Drone Worlds
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fly coastal gates, navigate city streets, and glimpse imaginary worlds. Drone Worlds is a drone flight game controlled with two on-screen sticks. The interface supports Japanese and English. COAST AND CITY COURSES Explore a coast and a city, each with beginner, intermediate and advanced courses designed around the scenery. Pass through the orange gates in order. LEARN ONE MOVEMENT AT A TIME A hands-on first-launch tutorial covers takeoff, hovering, altitude, movement, turning, cameras and return-to-home. Revisit it from Settings. Watch autonomous example flights with visible stick movements. PREVIEW IMAGINARY WORLDS A floating castle and glowing barriers in a magical world. Drifting cells and particle jets in a microscopic universe. Watch approximately 90–120 second autonomous previews from the drone camera. These worlds are viewing-only; manual play is planned for a future Pro edition. FLIGHT AND CONTACT Experience inertia and attitude control, haptic contact feedback, balance disturbances after lighter impacts and crashes after stronger impacts. Switch between FPV and chase cameras. DEVICE SETTINGS Choose High, Standard or Light scenery detail, move the compact status display to the top, left or right, and toggle sound and haptics. Version 1.0 is free with ads and no in-app purchases. A future Pro edition is planned with no ads, expanded courses and free flight. Free flight is unavailable in version 1.0. This fictional simulation is for entertainment and does not certify real drone training or guarantee real-world flight safety.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: X at none against Drone Worlds's shown. X also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Drone Worlds's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
