Take to the skies in The Little Plane That Could, a physics-based flight simulator that challenges your piloting skills. Navigate through various environments, avoiding obstacles and landing safely on designated platforms. With intuitive but challenging controls, you'll need a steady hand to guide your aircraft through increasingly difficult levels.

Our Expert Score

72/100

The Little Plane That Could is a charming, physics-based flight game that emphasizes skill and patience. The controls take a moment to get used to—mimicking the fragile nature of a small aircraft—but once you get the hang of it, navigating through tight spaces feels very rewarding.

The levels are thoughtfully designed with increasing complexity, requiring you to manage fuel and momentum carefully. While the presentation is minimalist, the 'just one more try' factor is high. It’s a great choice for fans of games like Flappy Bird who are looking for something with more depth and actual flight mechanics.

No, this is a skill-based navigation and flight game, not a combat simulator.

Little Plane

A great game!!! Very nice graphics and sound. The first and second mission teaches you how to control the plane. You can do loops and rolls with the swipe of your thumb. Also a throttle control. There are 6 other missions of varying difficulty to battle 1 on 1, 2v3, or the last two, your flight of 12 v 3 other flights of 12. The big air battles require strategy. You have unlimited ammo! Always a fun game to replay.

There is no mathematical way that Rad Baron could get as many kills and as few wins in this game. He is doing something outside of the general idea of the game! I protest!

Great game!

I love the game! I actually own the little crane that could as well. The only complaint I have is that I really like tilt control for flying games! If you could make that happen in a future update that would be awesome! Great job!

Great game

Good physics and graphics. Fun and easy to learn. My only complaint is the Flight Leader mission can't be completed. We kill all the others, fly home and land and don't get credit.

Flight sims need tilt-to-steer
Sun Feb 15 2015 Giskard22

I loved this developer's crane game. This one is frustrating because the controls are so unpleasant. Flight simulators really should allow you to tilt the phone to control. But even if they don't, there should be on-screen feedback reflecting the steering inputs. Here, it is too difficult to actually control the plane just by dragging a finger around.

make available and all iPad and Ipad mini

The game was fun, but it is not as challenging as little crane. I beat this game in 10 minutes.
