I said Harbor Master. The reason being that each of the 3 stages adds something very different to the game The other big reason is that your stats are saved to imangi's server. If you delete the app (in a sudden onset of stupidity) you can re download it and have all your stats back In FC I lost all my data when I got the 3.0 GM build and it reset all my scores... INCLUDING those on cloudcell.
YOU FOOL! nah, we all knew this was coming... i said harbor master also, for mainly the same reason as VegantTnT... each stage is really different, and challenging in different ways. you have to guide the ships in AND out (while also waiting for the ships to unload) which makes it a lot more challenging. whoever said taxidrive is a moron
Imangi did a great job with Harbor Master. Far more depth than the original release of Flight Control. Harbor Master still has more depth than the recently updated Flight Control. Harbor Master = Pure Ownage
I said Harbor Master as well. I played it for a while and went back to Flight Control and while that was still great I found myself wanting to go back to Harbor Master. I'm sure Firemint will do a Flight Control 2 and will raise the stakes even more
I disagree, Flight Control started it but Harbour Master has improved on the formula significantly so my vote goes to that.
I voted Flight Control just cause its now the OG game, it did start the genre for the app store. You cant disagree with that. Harbor Master may of...mastered...the genre, but I think credit goes to FC (the developers of HM were influenced deeply by FC). Harbor Master does look like a great game nonetheless
harbor master--- Love the devs- they are very active on the forums- and the game has many we elements... Pit them in ports and guide them out, color coded ports, boats with multiple amounts of cargo that takes longer to unload and move slower..
I had to give it to Flight Control just because I am in love with the art. Harbor Master is a great looking game, and I really like the addition of unloading and sending the boats away. But FC squeaks out the win, for me.
I feel a little guilty voting so early after having bought Harbor Master and may well have a different opinion in a week but I went for Flight Control. The simplicity of the mechanic of FC and the panic that can induce as things get hectic still gives me a buzz, even though I'm rubbish at it. Harbor Master introduces another nice concept to that and I think I'll really enjoy that but I still love the purity of FC. Harbor Master also has to overcome the fact that it really is FC+. It's so similar and, while I'm not going to make a judgement on whether that is right or wrong, the knock-on effect for me is that it simply can't have that same impact as when I first got into Flight Control. Like a sequel of a great game with only minor differences won't have that same effect as when you played the original for the first time.
You may not be aware of one of the original games in this genre: http://www.sonicpowered.co.jp/bokukan/ The whole boat thing isn't really new either: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550210/
lol, yeah... while that may be, i'm pretty sure harbor master was started before this was released, along with the fact that the controls have to be completely different
I love Flight Control and Harbor Master. However, I think FC is slightly more polished in terms of graphics, sounds, and even down to the little things like the lines drawn to direct planes. Taxidrive is just awful though, had potential though just failed at execution.
Flight control lover here. I hear harbor master is good but Flight Control has the appeal and OG (apps store anyway) factor.
I just got an iPhone this past weekend and i brought both FC and HM as suggested by many here, and i dont regret it one bit. both are extremely fun to play and dirt cheap to boot!
