About

LYFE Approach

Features
Read full description

Drag a line from each aircraft to the runway. Don't let them collide. That's all, and it won't let you go. LYFE Approach is air traffic control at its purest: one finger, a screen full of traffic, and a runway that gets busier by the minute. Jets, props, helicopters and drones, each with their own speed and their own place to land. FOUR MAPS • Island: one runway, one helipad. The classic field. • Crossing: two runways that cross. The short one takes props and drones only. • Coast: parallel runways and two helipads. Busy, but clear. • Carrier: a ship at sea, slowly turning. The deck turns with it. DAILY CHALLENGE Every day the same map and the same flights for everyone. One leaderboard a day in Game Center. How far can you get? MADE FOR YOUR FINGERS Haptic feedback on every landing and every near miss. Multitouch: steer two aircraft at once. Works with Apple Pencil and trackpad on iPad. FREE TO PLAY Free play on Island and the daily challenge on every map are free, with no forced ads. LYFE Approach Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks free play on all maps and every map we add later. Family Sharing included. Works without internet, even in airplane mode. No account, no subscription, no tracking. Just land them.
