Pick a plane or helicopter, pick a scene, and fly with your fingers! Fly Plane gives little kids a fun time flying around, doing tricks, and feeling great without the complications of weird menus and power-ups or needing to know how to read. Fly Plane is a quick and really simple game for kids (1-6 years old) that lets you have fun flying around without worrying about things like stalling and crashing. It’s designed for quick and casual fun: big buttons for choosing your aircraft and scene, easy takeoff and landing buttons, another button to make your plane spin, another for a unique special move, and touch anywhere else on the screen to fly your plane higher and lower to follow your finger. Once you land, it’s straight back to the selection screen and ready for your next flight. Fun music, real aircraft sounds and designs, and a huge snowman hiding in the back of one environment ;) If you or your kids ever wanted to be a pilot, give Fly Plane a go :)
