About

Runway Rush

Read full description

You are the tower. One thumb, one airport, everything moving at once. ■ Swipe, don't draw Hold an arrival and carry your finger to the runway you want it on. That is the clearance. The aircraft then flies itself onto that runway's approach procedure. No instruction gets second-guessed. Whether it is safe is your call - if a near miss or a runway conflict actually happens, that is one strike. Two strikes and the shift is over. ■ Takeoffs are a timing game Swipe a departure from its gate to a runway to start taxiing. It will not launch on its own. At the hold line, swipe it onto the runway again and it goes - so pick your gap between arrivals. Depart from the runway that matches its exit heading for a DIRECT! bonus. Alternate a landing and a takeoff on the same runway for a RUNWAY FLOW bonus. ■ Never unwinnable, never easy - Speed control (SLOW / NORM / FAST) lets you build your own in-trail spacing - Let them bunch up and you get a spacing go-around. Out of options? DIVERT - LAND BY slots, fuel states and emergencies keep changing what goes first - 13 operational events: runway inspections, closures, wind shifts, rain cells, snow removal, bird activity, FOD, taxiway closures, priority flights and more. Every one of them is announced before it happens - nothing turns into an accident out of nowhere - Night operations cut your visibility, and taxiway lights can fail ■ 26 airports, 1000 levels From a two-runway training field to a mega hub built only for level 1000. More runways, crossing runways, and wind that flips which direction is in use. Every layout is original - no real-world airport is copied. ■ Modes - PUZZLE: 18 handcrafted problems. Wrong order, no solution - DAILY CHALLENGE: one shift a day, the same for everyone - RUSH HOUR: how many aircraft can you clear in 90 seconds? - WEEKLY CHALLENGE: a longer special shift, new every week - ENDLESS: traffic keeps building. Go until it breaks - FINAL SHIFT: the last shift of each airport - night, weather and inspections ■ Collect and progress Controller Rank, 28 achievements, 14 badges, Airport Mastery and a world map. An 8-category aircraft collection. Coins only buy looks (airport themes, aircraft skins, towers, runway effects, trails) - never difficulty. ■ Also - Plays offline (ads need a connection) - English and Japanese - Reduce Motion and small-screen support - Stars: 1 for clearing, 2 for a clean shift, 3 for the bonus goal This game is a work of fiction. It is not connected to any real airport, airline, flight number or air traffic control service, and it is not intended for real controller training. Contains ads (rewarded video and interstitial) and in-app purchases (ad removal, coin packs and cosmetic packs).
