Filip Brož My favorite console games have always been GTA: San Andreas. Aside from mindlessly shooting anything that moves and dangerously driving anything with two wheels, I enjoyed flying the jetpack. I enjoyed just floating over the city and shooting or trying to free fall. All these experiences came to mind mainly thanks to the game Piloteer. It was selected as the App of the Week for this week and is available for free download in the App Store.
Piloteer is the responsibility of the developers from Fixpoint Productions, who managed to create an action game that may look primitive at first glance, but it certainly isn't. The main principle of the game is to control the main character, who has a jetpack attached to his back, i.e. a jet backpack, thanks to which you can fly in the air. You control the Piloteer using two buttons located on the edge of the display, which control the right and left nozzles.
I'm almost certain that for the first few minutes of playing you'll be dying all the time and only manage to fly a few inches off the ground. The Piloteer is very difficult to control and each player must find a way to effectively use the jets and thus control their character. As soon as you understand the basic principle of control, you can boldly embark on tasks and missions in which you get medals and thus advance in the game. Some tasks are very easy, for example flying from a bench to the roof of a stall, to more difficult acrobatic tasks or jumps from an airplane or a Ferris wheel.
In Piloteer there is also a free flight mode and three interesting game worlds. On the other hand, the game does not offer particularly dazzling graphics, so its main strength is definitely the game concept. Another interesting thing is that all your flights are automatically recorded, so you can look back at your flight numbers or share them.
I think that, like me, you will sometimes feel like throwing your iPhone or iPad out of the window, because in the beginning you will have more deaths than successes. But if you like challenges and want to experience at least the virtual feeling of flying, I highly recommend the game. It is also great for cutting down a long time.
If you are interested in the game, there is nothing easier than to download it download from the App Store.
