Apple’s Free iOS App of the Week: Piloteer

Piloteer by Fixpoint Productions is Apple’s free app of the week. The game normally retails for $2.79 and is free for this week only.

In Piloteer, a whimsical and serenely challenging physics-based game about learning to fly, a renowned inventor is determined to overcome the stigma associated with flying a jetpack and convince the world that jetpacks should be revered by all.

Blending elements of both physics and trick-based games, players will need to maneuver their state-of-the-art jetpack through the skies while completing a myriad of increasingly difficult missions to change public perceptions.

Players will find themselves immersed in a wholly integrated physics simulation, making the beautiful world around them feel dynamic, unpredictable, and alive. Here is a list of in-game features:

– Increasingly challenging gameplay with sixty different missions

– Three beautiful environments to fly around in

– Career and Free Fly modes

– Custom-composed, serene piano score

– Silly and ridiculous physics-based ragdoll effects

– Universal support

– GameCenter achievements

– Share replays and screenshots via Facebook, Email, or Twitter
