The gameplay, unlike Nimblebit's previous title "Tiny Tower", offers an incredible amount of nuance and depth. From simply parading planes across the globe, to setting up intricate flight plans with layovers, there is an incredible amount of ways for the player to run their airline.

Chris Buffa (Modojo): Here we are, the best iOS games of the year. We started with a list of 200, whittled that down to about 100, then the gloves came off, as we fought to include certain titles and said painful goodbyes to others. The result is a snapshot of 2012, the 50 iPhone and iPad games that stood out the most. That said, join us each day as we make the countdown. On that note, it's time for games 30-21.
"NimbleBit has just slashed the in-app purchases for Tiny Tower, Pocket Planes, and Pocket Frogs by 50 percent until this Sunday. That means users have the ability to buy some extra coins or bucks to grow their plane and skyscraper empire at half the usual rate." - Charles Ferrendelli
