Gameplay

The objective of each level is the reach a required number of points to pass while avoiding many of the dangers of being an air traffic controller. There are many reasons that can cause a game over for the stage, including a near miss, head-ons during take-off or taxiing, or having enough points to pass the level. Players must also avoid making the stress level for aircraft go up, which results in a game over if it reaches 100%. Players must also direct aircraft on to the runway direction facing into the wind, or else the aircraft will do an automatic go-around on the captain's decisions. In some games, players are able to control traffic from other airports.
A cutscene is at the end of every level, with a different version of the game's opening theme. The opening can be unlocked by passing at least one level while the ending requires the player to complete the last default stage.
