One compass. The whole world. You stand in one city and the ticket names another. Spin the compass toward it, lock your heading and watch your plane fly the real route across the globe. The Earth is round, so every city has two right answers: the short way along the great circle, or the long way around. Both score in full. HOW IT PLAYS • 700 levels. Each target becomes your next starting city. • Within 5° is a Perfect landing. Keep hitting to multiply your points. • Three misses end the run. Close the app any time; your run is saved. JOKERS FOR TRICKY CITIES • Call the Tower, Binoculars, Sextant and Spare Stamp. • A daily gift restocks jokers you've run out of. DAILY ROUTE AND CHALLENGES • A new daily route every day: everyone flies the same 700 cities, and your first flight is free. • Challenge friends with a link: they fly your exact route, and the route's board shows who flew it best. • Weekly and all-time Game Center leaderboards, plus achievements. AN AIRMAIL WORLD Paper maps, boarding-pass tickets, rubber stamps and a passport page for every run. Plays in English and Turkish. Passports start a run and refill over time. Miles earned in flight buy passports, unlimited play and jokers in Duty Free; miles and packs are also available as optional in-app purchases. Map data: Natural Earth (public domain). Business Class is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly with a free first week for new subscribers, or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple ID; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage it in your App Store account settings.

Flick a ring and it spins by itself, clicking round until something stops it. When its gap reaches a buckle, the strap lets go. But the strap does not vanish: it stays on the other ring as a button, and that button will stop that ring later. So the question is never "what can I free?" It is "who lets go, and in what order?" HOW IT PLAYS • Flick a ring left or right. It turns until it stops: that is one turn. • A gap that reaches a buckle lets the strap go. • The strap stays on the neighbour as a button. A button stops its ring at the next buckle. • A ring with no strap left flies off the table. Clear them all. • Clear levels to collect stamps, then replay them to master the fewest-turn solution. No timer, no lives, and undo is always free. WHAT IS INSIDE • 150 levels in 5 worlds, with a best-move target to master on every puzzle. • No boosters. There is no hammer to buy and no level that needs one. • A new daily tangle every day, with gentler starter puzzles while you learn and tougher challenges as you progress. Standard daily puzzles include a Game Center ranking. • A streak that rewards coming back, with freezes for the days you miss. • Earn your first album stamp after three levels, then collect 15 section stamps, 7 weekday postmarks and feats for playing well. • Hints that point the way and never turn a ring for you. • If a position can no longer be cleared, the game tells you at once and takes you back in one press. • Thread, leather, buttons and cloth: a craft table you can almost touch. • Works offline. Plays on iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape. FAIR BY DESIGN The game is free, with ads between some levels after the first ten. One purchase removes them for good. There is no game currency, nothing random to buy and nothing to wait for.
