So this is how Han must have felt when he was flying through that space slug in The Empire Strikes Back. Plane Rush for the iPhone is the latest addition into continuous running/jumping/flying genre that has profilated on the iTunes App Store. In this game, players guide a plane through a continous (perhaps very long) cavern as long as possible while avoiding obstacles.


Tilt controls are used in guiding the plane, while tapping on the screen allows players to shoot certain obstacles. There are also power-ups to be collected, these provide protection to obstacles or even restore health to the plane’s health bar (the plane cannot sustain more than 2 hits). Multipliers are also available to, allowing players to double or triple their scores for a short period of time.

Speaking about scores, Plane Rush has OpenFeint connectivity for online leaderboards, making it pretty complete for a relatively simple, but enjoyable game. Nine Over Ten 9/10 rates this 2D game with a commendable 3.5 out of 5. The game is available on the iTunes App Store for USD 0.99, check it out over here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plane-rush/id433588346?mt=8
