Hello Tower 4+

The interface and concept are good and I understand that for the mainstream, the intensity of gameplay is an essential component. I think the developer would be able to open up a bigger market if more realism were added in: more realistic taxi speeds, delays before pushback and taxi, as well as realistic turnaround times. This would make the app more appealing to people who like slow, realistic play, with more options to control the flow rate of traffic (to a numbered rate that reflects the real life traffic flows at the airports, the figures for which I’m sure could be looked up). So, good app and worth the money, with potential to be even better.

The game is amazing, but there is a glitch which sets the runway timer to zero before 30 seconds. The arrow is green, but if you take off, you fail the level. This is really annoying, especially 15 minutes into a scenario.

This game is fantastic, the concept is brilliant and it is well executed. The UI is simple but informative.

One thing that lets it down is an apparent bug where the “departure separation” 30 second timer sometimes fails to appear, making it look like you can clear a flight for departure when doing so actually fails the game because you haven’t given the required level of separation between aircraft taking off.

Another slight problem on the Heathrow/London level is that aircraft entering the playable area from the top of the screen can sometimes crash with aircraft held on the taxiway, also ending the game. This feels a little unfair as I believe in reality the aircraft would either already be under the control of the tower or would at least require their clearance to enter those particular taxiways.

This game is so good I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the developer’s page on the App Store in case they release any more games in the future.
