Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon has you running an airport that floats among the clouds, which is a sillier premise than the game actually plays. Underneath the cartoon style is a proper management sim with scheduling, staffing, and layout decisions that cascade in interesting ways.

Controls handle the scale well — pinch to zoom, tap to place, drag to reroute. Menus can get busy, and early on I was overwhelmed, but once it clicked I lost a whole evening to optimizing passenger flow.

It happily runs in the background and the idle progression is fair without nagging you to come back. Battery use is moderate. A solid pick if you like watching systems hum along.

What we liked

• Deep but approachable systems
• Pinch and drag controls that scale
• Fair idle progression
