I like the flowers. The piano sound is in fact killing the game. How can one have the idea that such depressive sounds make the game more fun?

Overall, it seems that Bootant has some decent programmers, but no one who thinks on gameplay and how to make something polished.

I don't like the balloons in this game and the engine sound is annoying. Would buy it if all it had was loops and stars and what not to collect.

I bought BiiBall also and then an update that included flowers and then piano sound effects killed the game… I'm guessing same will come of this game with updates…

salsamd: it's to turn around.

Just another opinion on this. I didn't like this game. I didn't find it to be very fun. Though I'm not generally a fan of this genre.

"For every star ring that is successfully bullseyed, the player can swipe the screen, which flips the plane 180-degrees to aid in collecting missed star-cubes."

Can you better define this? 180-degree flip in what axis? Z? X? Not clear how this helps. Does this mean you turn around to fly in the reverse direction? I didn't see you swipe at all. Thanks!

The game is easier to play than the video illustrates. Holding an iPhone at arms length while hugging a tripod with a camcorder in your face is a far cry from the typical BiiPlane gaming experience…

Nope, you can't control the speed, but it's not so hard to control the plane even with that speed.
