Aero Hub: Tower Control

Look down on a small airport. Planes enter from the edges of the map. Drag from a plane to draw its route, then end the line on a landing site that fits it: a runway for planes and jets, a helipad for helicopters. Keep the aircraft apart. If two come too close, the shift ends with an alarm.

Each shift asks for a set number of landings, from 7 to 22, and lasts about 90 to 170 seconds. A plane whose fuel runs out after 60 seconds diverts. A diversion costs a star but never ends the shift. You earn one to three stars for each completed shift.

There are five airports with twelve shifts each, sixty shifts in all. Island Strip, Mountain Pass, Coastal, Metro and Desert each bring new rules. You will meet jets and mountains, a wind change that flips the active runway, heavier traffic on parallel runways, and crossing runways that share one busy timer. Each airport also has an endless mode, where the score is the number of landings.

Shifts unlock in order, and the next airport opens when eight shifts of the one before are completed. A tutorial on Island Strip teaches drawing a route, keeping separation, landing helicopters, the fuel ring and the busy timer. You can replay it from Settings.

Slow Time tokens are the only resource in the game. Each token runs the game at half speed for 15 seconds. You start with three tokens, and you earn one for every five shifts you complete for the first time. Optional rewarded videos are labelled. Slow time 15 s is offered when you have no token during a shift, and Rewind 10 s is offered after a loss of separation. Each is available once per shift attempt, and the shift can always be retried without them.

The game contains ads and offers in-app purchases. A full-screen ad called Shift break can appear only when you leave a shift result screen or an endless result screen. It never appears before your fourth completed shift, never more than once every two completed shifts, never less than 120 seconds apart, and never during a shift. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that removes these full-screen ads; rewarded offers remain. Slow Time ×10 is a consumable pack that adds ten Slow Time tokens.

The game works offline. The internet is used only for ads and for purchases through Google Play. It is for players aged 13 and over.
