Airport Mania is a like a lot of games that have been coming out for the PC: a dash/micromanagement “casual game”. But, you shouldn’t write it off, because it is still a fun game.
The premise is simple. You control an airport terminal. Cute little planes, characterized with eyes, and even eyelashes on the lady planes, come in, you load people off and on the planes, and you get them to runways where they can take off. Sometimes you have to deal with the occasional [but reoccurring, depending on the level] refueling, repairing, and emergency on plane. Its game mechanics are almost Diner Dash like, the game which popularized the dash micromanagement genre.
After advancing through the levels, the game starts to get really hard. There will be up to 10 airplanes on the screen, and things can get really chaotic and challenging, which is fun, and something that most casual games don’t gave the fortune of being. But, unlike Diner Dash, it doesn’t get so chaotic that you end up giving up and not wanting to play [at least for me. I own all the Diner Dash games, and sometimes, I get so frustrated at them that I can't even breathe.].
For me, this game is fun. Not fun enough to play for hours on end, but it is a casual game, and that’s its purpose. If you’d like to check it out, you can get it from the Logler site. It is made by Reflexive Arcade.
