Air Traffic Master

Take the tower. Planes, gliders and helicopters stream in from every edge of the screen, and only your finger stands between a calm shift and a mid-air collision. Draw a route, guide each aircraft to its own runway, keep them apart, and bring every last one home.

HOW IT PLAYS

Swipe a line from any aircraft to its runway: red planes to the red runway, yellow light planes to the yellow strip, helicopters to the helipad. A route locks when it reaches the runway's landing end from the right direction. Red runways carry a triangle and yellow runways a disc, so you can tell them apart without relying on colour. Easy to learn — then the traffic builds, routes tangle, and one collision ends your shift.

CAREER: 32 MISSIONS, 96 GOLD STARS

Four airfields, eight missions each. Land the numbers, keep a clean streak, survive the rush hour, bring the medevac home before its clock runs out. Complete a mission to unlock the next, and earn up to three gold stars on each — the briefing shows exactly what every star needs. Is your best on a mission one or two stars? On its result or briefing, an optional ad can add a silver star (+1 ★, one per mission); silver stars from the first three airfields help unlock Desert Outpost.

DAILY ORDERS

DAILY ORDERS brings three new orders every day: one easy, one medium and one hard. Finish one for the day's red stamp in your logbook, or all three for a gold stamp, and climb the ranks. Optional reminders can nudge you after a few days away; turn them off in Settings > NOTIFICATIONS.

FOUR AIRFIELDS

• Forest Airpark — a quiet strip by a winding river

• Glacier Bay — icy approaches over a frozen bay

• Tropic Shore — beach runways with thatched hut hangars

• Desert Outpost — runways among the dunes (unlocks with 36 gold and silver stars from the first three airfields and stays open if you unlocked it before; locked in endless mode until then)

WEATHER THAT CHANGES THE GAME

Career missions bring wind that speeds aircraft up or slows them down and pushes idle ones off course, storm cells that strike aircraft flying into them and erase their routes, fog banks and sandstorms that hide the traffic, and night shifts where lit runways show the way. A picture card explains each hazard the first time you meet it, and FIELD GUIDE in the pause menu keeps them all.

SIX KINDS OF AIRCRAFT

Prop planes, light planes and helicopters fly in every mode; fast jets, heavy cargo planes and medevac helicopters on a countdown of about 30 seconds join them in career missions.

MADE WITH CARE

A warm retro look — stitched leather, polished brass, cream logbook paper — with painterly top-down art, runway lights that guide you in, music and haptic feedback. Plays on phones and tablets, and works offline.

• One-finger controls

• Endless mode with classic traffic and a high score for every airfield

• 2× fast-forward when the skies are quiet

• Rewind after a crash by watching an optional video ad

• No account, no in-app purchases

ADS

Air Traffic Master is supported by ads: an ad may appear when you leave the game-over screen, and REWIND and the +1 ★ silver star (both marked WATCH AD) are optional rewarded videos; if no ad is available, REWIND still works. The game itself plays offline; ads need a connection.
