Comments on The Little Plane That Could for Android
★★★★★A Google user· May 29, 2017
I've played this game for a while now and can't fault what's on offer, its simplicity is pure genius. I've also been following the reviews, and it looks like 99% of players are in agreement. My overall policy where reviewing apps is concerned is not to tell the developer how to developed and produce apps or give them ideas on how they can improve on the ones they've already released, and I'll stick with this policy, my reason being I don't particularly warm to being told how to do what I have a natural talent for by a lesser person any more than the next man but if I didn't have this policy I would probably agree with the other 99% It's still a cracking game nonetheless.

Realistic physics, but the controls could be improved. Maybe add a joystick control option? And maybe a first-person camera angle. Please make it similar to Six Wheels and a Gun with the multiplayer options. That would be really fun. Just a thought, could you combine the two games into one big battle with tanks on the ground and planes in the sky, with tanks shooting tanks, planes shooting planes, and planes and tanks shooting each other? That would be awesome!

Doesn't run on my Galaxy S6 The graphics are shaky and the aircraft randomly jumps about on the screen, unplayable. I have the little crane that could, and I love it, it's a shame this doesn't work, I've applied for a refund and the app has been uninstalled.

Plane controls This would be 5 stars if it had tilt controls instead of just thumb controls.

Plane doesn't turn at all in flight. Very choppy plane graphics. Plane appears to shake while in flight. Hoping a newer version comes out soon to fix the problem.
