iPhone and iPad game · by Semi Serious Labs

Draw the path. Mind the traffic.

You are the one with the finger. Planes are circling, a helicopter is lost, and a jumbo jet has opinions. Drag a path to the right runway, keep everyone politely apart, and see how long you can keep the sky calm. Spoiler: not forever. Serious altitude. Semi serious attitude.

Glide Path gameplay on the Crossroads airfield: prop planes, jets and helicopters with dotted flight paths converging on two runways and a helipad, with the score, pause and fast-forward controls at the top. — A perfectly normal Tuesday in the tower. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Gameplay on the Crossroads airfield, with committed routes shown as dotted paths.

How it plays

Drag

Drag from any plane to draw its path. It follows your line exactly, even the wobbly bits. Especially the wobbly bits.

Drag from an aircraft to commit a route. Paths are lightly smoothed and followed exactly.

Land

Aim for the matching runway or helipad. Props take the short runway, jets take the long one, helicopters hop onto the pad. Wrong one? The plane shrugs and keeps flying.

Props land on the small runway, passenger and jumbo jets on the large runway, helicopters on the helipad; runway approaches must be within tolerance.

Stay apart

Planes that stray to the edge make a dignified U-turn on their own. Two planes in the same spot is a different story. One collision ends the run, so keep your eyes up.

Aircraft reaching the edge perform an automatic turn and re-enter. A single collision ends the run.

Four aircraft

Prop plane

Small, nimble, and a little smug about the short runway.

Fixed speed class.

Passenger jet

Quick on approach. Always running late.

Fixed speed class.

Jumbo jet

The fastest of the bunch. Zero chill.

Fixed speed class.

Helicopter

The slowest, and the only one who can land from any side. Show-off.

Fixed speed class.

Three airfields

Crossroads

Skew

Mirror

Each airfield unlocks after you land 50 planes in one run on the one before it.

Glide Path on the Mirror airfield: a flipped runway layout with helicopters, prop planes and flight paths heading for a helipad in the upper right. — Mirror. Same chaos, flipped. Your brain will not enjoy it. The Mirror airfield, unlocked after landing 50 planes in one run on Skew.

Glide Path on the Skew airfield: tilted runways with several helicopters on routes to the helipad and red close-call circles where paths cross. — Skew. The runways are crooked and so is the plan. Watch for the red circles. The Skew airfield with close-call warning circles where aircraft come near each other.

The Glide Path title screen with Settings, About and Game Center buttons, and a map carousel showing the Crossroads airfield with a Play button. — The front door. Pick an airfield, hit Play, regret nothing. The title screen and airfield carousel.
