Prepare for Impact – Action Game Review
Prepare for Impact is a Action/Education/Simulation game from Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica – Universita' degli Studi di Udine, first launched in 17th March 2016.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 1,909+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Prepare for Impact Stand Out
This 3D game has been developed in the context of an international, aviation safety research project (http://hcilab.uniud.it/aviation), aimed at exploring possible new approaches to safety education, and featured on important media such as TIME, Popular Mechanics, Discovery Channel, and Fox News (see http://hcilab.uniud.it/aviation/media.html).
Prepare for Impact is the world-first game that reproduces the experience of real aircraft emergencies from the passenger’s viewpoint, with the highest fidelity allowed by today’s mobile devices. In each virtual emergency experience, the player can try first-hand right and wrong actions that a passenger can take, and see the positive or negative consequences those actions have.
Your goal is to take all the right decisions to come out from the plane unharmed as fast as possible.
The different levels of "Prepare for Impact" depict major types of emergencies, such as in-flight decompression, ground collision, runway overrun, water landing, crash landing, rejected take-off, and fumes in the cabin. Moreover, they are able to simulate the different threats that can make aircraft evacuation more complex, such as fire, smoke in the cabin, water, unusable exits, and others. The latest version of the app also includes a level editor that allows players to create personalized evacuation scenarios.
The game also offers the option of publishing your best evacuation results on world leaderboards.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

WOOWWW IVE BEEN ON A PLANE 4 times and never crashed so we will do the thing they did for tips best game for irl planes ive played this when we were 2.
When we were five we had this game now Im 11 this is the best game who is our favorite game is the best thing to practice.
Add a 737 add more achievements add a Q400 add levels to Q400 & 737.
It teaches you how to survive a plane crash.It makes you go through a test to see what you know.
Ok so can you add a dc-9 and dc-8 and dc-10 also boeing 737its realistic add tupolev-114.
We like This game and fun and fire and plane crash ive alway wanted to play.
First off this game is amazing! We think a idea for this game is have the option to be on the plane by yourself plus the cabin crew and the pilot. Second we would like to see if you could wear the oxygen mask and the life jacket at the same time that would be cool in our mind! Lastly we would like to see if you could inflate your life jacket on the plane if you are by yourself! But this game is amazing though.
PERFECT PERFECT, PEFECT! We love these Simulators! Instead of, " raise a cute kitten simulator" WE HAVE THIS! It helps us learn and others how to survive a plane crash. Please download this, if you get in a plane crash.. THANK ME LATER! Some of our suggestions are, car crash. Since some of us travel in a car.. Also! A train crash, since we travel in those too! We would like to see these suggestions in ur game! And please don't stop these games.
If the rating was from 1 to 10 we would give it a 20 we love this game it show you the mistakes and the players can know what to do later doing the right decision. We just wish the was more levels to play and more planes.
Ever since we were a kid, we used to play this game for a long time and it was so much fun. We had an android back then. Now Im a teenager, we now have an iPhone and we totally forgot about this game. We were glad to see this game on the App Store and replay it as a teenager. It brought back so many memories of our childhood. This game is amazing and thanks to the developer who created this game. This is one of the best games Ive ever played.
It might need a bit work but they fr added the Tenerife airport disaster!?!?, but all and all its a good game.
Hi we you should add more planes to the custom levels.
This is a great game this game taught us pretty much all you need to know about landings and its nice for a game that can be a good game but also teach you life lessons.
We Mean, Change The Plane In The Plane Crash Maker. All Tho, Awesome Game.
First of all, you should be able to change the plane crash editor plane you wanna be on 787 dream liner 747 with a top deck eight 380 that would be a crazy improvement. A-340 and should also have the 737s oh yeah and for Air Safety World, you should do a 737 900 ER in both games, more embrairs.
- We thought we would play as a flight attendant 2. We wish we could choose the plane 3. Needs more levels.
It has really good potential. We love the idea and the fun ability to experiment with time and see what happens. Now, what can be fixed: -Graphics. Low poly even on high. -Hire different voice actors to give more diversity. -Update interactions. We find it very difficult to move around. -Updated destruction and blood. Would be nice. -And add more scenarios. Hijacking, hostage situation, altitude loss, the plane splitting apart. Overall great game an we love the time you all put into it. If you are actually reading this and not just using an pre typed answers, that is cool and we respect you. Please take our ideas into consideration.
We did not get your reponse but you make more realistic animations like in the missions on custom and add aircraft select for custom thanks if you do.

We really like the game its very entertaining and educational theres like no problems but the problem is more aircrafts theres only Boeing 777 and airbus A320 only two aircrafts we would like an aircraft selector for every one to pick an aircraft.
Is this a bug, or what happens in the game? Why cant we unlock the level editor.
The game is too hard. We dont even know how to do it. Im just writing.
When we bought this game we thought it would be so much fun trying to text our knowledge but when we completed the game we realized that they probably wont add any more levels. Around a few months later they still havent done anything to the game.
This game is a no Internet game.
Love your game it's a nice game.
Us and our brother always used to pretend to be in a real airplane crash, this game gets prepared just in case.
It teaches you how to survive a plane crash.It makes you go through a test to see what you know.
We played this game a lot and the graphics are pretty decent while it is really fun to play! Even though the purpose of the game is to learn how to survive a crash properly! Still this is really fun! Great game.
The students actually did a good job.
We took the test and we got a 50%.
We totally love this game we are so impressed when we got this game we were like holy sheeeeeesh AWESOME AMAZING HARDLY ANY ADS ACTULLY NO ADS.
We love this game so much! It is educational, yet sometimes even scary because these are situations that could happen in real life. We always have anxiety when going on planes, and because of this game we are learning so much. There are so many great things to saylike how it tells your errors when you do something incorrectly so you can learn for the next time. We also appreciate the death scenes when you do something incorrectly. This shows the severity of getting even one thing wrong when trying to evacuate. So glad we came across this app, thank you to the amazing team who made this, spreading more safety and knowledge into the world. Happy and safe flights to everyone.
We need more planes. Make a section where you can choose the plane, add the B737M8, L-1011, MD-11, B772, B78X, BCS2, 1, 3, B748, 744, A388, and more others. Also add a dialogue where you can also speak.
The walking speed is very slow, but we dont mind. Every thing else is perfect. (Even being able to yell at other people if they take their luggage.) This is definitely a FIVE star game! Good job developer (s).
We played this as a child and we are revisiting it now, 5 years later. Considering this game was probably made by a single professor, the quality is incredible.
Can you make it that when you make level there sinking plane and can you add desert plss.
We really love this game we completed all levels and it is very realistic gameplay and does not freeze but it need an extra emergency we think we would be better if you guys added a hijacking emergency we think that would be fun. Thanks for reading.
This game is the best. We really like to learn to keep ourselves safe in a real plane accident. Really there are no errors in this game. We really hope u add more stuff so it can be so fun!!!! Thanks! Keep going developer.
This game is perfect! Only one thing. When creating a game,it has everything! Expect one thing. You have to pick a plane.we get bored when we have the airbus one,we want to pick the plane from the airbus,boing and the other one.but everything else is perfect.
We know it is for learning purpose but it is also fun!!!this is good game.
Gus if Robert get it for us please help us to help help for help us with help us.
Well what Im saying is like for the level editor if you can choose what plane for that emergency like be able to choose like a 777 for a water landing or a that others regional jet thats new forgot the name oops but we think that would be a really good update.
This app is really good,it is a good source of education on what to do during an Aircraft emergency. Just an announcement: we found silly mistake in the Water Landing if you look out the window during bracing,you can see the plane is falling straight downit should be going forward but down,like gliding.anywaysthis is a really good app to get,we have already recommended it to a person already,the chances of us doing this again are very high.Thanks hcilab.uniudI will use this the next time we go on a flight.
Very cool game; But it should have more levels, we personally like the game aclot, but it would be much better if it had more time to do something for example more steps. Anyway, we suggest to install the game; Thats good.
This was the most fun game we have ever played. But we kinda wish there were more stories to play. Other than that we love it. Thank you so much for creating this.
Its good because its crashing and we survived.
Can you add the 777 and the embraer 145 to the level editor it would be awsome.
So first off, the rounds you can edit go to the evacuation part, not the events that lead up to the emergency like the beginner levers. Next the graphics, well there not bad but not good either. Last but not least, you only have one plane option in the edit levels. If you are the developer please respond and improve the game in the ways we suggested. Thank you for your time.
We are glad we downloaded it cause we are going on a flight soon for work and we were looking for procedures that need to be done.
Our name poop In this game is poop.
