![]() NimbleBit have continued with the cutesy 8-bit style graphics of their previous title to great effect. They’re used to construct and upgrade all of your planes (done by collecting each part or spending a bit more to get the whole thing) but are rewarded for quite a few deliveries so you’re never in too dire need of them. That’s right, Bux are once again featured as the premium currency which you earn slowly or spend your real-world dollars to bolster your reserves.Īnd you will need quite a few Bux as you go along. While watching your planes fly - which is mostly just watching the timer count down the minutes until it lands - you can tap to collect coins and Bux which float by every few seconds. Once your planes are in the air, you can leave the game and wait for a notification to tell you they’ve arrived, or observing the clouds fly past. ![]() Further destinations net you more coins, while each aircraft has a different capacity and range - the latter which can be upgraded at your leisure. Gameplay is simple: a plane is waiting to go at one of your airports and you need to load it up with some passengers and/or cargo and send it on its merry way. After about level 10 or so you’ll be building planes that can’t go to smaller cities which is yet another thing you’ll need to manage. Ideally, the less stops the better but a lot of smaller ‘craft just don’t have the range to make long journeys without a bunch of hops. The strategy comes in choosing the airports you buy and the flightpaths you make. Starting with small planes and trade-routes and working your way up to mammoth mega-carriers. Your airline begins in one small corner of the - flat, non-wraparound - world and the idea is to expand your dominion to cover the “globe”. Although you may class it a spiritual successor, there is a bit of forward thinking and strategy involved in this title. However this is not just a rehashed version of last years hit tower management game. ![]() I knew it I saw what 3 months of Tiny Tower did to me and still I downloaded it. ![]() I’m sad to say that I’m in the addict category. Some people just don’t get it, and some people will be hopelessly addicted. I will preface this review by mentioning that Pocket Planes is not for everyone. Have you all got your life back after Tiny Tower? Good, now go out and grab yourself NimbleBit’s latest addition to the 8-bit gaming world, Pocket Planes. ![]()
