Pocket Planes

In Pocket Planes, players assume the role of an airline CEO. Starting with a few airports and small planes, players transport small amounts of cargo and passengers short distances. As they slowly gain profit from their flights, they then build more airports, buy better planes, and expand their airline internationally.

A formula determines how much profit will be earned from a flight, depending on the distance, speed and the weight of the plane used on the route. Filling a plane with cargo or passengers going to the same destination will net a 25% bonus on each item. Players can also complete events that involve flying special items and people to a designated destination. After completing these events, players are awarded Bux, which are used to buy planes and purchase other perks such as upgrades and the ability to speed up flights.

The game was viewed favorably by reviewers. It holds a 78/100 score on the aggregate Metacritic, categorizing it as "Generally favorable reviews" based on 17 reviewers. Gamezebo rated it 4.5 stars out of 5, stating "NimbleBit has once again dropped you in the middle of a universe that feels like it was built just for you, and filled it with a deeper, more compelling mission".

However, Ryan Rigney of Wired wrote that the player's success did not correlate with skill, and criticizes it for a lack of compelling gameplay.
