## What is TOWER 68?

■ An arcade born from a true story

Thirty-one years in the control tower at JFK. One veteran controller never forgot the hour he brought 68 planes safely down. TOWER 68 is a line-drawing arcade inspired by that story — bring order to the sky with the tip of your finger.

■ How to play
- Draw a line with your finger to guide each incoming plane to the runway that matches its color.
- The straighter and softer the touchdown, the higher your grade — nail it for a "BUTTER" landing!
- If two planes collide, it's game over. Stay calm as the traffic keeps building.

■ Variables that raise the tension
- Priority landings, golden planes, gusty winds and fog
- A different control profile every run (light rush, heavy day, rush hour)
- Faster arrivals and higher targets as the rounds climb

■ Reasons to keep coming back
- Combos and coins, trail skins, achievements, and a fresh daily challenge
- Save the moment of a butter landing as a short clip and share it with friends

■ A greeting on the holidays
On Lunar New Year, Chuseok and Christmas, pilots of Korean-flag aircraft exchange greetings with you over the radio in Korean. A brief warmth fills the tower.

Pick up and play with one hand — short sessions, deep focus. Take your seat in the tower today.

* This game is fiction inspired by a true story.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-27

Fixed a bug that could lose your records
If you closed the app from the game-over screen, your best score and
achievement progress could go unsaved. Your records now persist no matter
when you leave.

Trail skins are actually visible now
Your purchased skin color was being overridden once your combo climbed.
That's fixed, and the line you draw with your finger now uses your skin
color too — so you can tell at a glance which one is equipped.

Other improvements
· Fixed notification messages that were hard to read against the background
· We now occasionally ask for a rating, only from players enjoying the game

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-14

Ads have arrived
After a game over, "watch an ad to continue" is entirely your choice. Other
full-screen ads are capped to appear once every few runs, and never during
your first two runs after opening the app.

Every aircraft type now looks different
Light traffic is a straight-wing propeller plane, medium is a swept-wing jet,
and heavy is a widebody with four engines. Shape tells them apart now, not
just color.

24 achievements
From "First Butter" to "31 Years On" — play 30 days in a row. Each one pays
out coins.

Cooler in your hand
Fixed the heat build-up during long butter streaks. Replay clips used to be
encoded after every landing; now just one, for your best moment of the run.

New settings
Colorblind assist mode and "How to play" replay.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-30
