Get ready to take off with Panic Flight, a simple and free-to-play iPad game that doesn\u2019t feel like extra baggage. It\u2019s a surprisingly fun arcade style touch screen game that you\u2019ll want to take on a test flight.<\/p>\n<p>In the game, you must guide a little plane with your finger around scrolling skies as you travel from one destination to the next. As you soar, collect coins and power-ups to help you reach your goal faster. Avoid clouds that can slow you down and use up fuel, but clever players can \u2018surf\u2019 on the edge of clouds to get a speed boost. Avoid virus \u2018skulls\u2019 that can hinder your progress, and perform tricks like loops to make your passengers happy and earn bonuses. Just make sure you reach the end of the stage before you run out of fuel, or it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n<p>As you play and complete stages, you\u2019ll earn coins. Use these coins to buy more stages and different airplanes that have varying handling capabilities and powers. You can also upgrade stats on each plane with collected coins, too. There are also side missions that you can complete that will give you bonuses, too. You\u2019ll also unlock training stages as you play that do a good job explaining the ropes (and they are taught by a cute cartoon flight attendant, no less).<\/p>\n<p>Panic Flight is a free-to-play game, but it doesn\u2019t have the problems that most other games of this ilk have. While you can use real money to buy things quicker, you still feel like you\u2019ve accomplished something with each flight. It\u2019s just simple fun, and I really like it, anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=9051\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9051\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9051\" alt=\"FLIGHT_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/FLIGHT_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"502\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/FLIGHT_SCREEN.jpg 502w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/FLIGHT_SCREEN-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/FLIGHT_SCREEN-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Panic Flight isn\u2019t rated by the ESRB, but it\u2019s OK for any age.
