If you were addicted to Flight Control on iPhone, wait until you see it in glorious HD! The App Store classic has landed on iPad with new ways to play and beautiful new graphics. If you’ve never played Flight Control before, now is the perfect time to find out what you’ve been missing!

In Flight Control HD, you’re an air traffic controller at an increasingly busy airport. Touch and drag the aircraft to their landing zones, but don’t let them collide. Sounds simple? It is, but can you juggle dozens of flights at peak hour?

Firemint’s #1 iPhone hit has been re-imagined for the big screen – it’s everything you love about Flight Control, plus everything you wanted on iPad!

*** MORE SPACE *** to land your planes on larger maps
*** MORE AIRPORTS *** with eight single-player maps including three in HD
*** MORE WAYS TO PLAY *** including co-op and split-screen versus modes
*** MORE FUN *** with many improvements to the line-drawing genre it created

=======================================================
Acclaim for Flight Control on iPhone:
* More than 2,000,000 copies sold – one of the most popular games ever
* #1 Paid App in more than 20 countries
* Featured by Apple in “Rewind: Best of 2009”

* Co-operative multiplayer on a single iPad: share landing duties with a friend on one of three HD airfields.
* Do battle on a split-screen in the competitive “versus” mode on one iPad: send your planes to capture aircraft from your opponent, but risk losing them if you fail your mission!
* Popular fast forward mode so that expert players can progress through the game faster. Plus a new “safe” fast forward that turns off when collisions may be imminent, so you can still save the day!

* Enjoy songs from your own iPod music library while you play.
* BONUS: includes a longer version of the classic Flight Control song that you just can’t get out of your head!

Download Evolution

Doodle Jump is a platform game developed and published by Lima Sky for iPhone OS, BlackBerry and Android. It was released worldwide for iPhone OS on April 6, 2009, and was later released for Android and Blackberry on March 2, 2010.

The game has been relatively well-received. On March 9, 2010 it was announced that the game had totaled over 3 million sales. It has been reported of having 28,000 downloads per day. The game publishers expect 4 million downloads by the end of April.

Gameplay consists of guiding a four-legged creature known as the “Doodler” up an unending series of platforms without falling in an attempt to gain a high score. The character is controlled by tilting the gaming device in the desired direction.

In Doodle Jump, the aim is to guide a four-legged creature called the Doodler up an unending series of platforms without falling. Players tilt the device from side to side to move the Doodler in the desired direction. Players can get a short boost from various objects, such as propeller hats, jetpacks, rockets, springs or trampolines. There are also monsters that the Doodler has to shoot or jump on to eliminate. You can aim your shot by tapping on different parts of the screen, sending a laser in the direction of your finger. There is no definitive end to the game, but the end for each gameplay happens when you fall (by reaching the bottom of the screen), jump into a monster, get sucked into a black hole, or abducted by a UFO. The newest updated version of the game lets players choose between versions of the game (normal, Halloween, Christmas, Rain forest, Space or World Cup) without changing their names. Also recently added with the latest update was the Easter version, which can be played by entering the name “bunny” for your name. Alternatively, you may put “Ooga” for your name, as the Doodler will become the Pocket God.
