I read and respond to everything that comes through it. Thanks for giving it a try. - Craig

Doesn’t work

This game is broken and does not work

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for providing feedback. It's a little hard to actually help you without understanding more. If you're willing, please use one of the three different ways through the app or on the support website where you can get help directly from the developer. Hundred's of people are playing daily and not giving this feedback. I would love to help you be one of them.

Phone heating issue

This games a lotta fun but my phone gets extremely hot while playing. It doesn’t do that with anything else I can think of. Issue there that can be addressed? Also, would love a windows desktop version!

Response from developer

Hi and good morning! Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying the game. I have made some modifications that reduce GPU load in most levels. They will be released in 2.1 (coming shortly). If you're willing, could you reach out to support through the settings menu and tell me a little more about what's happening when you're playing, so that I can diagnose a little further. Thank you!
