### 5/5 — I love this!

*2026-07-28, version 5.0.1*

It fun and entertaining and it is very good

### 2/5 — Great idea but way too fast

*2026-07-24, version 5.0.1*

There should be different speed controls. This is just silly without speed options

### 5/5 — A good yam

*2026-07-20, version 5.0.0*

This is a good game to relax your brain

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-07-18, version 5.0.0*

Love this game, can get hard when there are no planes then it spawns 5,6,7 ( haha 67, SHUT UP) but other than that perfect

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-07-08, version 5.0.0*

I love fun!

### 4/5 — Thanks for brining it back!

*2026-07-07, version 5.0.0*

I’ve missed Flight Control, I’m not sure if devs bought the IP or it’s just a spiritual successor - thank you for bringing the game back with your own twist and ideas.

The game is great.

The only problem I have is when Ads play there UI elements to close the app and return to the game are too small that it doesn’t register my tapping.

### 5/5 — Oogabooga

Airplanes

### 5/5 — Amazing, addictive game!

*2026-06-04, version 4.2.301*

I’ve unlocked the entire series and absolutely love this game. Some levels are more challenging to get into a rhythm than others, but some levels I could probably play hours for if I could keep focused that long.

I don’t know how easier or difficult this would be to implement, but if there was a way to have time dilation option of 1.5 speed, that would be appreciated .

Sometimes, 1 feels too slow, but 2is just too frenetic.

I’m also grateful for the option of a one time purchase to remove ads. I did this very quickly, and appreciate a one time purchase rather than a subscription.

### 1/5 — Super jeu, au tout début, il s’appelait flight Control

*2026-05-23, version 4.2.301*

C’était un super jeu, il s’appelait flight Control depuis qu’il s’appelle plan de contrôle. Le jeu est très bien mais c’est bourré de pub et je ne sais pas comment les enlever. Je n’ai pas trouvé la version payante.

### 5/5 — Entretenido

*2026-05-15, version 4.2.301*

Bueno
