Crashes
Game is consistently crashing on Custom levels
Good not great
Just downloaded. I am very disappointed đ˘ that you have to buy other countries.
Good idea, needs polishing
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 doesnât get boring because of the situations introduced throughout the game.
Aside from anything mentioned below, the game UI is well designed and doesnât look clunky for all of the options it provides.
The bad:
If you are playing with âDisconnect Closed Routesâ on, you better hope you beat levels with closures (which make up a solid amount of all the levels) first try. Otherwise the level doesnât let you start a new game when you try and puts you in an infinite loop of popups which doesnât end until you turn off the setting.
Additionally, the lack of consideration for the userâs experience is somewhat infuriating. I canât express how many times I have pressed the ââśď¸â 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 levelâs screen, and then finally entering the level. I am also fairly certain that a complete screen doesnât exist, but rather it just brings you back to the current level screen.
Some UIs are completely unnecessary too. The confirmation screen for the âDisconnect All Routesâ 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 âDisconnect All Routesâ button and then click another confirmation button. Another nuisance is that after confirming, it doesnât even bring you back to the game screen, so you have to swipe down again. I donât 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) arenât custom while other ones (such as the âDisconnect All Routesâ confirmation) are. This doesnt bug me that much, but itâs a shame that the time wasnât 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 donât unlock in order and I couldnât 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 itâs honestly pretty impressive that youâve managed to make a game better than most other free games and even some paid games, but there are definitely some areas of improvement. :)

Top 5 aviation games
I really enjoy this game, I can play this forever and when I get bored, this is the game I would play. Good game!
Great game
Honestly great game. Mate youâve gotta give credit to the guy that made it.
Got a good feeling the moment I saw this game for free (I love it)
For some reason I really like this app but it is abit boring after a long time, excited to play it on my flight!
Great game, amazing developer!
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.
Iâve 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.

Good but can better
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
Really fun little game
I love playing this in my spare time.
Iâve started a walkthrough tutorial for some levels on YouTube. Please head over to @OptiFlightTutorial and join in!

Amazing game for relaxing time
Thank you for such a beautifully made simple game.
One suggestion though, I would love an icloud save functionality, so I can play it on my iPad.

Very good game but extremely difficult
Itâs a great game that is fun to play and challenge yourself although I think it would benefit from more in depth and advanced tutorials that help you get better at the game. For me some of the later levels are extremely difficult and can be very frustrating.
Pls Reduce difficulty in some levels
The following levels are really hard and need some fixing pls (Winter, Summer,Inland,seismic,Coastal,Blues Highway,Standing rock and Apollo pls and I rate you five because the game is really fun and can you make it easier to unlock levels thank you I recommend this to others
Amazing game
This is a really good game and will recommend this to anyone who is wanting to pass the time.
Very simple and good
Itâs so simple yet so good and does a good job as a simple game
This is a great game!
Boy was I wrong thinking this game was surface level and lacking in content. FAR from it. Hats off to the developers theyâve worked hard on this great game.
Meh
Thereâs not enough info to be able to figure out why your routes donât work, and the user interface is remarkably crappy. When I tap on a city to draw a route, half the time it drags the screen instead. But when I DONâT tap on a city, but double-tap in between to erase a route, THEN it assumes I want some city and zooms in on it. I spend as much time fighting the stupid UI as I do playing the game. There are other UI issues; the design team just isnât very smart, and the game isnât interesting enough to make up for that. So, meh.

Really difficult
I couldnât get past the SECOND level of this game which is ridiculous since I love similar apps. Not fun đ

Only problem is the subscription, which locks too much!
Foehawk19: Addictively Challenging and Satisfying
I canât overstate how much I love this game. I always found myself coming back to try and 3star all the challenges, unfortunately my iCloud didnât transfer between phones correctly and Iâve lost all my leaderboard spots because of it. I was on the first page for a majority of the maps, as one of the only Canadians (shoutout Jax, fellowđ¨đŚ), excluding Asia and the original America. I had finished Latin America and solidified my spot, (or so I thought) unfortunately my iCloud only saved at 56/90 and itâs discouraging that itâs now my closest when before that wouldâve been easily the least completed region. Hopefully I can get it back, barring my old phone can connect and backup to iTunes (looking unlikely now). Iâm not one to restart things, I barely finish things as it is, so I think it says a lot that Iâm considering making a rush back up the leaderboards and might attempt to recomplete Latin America. Despite my unfortunate loss of progress, this has been one of my favourite phone games of all time, and I truly believe it deserves more recognition than itâs received.

Great strategy game!
First of all, I canât believe that I found a game which doesnât require to buy stupid coins to play or pass the level. It doesnât show any ads! And additional maps are only $1.99. Iâm planning to purchase it, since this game is really addicting and I really want to support developers like this. Genuine and passionate about the game they created.
Great job and thank you for not trying to rip off players, like 90% games in the market. đ
