Hi all,

There is a new version of my game, ATC 4.0. The new version adds incoming plane warning markers.

iTunes URL: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=303195673&mt=8

It's a simulation game that puts you in the seat of an Air Traffic Controller, directing planes and trying to keep them from colliding all while dealing with whatever comes up -- from high speed jet fighters to hurricanes, emergency landings, night missions, and more.

In order to stay competitive, we recently lowered the price to $0.99. This had the effect of boosting sales volume, but at the same time, $0.99 apps tend to attract 'negative' 'naysayer' type of reviews from people (there is an interesting effect displayed whereby people that don't care as much buy your app and are biased towards rating it lower when your app costs only $.99).

At any rate, I am kindly asking the community to help with my games reviews!

I don't feel the rating we have now is fair at all, since this game of relatively high quality and deserves at least 3 (if not 4) stars.

So, I kindly ask you guys to download my game (see attached promo codes -- I am releasing 15 codes and more if you contact me at: cculianu_a.t._yahoo.com), review it, and give it a nice healthy review if you can. If you feel this is unfair to the store, then don't say anything bad at least please! I am giving you free codes, after all!!

Here are 15 codes to get you guys started, with more available upon request:

Awesome! I've been eying this game for a while. I've taken this code:

I'll leave a review after playing it a bit.

Love the update. Makes the game much more managable, esp wrt landings. Nice also to see which direction next planes will come from. Helps with flightpath planning.

Good job. Thnx.

Thanks for the promo code, I gave your app a good run but must say I didn't like it. Everything is to small to see comfortably to enjoy. Plus is plays like a computer game from the 80's. Overall it just wasn't fun.

I on the other hand feel that this is an excellent game - especially for the people who like organization type games where you have to micro manage objects. I rated this as 4 stars in itunes because the graphics are unique and the game play is addictive. There is another application called Flight Control which is the same concept as this game - but that game has its perks just as this one does. I havent had the chance to experience some of the natural disasters but the game has never crashed on me and game play is exactly as advertised. Nice application and I look forward to what future updates you might conjure. Thanks again, keep up the good work.

+1 I think this is an excellent game. It has so much going for it; multiple destinations/arrival points, varying wind speed/direction/weather/day/night, "computer crashes" (which are a nightmare), no fly zones, oh and differing planes & speeds. Yes the images are small but that's because there is so much going on. Furthermore, this update has made life so much easier with the better landing tolerance.

Now I don't profess to be an expert at this game, having only reached level 17, but it is just so addictive and I keep coming back for more to try and clear the next level. Frustrating? Undoubtedly. With cross winds mucking up your approach vectors, heavy traffic density and computer crashes throwing way-points off enough to prevent a landing or worse cause a mid-air collision or plane to get lost, this game has everything going for it. (but granted it isn't any good if you have fat fingers; you need a fine touch for some of those way-points)

This is a game where you have to think. Scan the screen, take in the info, think, and react. Fast. An excellent app.
