Flight Control HD

As far as I can tell this (along with the PS3 port) are the only remaining releases of the original Flight Control that haven't been delisted by EA. None of the clones or remakes are as good as this version and if you were a fan of the game 15 years ago it's still just as good. Bare in mind that this is basically just a mobile game with very simple game play and graphics, but it's charm and fun casual puzzle feel makes it enjoyable to play. I had no issues running this on a modern Windows 11 computer in 2025.

Text Review: Pros: -Clean, light, colourful, simple visuals (A slightly more elaborate take on colours and shapes. Reminds me of a Facebook game) -Nice, relaxing, old-timey, clarinet-heavy music track (Only the one track but the game is short enough that it won't outstay its welcome) -Brilliant, simple fun that can escalate quickly like a true score chase and it stays relaxing even during the more chaotic moments -Some levels attempt to mix things up like the airshow level but this is kind of rare and honestly I don't know what the heavy wind in the snow level I showed does -So short nothing really qualifies as a drawback unless you play it longer than its short natural lifespan probably Maybes: -No story (At most a level themed snack and success exclamations) -Score chase focus with no distraction but short and won't outstay its welcome Cons: -Next level short... you can complete it within a flight Video Review: https://youtu.be/ZVNBz6OK7VQ Short Review: https://youtube.com/shorts/BbgTEFAp2To

I really liked this back in the day. Apparently it's no longer installable/runnable standalone and requires some older .dll files to be manually added, so, I can't recommend right now. Hopefully it now has an Endless Mode like Mini Metro (where if you get a crash it just sets you back a bit).
