Puffin Planes

Very fun management game, still receiving frequent updates two years later.

I'm saying no with caveats. The early game is pretty fun and it's clear what the game is trying to be about. The issue becomes apparent when you hit the mid game and the end game is literally unplayable. The balancing is completely broken because the airline manufacturers don't scale supply of production with demand. So you and every one of your competitors are trying to expand fleets and replace aging aircraft out of a production pool that barely covers a tenth of the demand. before you know it the passengers are getting upset because there's not enough aircraft to serve every route efficiently and old hunkajunk planes are falling out of the sky left and right.

There is a game-breaking bug which abruptly pauses the game and requires a restart to continue. In a game with thousands of flights, there should be a way to toggle off all of the moving parts which I am assuming is what is causing it to break.

hell yeah

overall this is a good game i do wish there was a better tutoreal to cover what the plane menu does and how it works as well as i wish the late game didnt start to lag out as much

Puffin Planes is one of the most unique airline management games I’ve played in a long time. The game rewards planning and smart expansion instead of mindless growth. Managing hubs, routes, competition, and passenger demand feels genuinely satisfying. I also appreciate how active the developer is and how much effort is put into improving the game and listening to community feedback. If you enjoy management and optimization games with real strategic depth, this game is absolutely worth trying.
