Pocket Planes

9aacba64-365d-42be-80c6-a0fbdb271341Would you like to be the owner of a business empire? You might enjoy Pocket Planes, a game in which you manage your own airline company.

Of course, Rome was not built in a day. You’ll start with a modest company and grow slowly to hobnob with the greats. Eventually you’ll control absolutely everything, from things as superficial as crew uniforms to important issues as scheduling flight routes.

Bridge Constructor

Suspension bridges might not sound like the most fun subject in the world, but things change when they’re turned into a game. Bridge Constructor is humorous proof of this.

In this game, you have to build bridges on different cliffs. Combine materials and structures to make your constructions strong or you may fall prey to nasty accidents. Of course, unlike real life, if a bridge doesn’t work out, you can simply make a new one.
