Flight Control joins the 1m club

Pocket Gamer reports that late last week Flight Control was downloaded from the App Store for the one millionth time, netting the developer (according to the source’s calculations) £500,000 in the process.

Flight Control recently received a high-profile update that bought with it two new maps, new planes, online scoreboards and connectivity with Firemint’s Cloudcell network.

“With Flight Control, we showed that we can make an immensely popular ultra-casual title,” Firemint's Alex Peters stated. “With [new release] Real Racing, our team has shown that we can deliver the highest level of technical and graphical excellence in iPhone games.”

The news comes just days after Flight Control welcomed the arrival of a very direct rival on the App Store – Harbor Master.
