From Reflexive Entertainment and Southwind Games, AIRPORT MANIA is a new and unique game. In this game, you are the airport controller, where you manage the arrival and departure of all planes. Planes have temperaments shown in their expressions, you have to accommodate all of them in a fast and timely manner or else you lose the planes and lose the points.
The game is easy to play. The tutorial option runs you through the game, although you could easily play the game even without it.
There are 8 stages with several games per stage. A game has a target score to be finished within a set time, found in the left upper corner. A bar at the upper middle of the screen shows your progress. As you score more, you achieve EXPERT, MASTER, SUPREME scores.
The more points you score, the more items you can purchase to improve your airport. These includes terminal ports, defogger machines, ice breakers, repainting stations, parking slots, fueling and repair station upgrades. All in all, these improves the efficiency of your airport, ultimately enabling you to service more planes and faster.
Awards are given to your airport. These are stored in your AWARDS ROOM where you could even take a photograph, to brag to your friends about your achievements.
On finishing the game, a new option PAPER PLANES become available. Instead of the planes with facial expressions, your planes are now paper planes in several colors. The original planes with faces are cute, so I can’t see why changing them to paper planes is any reward. Besides, the cute planes could sing and whistle, what would beat that?
