It’s very much like Flight Control, but I think I prefer it. The main difference, apart from the visual difference between planes and boats, is that the ships carry cargo and, one unloaded in a harbour, you have to get them back out to sea. It’s an interesting twist and one that improves the game for me, as does just the general feel of the thing. Flight Control alternates between dull and frantic, Harbour Master seems better tuned and doesn’t have the same periods where nothing much is happening.


I’m not going to delete Flight Control from my iPhone, but I doubt I’ll be playing it much any more. Mind you, I wasn’t before.
