About

Final Approach

Features
Read full description

You are the tower. Aircraft arrive from every edge of the screen, and it is on you to bring every one of them down safely. Drag a path with one finger and release it on the right destination: jets take the paved runway, propellers the dirt strip, helicopters the pad. Hold two aircraft too close and the tower flags a conflict. Miss it, and the shift is over. Then the pressure builds. Fuel runs low and an aircraft has to jump the queue. Storm cells drift in off the edges and have to be routed around. The sky fills faster than you can clear it. - One-finger controls anyone can pick up in seconds - Tower assist predicts conflicts before they happen - Low-fuel emergencies that force you to re-plan mid-shift - Drifting storm cells you have to route around - Close-call bonuses for threading the needle - A graded tower report at the end of every shift - Native haptics on every clearance, landing and crash No timers. No energy meters. No ads. No accounts. Nothing to buy. The whole game is on your phone and works entirely offline. Just you and the airspace.
