![]() ![]() After about 10 minutes though you suddenly realize there is a lot more going on here then at first glance you realised. The basic operation of the game is this A plane lands in one of the air ports, you check for available jobs which are either people or cargo that need to go somewhere, load your plane, decide on the best route by tapping other unlocked air ports (you can make journeys as long or as short as you want) and that's it. I personally don't usually enjoy this type of game very much but the way this game has been put together just makes it unbelievably addictive. Pocket Panes is a simulation of running an air line (albeit a very cute air line) which will put a lot of people off from even downloading it in the first place. When ever simulation games try to inject narrative and objectives into the mix it usually waters down the core experience so I think the devs have made the right decision in just letting the player do what they want. ![]() After that it's all up to you and I love it this way. ![]() There is a very short tutorial at the start of the game which has the only dialogue I have come across in the game. It is up to you the player to come up with your own stories using your imagination. Pocket Planes is a sandbox and there is no story here. It reminds me of the original Theme Park in this regard which might be the other reason I love this game so much. All the controls are laid out on the bottom of the screen. ![]() It really is so endearing and instantly appeals to the older gamer in me.There really isn't a whole lot to pocket planes too, it keeps things very simple which is another reason it's so much fun. It is presented in basic 8-bit and everything from the people to the planes to the clouds in the sky look sweet. Pocket Planes uses possibly the cutest art style and graphics I have ever seen. It's a casual air line simulator which when written down makes it sound like the most boring game ever devised but this little game has so much character it's impossible not to love it. You see, you don't actually do very much on Pocket Planes. Pocket Planes is the most addictive game I have played on any console or device in a very long time and it's hard to understand the reasons why.
