I love this!
It fun and entertaining and it is very good
Happy days
This is a great game my dad loves it, keep up the good work
Thanks for brining it back!
I’ve missed Flight Control, I’m not sure if devs bought the IP or it’s just a spiritual successor - thank you for bringing the game back with your own twist and ideas. The game is great. The only problem I have is when Ads play there UI elements to close the app and return to the game are too small that it doesn’t register my tapping.
Great idea but way too fast
There should be different speed controls. This is just silly without speed options
Why is the tornado in the runway?
I do love this game, but ads and the tornado was in the runway and I tell the plane to go. It goes a different way even when I’m not doing anything to tell it to move a different way.
A good yam
This is a good game to relax your brain
Greed
IAP brainrot kills another good game
Fun and addicting… too many ads
This would easily be my favorite game app if it weren’t for the frequent ads that are almost impossible to exit. The actual gameplay is fun and challenging. If it weren’t for the ads, I would’ve given it five stars.
Fun game, but
It’s a very fun game! I enjoy it very much. However, there are times it is absolutely impossible. Also, ads crash it. Particularly the ad for Google. Once again, an ad has crashed the game! If you’ve got to have the GD ads then at least make sure they don’t crash the GD game!
Way too hard!
I like this game a lot. But Even on easy mode it is EXTREMELY hard. Too many plans or flocks of birds come in and it’s easy to loose track of them all. I wish easy mode was actually easy and we had a bit more room on the map
Amazing, addictive game!
I’ve unlocked the entire series and absolutely love this game. Some levels are more challenging to get into a rhythm than others, but some levels I could probably play hours for if I could keep focused that long. I don’t know how easier or difficult this would be to implement, but if there was a way to have time dilation option of 1.5 speed, that would be appreciated . Sometimes, 1 feels too slow, but 2is just too frenetic. I’m also grateful for the option of a one time purchase to remove ads. I did this very quickly, and appreciate a one time purchase rather than a subscription.
Meh
Not that well thought out
🎮🛩️I love it but A few suggestions✈️🎮
I love the game but I wish that you were able to stay where your high score was so then you didn’t have to start all the way over because it’s really hard to get all the planes landed and also get to other worlds. That was one suggestion but my second suggestion is you shouldn’t make it such a big number to get planes landed because it’s really hard for me so yeah, could you help me with that please I love this game and if you could change those suggestions then that would make this game Epic🔮
Beware forced purchases
I am disappointed that this game seems to be geared towards the selling of "rescue teams", or lives, now. I enjoyed the original, and to an extent, enjoy this version, but it is almost impossible to get a high score without making purchases. Sure, one expects the game to get harder as you go on, but to suddenly throw an excess of planes into the mix, some of them emerging right in front of other aircraft, within a few minutes of starting in "easy" mode is just unfair. Surely it should be possible with a paid version to play for at least fifteen minutes or so before that dreaded crashing sound and the suggestion to make more purchases. I am just playing it less and less. The two stars are for the basic idea and the first five minutes of gameplay.
Could be better
I think this is just a 2D ripoff of Airport Madness and you gat pretty board of it really quickly. There is too much planes and no levels. You also only have 1 island and the volcano and crashes ruin everything.
Very fun
Every time I go home I play this game 🛩️✈️🙂❤️

Fun classic reborn
I’m glad to see Flight Control reborn as Planes Control. Fun game. One request/question: is there a way to say a game you’re currently playing so you can resume later. I had a game with 1000+ landing paused, but accidentally swipe closed the app and lost those hours of effort!
Not saving score
Multiple times I have beat my high score, but it hasn’t saved. Very frustrating
Record scores don’t update
I had two much higher scores and when I come back to the game the record doesn’t update or save those game scores.
Just a Little Suggestion
The game is amazing, but there is one thing that I want the most in this game. Custom levels. If it’s a lot of hard work, you don’t have to, again, it’s just a suggestion.
Progress doesn’t save
Fix your game
Impossible
I played the game and it is literally impossible, but so so fun. I definitely recommend
Not worth it
Its very complicated and not fun to play. I miss old game from 10 year back
Maps are too zoomed out
I downloaded this out of nostalgia for a game that’s no longer available called Flight Control. It’s essentially the same game mechanics and style (same developer or they just stole the look), but the maps are too zoomed out. I’d like to be closer to map or be able to zoom in and out.
I love this game
Recommend. I recommend this game because it’s tricky but in a fun way. You can choose easy hard or really hard. And me and my mom both play it because it’s an awesome game.
Seriously?
I’m not sure where all the 5 star reviews are coming from. A complete waste of time
Good but please add a feature where you create your own account for this game
Hi This Game Is Very Good but please add a feature where you create your own account for this game. Thank You.
Could Be Great without the Red Strobe
I played this game for a few hours, paid to remove ads: all was good, except one extremely annoying thing: the red warning halo around the planes. I can’t find a way to turn it off, it appears even when I know for a fact that the planes are not going to crash, and when it goes away it makes a strobe-like ripple. I think if I play it too much I will start having seizures from all these useless red flashes. So I deleted. It has so much potential, please fix. Thanks.
Very difficult
The original was better. Difficulty is too high even on easy. Might appeal those who can spend hours on it. It’s not as pleasant as the original Flight Control app from 2009 that it is trying to copy.
Amazing game, only 4 (small) complaints
This game is phenomenal. When I first downloaded this game, I thought it would be one of the games I would play when I had no WiFi and nothing else to do. I did NOT expect this to be by far my favorite game on my phone. The 13 main levels are amazing and they each have their own gimmick, from avoiding storm clouds, to blizzards knocking runways offline to fighting forest fires to desert/naval combat to defending earth vs aliens. And that’s not even including the 9 time machine and the 6 HD levels. The sound and art are also amazing, and the music, well, I could write an entire paragraph on how good it is alone. It’s even free from the problems that commonly plague other mobile games. Ads are decently sparse (and even when they are there, they’re extremely short), no money is required to unlock every level (albeit with a bit of grinding), and I haver never encountered a single bug, glitch crash or any sort of malfunction. I just can’t describe my love for this game However, no game is perfect, and neither is this one, but I do have 4 small changes to improve it a tad bit 1, add the hd levels to phone versions of this game. I don’t see why not to adding them. If the screen size is an issue, just say a warning like “these maps are very large and may not work well on smaller devices” or something 2, perhaps there could be a button to show advanced stats for each level such as your best score for each difficulty, and your longest game time. 3, increase the rescue team limit (or remove it entirely) and add additional ways to gain rescue teams, such as being awarded one for every 100 plane you land or by watching an advertisement 4, very small one that annoys me, the art for the Korea level in the time machine uses the USSR flag, not the Korean one PS, please explain what the blue plane does in alien attack, Thanks! Edit: I learned that the Korea level using the USSR flag was intentional as the planes belonged to the USSR
Too many loooong ads.
Ads are long and painful. Ruined experience
Fun but challenging 😮💨
Awsome and hard
Too much spawning!
The planes spawn at a very high pace Which makes it very hard to direct the planes without a collision
BLOWN IT
Was a fairly good game until you threw in the ads. Bye.
Best app
Only 5 stars
Pop ups
Pop how are constant
Hard to score this
As a game it’s okay, but it’s frustrating as it’s unrealistic I just want to have “flow” but with an edge to arcade it’s just annoying. Just want to be able to draw circles stack the planes and get them landing but there Is to much else going on with too many landing points, unrealistic speeds and such. Game play, graphics and sounds are all good, can’t fault it technically. I’m sure lots will have fun with it.
OK for 5 mins
It’s OK for about 5 mins. Don’t like the forced ads instead of optional ads. Deleting after this comment.
Nice
I like the game but I am not good at it so it can be better
Love this game
Been playing this for a long time, and still greatly enjoy it.
ITS BAD
WHAT DID I DO WHY IS NOT 3D???
Good game but missing something
No planes explode nor loose wings tails niether so add plane damage pls
Buggy, too many adds. CONTAINS VIRUSES.
Rip off of the originals game. Very buggy and too fast spaced within the first 10 planes. Limited logic. Also has ads that ask for money, try to sign you up to subscription, go to websites which try and download virus like files in you phone and ask you to complete surveys and download apps.
Ok
On iPhone X it’s impossible to drag an incoming plane from the top of the screen because the phone notification screen comes down when you drag from the top
Retired ATC
Almost as fun as the real thing.
Stupid spawning of incoming plans
There’s not enough space to fly planes and it just keeps spawning planes to the point you can’t complete it as there’s no room. I’ve never deleted a game as quick as this before
Enjoyable but there’s no completion goals
I do enjoy this game but there’s no ‘winning’ or completing a round. The planes just keep coming and the only goal is a high score. If they created levels with different ranks where you had to land a set number of planes or/and land them within a time limit it would be much more fun
It's ok
I mean it's a fine game but just not my type
A good game, but a blatant copy
There’s a reason this is a good game - the core mechanics and much of the visuals are a complete and blatant copy of Flight Control, which was an early App Store classic. Even down to the congratulations that flash up on a successful landing, and the size and speed of the various planes.
