Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon drops you in charge of an airport floating in the clouds, and it's a satisfying management loop. You lay out terminals, schedule flights, and try to keep passengers happy as demand grows. The systems interlock nicely once you understand them.

Controls are built for touch — pinch to zoom, tap to place, drag to connect. It can get busy on a small screen, so a tablet helps. We appreciated that you can play at your own speed with no aggressive timers.

It leans casual rather than hardcore, so sim veterans may find it light. For a relaxed building game on the phone, though, it's easy to lose an hour to.

What we liked

• Clean, touch-friendly management controls
• Satisfying build-and-grow loop
• No pushy timers or pressure
