## What is OptiFlight?

Step into the world of airline route planning, where your goal is to create a flight network to guide passengers to their destinations in a limited amount of time. You get to call the shots on which routes to draw and which cities to designate as hubs that best serve each scenario. The flight maps you design will also need to be efficient and flexible to accommodate for events that may occur, like airport rushes and closures, as its effects ripple throughout your network. With over 350 geographically and historically themed levels to play, each map you make will be put to the test.

MAIN FEATURES
- Take a step back in time and create flight maps for past historical scenarios, like the 1849 California Gold Rush and the 2012 London Olympic Games
- Prepare for the future and create flight maps in realistic inclement weather simulation, including Hurricanes and Blizzards
- Understand the present and create flight maps using actual cities, like New York City and Tokyo, to reflect real flight patterns

### 5/5 — fun

*2026-07-15, version 1.13.1*

this app so much fun I love planes I like the way they can make the airports close. It’s just so much fun five stars!

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-02-28, version 1.12.3*

Game is consistently crashing on Custom levels

### 4/5 — Good not great

*2025-08-09, version 1.12.2*

Just downloaded. I am very disappointed 😢 that you have to buy other countries.

### 3/5 — Good idea, needs polishing

*2025-06-23, version 1.12.2*

There are some things that definitely need to be changed and fixed. A lot of these suggestions are somewhat nitpicky but when you consider all of them together, it really adds up and makes playing somewhat tedious.

The good: 

The game is very easy to learn and generally doesn’t get boring because of the situations introduced throughout the game.

Aside from anything mentioned below, the game UI is well designed and doesn’t look clunky for all of the options it provides.

The bad: 

If you are playing with “Disconnect Closed Routes” on, you better hope you beat levels with closures (which make up a solid amount of all the levels) first try. Otherwise the level doesn’t let you start a new game when you try and puts you in an infinite loop of popups which doesn’t end until you turn off the setting. 

Additionally, the lack of consideration for the user’s experience is somewhat infuriating. I can’t express how many times I have pressed the “▶️” button after completing a level thinking it would take me to the next level, only to be put back into the level I just finished. I understand that some people may want to get all of the goals in a level before moving on, but an option to go to the next level on the complete screen would be a lot better than having to navigate back to the main menu, clicking into the next level’s screen, and then finally entering the level. I am also fairly certain that a complete screen doesn’t exist, but rather it just brings you back to the current level screen.

Some UIs are completely unnecessary too. The confirmation screen for the “Disconnect All Routes” option is just an absolute annoyance. For context, to get to the screen, you have to pause the game if it is running, then swipe down on a bar at the top of the screen, and then click the “Disconnect All Routes” button and then click another confirmation button. Another nuisance is that after confirming, it doesn’t even bring you back to the game screen, so you have to swipe down again. I don’t think anyone who disconnects all routes would then proceed to quit the game.

Finally, the UI design is very inconsistent throughout the game. Some popups (such as the ones that put you in an infinite loop) aren’t custom while other ones (such as the “Disconnect All Routes” confirmation) are. This doesnt bug me that much, but it’s a shame that the time wasn’t taken to smooth it out. 

On the topic of arrows, all of the buttons for exiting a menu or going back to a previous screen are in the top left corner, except the leaderboards screen which has it in the top right. 

The levels also don’t unlock in order and I couldn’t find any explanation as to why. Currently I have every level up to 28 unlocked but not 17 or 20. 16 and 26-28 are also unlocked for me to play despite not beating the previous levels. A flow chart-esque main menu would be more intuitive, or just making the levels unlock in order would work too. 

I get that this is a solo developed free game, and it’s honestly pretty impressive that you’ve managed to make a game better than most other free games and even some paid games, but there are definitely some areas of improvement. :)

👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Top 5 aviation games

*2025-06-14, version 1.12.2*

I really enjoy this game, I can play this forever and when I get bored, this is the game I would play. Good game!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-04-04, version 1.12*

Honestly great game. Mate you’ve gotta give credit to the guy that made it.

### 5/5 — Got a good feeling the moment I saw this game for free (I love it)

*2025-03-29, version 1.12*

For some reason I really like this app but it is abit boring after a long time, excited to play it on my flight!

### 5/5 — Great game, amazing developer!

*2025-01-14, version 1.11.4*

The game is as described: fun, challenging, and very addictive. There isn't really much else to say… but the developer is amazing. 

I had a problem with the game that I was pretty sure was my fault (spoiler: it was). I contacted the developer, who, instead of telling me I was being stupid and should know how to play games, took the time to explain how the part of the game I was stuck on worked. He showed me what it all meant through screenshots and was an overall nice guy. On top of that, the communication was very prompt.

I’ve been an iPhone user for seven years, and this is the first review I have left, as I feel it is well-deserved and the least I can do. Thanks again for all of your help.

### 3/5 — Good but can better

*2025-01-12, version 1.11.4*

OptiFlight is good enough, but we can be better someday and also I would like the game developers to develop more things and also fun and also fun multiplayer competitions

### 5/5 — Really fun little game

*2025-01-08, version 1.11.4*

I love playing this in my spare time.
I’ve started a walkthrough tutorial for some levels on YouTube. Please head over to @OptiFlightTutorial and join in!
