Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We already got lots of upgrades after a day of playing and so good.
Ive been looking for another game like this for a decade now and cant find anything. Such a fun way to pass the time.
This game is super fun. We 100% suggest playing.
This game was our childhood favorite, we cant complain, nothings changed ever since. We love it.
Ok the game is perfect Im just going to say the only issue is how short the game is still very fun although we say this game is worth 3 dollars so buy it.
This is what you say a good game?well no…it is a great game!The basics is you throw a paper airplane and see what happens!no not really it is much more than that,You can upgrade your plane to make it fly further,You will be able to control your plane to make it fly,You will be able to rev-up your fire engine and much more.(though it kinda feels like a flash game considering how fast you go through it but it is still a great game.).
We're trying to nab the #1 spot on the leaderboard and we've passed the #1 player, who has a 40,000m score, but GameCenter won't recognize our ~45,000m score! What gives.
We managed to get all the upgrades besides the Frog upgrade. We think it's pointless. We have 30k and we refuse to use it on the frog. We need upgrades that are good or turn some of the utilities into upgrades. Thanks for the good work. FLY HIGH.
We played this in our childhood, its great.
Great game you'll never stop playing……….. Gotta play more.
For $1 we have no complaints. No ads and it keeps you busy for hours. It doesn't even really matter whether or not they update it considering the low price. Wish there were more games like this to be honest.
Im thankful this game lives on post-Flash. The music, sounds, and visuals are a warm blanket. The issue is: our longest flight of 46,805 should be atop the leaderboard. We think the dead even 40,000 current leader holder must be a fabrication. Another commenter had a similar issue. Spent 50 minutes to get that score (on a single flight) just to not be recognized. Kinda lame. Still, overall great nonetheless.
We played the computer one a long time ago but now we love it on mobile we mean right now we got 9853.51 m and a whopping $16,457.00 . Now we know some of you are probably gonna complain about our review or make some remarks but if not thank you for not we guess. Anyway we got sidetracked , we like this game and thank you for making it on mobile.
We wish we could have more options for customizing our plane.
The original version of the game is great and so is this one, it's just some changes that bug us like the mystery upgrade is only one animal now and it's stupid, it used to be fun to see it spin around as a little head on the computer but now it's just a frog and doesn't go as far. Also, the fuel consumption is just obviously annoying and needs to be changed if they ever update it again. Lastly, pretty much any graphical change between the computer version and this one we do not like at all, for instance once you finish the game and you're in endless it used to switch between all the places, but now it's just one like Olympic track or something we didn't really care that much.
Whoever added the jet streams to this game has such a sad life.
The games is so great but we have flight control maxed out and we cant go up or down with controling it with or without fuel also there should be diving stalls cause we went straight down nose down but we did not stall.
Its fun to play and occupies time but you cannot get the sprinter challenge. It is impossible to achieve. Very frustrating.
Great game but the wind stream mechanic (that you claim gives you time to avoid) has no indication of when and where its going to happen. And Im tired of getting grows where we literally go 5m/s the entire time with a fully upgraded plane. Its irritating as all can be. Make it so it takes a lesser percentage of your speed or make it so the wind sock we purchased actually works and appears.
It's a pretty good app but the game on the website is better. It's easier to not use fuel on the website: you can easily return to a 'neutral' flight path and this makes long flights much easier. On your tablet you're almost always going to have a tilt and thus you're going to be using fuel, which shortens your flight considerably. Also, something about the physics of the game feel different from the PC version, im not sure what, but it doesn't feel as good.
This app would be great if they solved the tilt control issue whereby fuel is constantly going down even when you are trying to maintain level flight. This game would be incredibly good if they corrected that one issue.
Why is the music not playing? There are only SFX. We miss the music of flight.
The game is great but the fact that there is a mechanic that slows a fully upgraded plane to 2 meters per second is ridiculous. There should at least be some type of counter to the jet stream. Silly mechanic that makes us frequently drop the game for periods at a time.
There needs to be buttons for tilt control. Because the current setup is based on your phones tilt, the fuel used to tilt is always being used rather than only when activating it when you want to steer. Its also impossible to get space stars without wasting nearly all of your fuel, the online version was wayyyyyyy better. This one is super lame and a waste of money.
We really enjoy this game and we hope a second version is released anytime soon. Although the campaign mode was fun as we'll we wish it was a more longer version of it.
This is a very soothing game. Loved the flash version online, now we can play it anywhere.
We played it on the computer a month ago and when we were looking up games on our iPad we were really happy when we found this app. We finished the game on the computer but we had to redo it all over and we're happy we have it on our iPad now.
Wish there was continued development on the game with more levels/items/anything.
We just beat the game and put a new texture and it keeps crashing please fix it again idk whats wrong.
We love this game! We found it on the computer awhile back and we found that there was an app.we totally recommend that you get this game it's so fun and addicting! One thing though we think that the plane should have more styles like in the computer version. But overall it's a great game. (-:.
It's such a fun app! It's afflicting! We live playing it and we don't even like paper airplanes.
LOL im addicted this game is awesome.
Please add more stages, plane designs and story. Right now it's a great game but it could be better.
This game is the best use of our money.
This is an amazing game and a fun story. Get it now, we promise it is worth the whole 99 cents.
This game is really fun. It is also addicting. We played the pc version. And it was fun too. We really recommend this app. It was worth $0.99.
Totally what we were looking for. A running game with a end.
Super entertaining for us and our family probably the best one yet !:).
Love the game and the music feel bad for sandy.
This is the worlds greatest game.we love the upgrades from acceleration to rainbow stars.But what's the mystery prize.
The upgrades are so cool but we think you need to make more in an update The frog upgrade is so unexpected but Awesome! It's worth the money -Tru eko.
Armor games published this but Krin Studios made this game. We fancy of you played the sonny games or singed games that was the same guy. Jakrin a.k.a. Krin Studios or creator of this game has cancer so even if this is not a perfect match for you please buy it as cancer is very costly to cure. Now to the review. This is by far on elf the best games on the App Store as well as it being simple and easy to learn but hard to master. This is an amazing game and everyone should buy it.
We remember first finding this on the armor games website. Unfortunately, we never could make it to the later stages due to a computer problem even though we adored it. Now it's nearly a year later, and we decide to look up games again on armor games. Finding the game again and realizing it's an app was perfect since still our computer couldn't take it. Bought it right away, and we're so happy! Yes, it is a fast game to play, but we tend to like shorter game plays. It's perfect for playing on car rides and in our break time. We can only hope armor games puts up more of our favorite games into app version.
Very fun and addicting game. A little too addictive.
Amazing game. Simple but beautifully balanced and addictive. Flying long distances takes careful control and is quite the zen experience.
If we could rate higher than five stars we would! It's a great game. We love the message of a the little girl just wanting to see her mother on Christmas. It is very well made and very beautiful. We love this.
We've had so much fun with this game but after you upgrade everything it gets boring, add more please.
This is great game but it doesn't support iPhone 5.PLEASE FIX.
We've had more fun with this game than most. Weird we know.
You are a very talented developer. Keep it up.
