Flight Control v1.3 Adds Peer-To-Peer Multiplayer

Just when you thought you may finally be able to kick your Flight Control addiction, Firemint reaches into their bag of tricks and pulls out yet another reason for you to keep playing one of the most addicting casual games available in the App Store.

flightcontrol_mugYesterday evening Flight Control was updated to 1.3, which a adds peer-to-peer multiplayer mode via Bluetooth.  The new peer-to-peer multiplayer mode allows you to share Flight Control duties with a friend.  One of you will only be allowed to land the red aircraft while the other will only be allowed to land blue and yellow, but the catch is that all three colors of aircraft will appear on both of your screens.  Since you won’t be able to land all aircraft, you must direct those that you can’t land onto your friend’s screen, which will require you to work well together or you will crash and burn.

Peer-to-peer via Bluetooth is only available on the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second generation iPod touch.  The original iPhone and iPod touch do not support peer-to-peer multiplayer via Bluetooth.

Another addition to the game, albeit a small one, is that you can now purchase Flight Control merchandise via the “more” button.  The products only consist of various Flight Control beverage containment devices at this time.

Flight Control is available in the App Store for $.99.

    I’m so excited about this update. Strangely, I don’t seem to have any flight-control playing friends around here, or they’re not sharing their obsession with me. I think I need to make some converts quick, so I can try this!

    Thanks for the post! But! why isn’t it in the peer-to-peer list? I thought you guys were scouring the internet for updates. I check the lists first thing, 10 times a day. Great lists, but I hoped they were up to the minute updates! Anyway thanks for all your work

      You are welcome Steve! As for the lists… they are updated as often as possible, but sometimes apps slip by us. We are human after all. I have added Flight Control to the peer-to-peer list and you can expect many more apps to come.

      We appreciate your feedback, so keep it coming.
