Firemint has announced the release of Flight Control HD for Mac OS X and Windows. The game is available throug the Steam game download service and costs $4.99.
Flight Control HD is an air traffic control management game – you direct airplanes and helicopters to land at an increasingly busy airport, being careful to avoid collisions.
The game features 9 maps of different difficulties, each with different challenges, a Steam-exclusive “Stunt” map, unlockable achievements, global leaderboards and rankings, a “Fast Forward” mode for advanced players, and support for Steam Cloud, so you can pause your game and resume it from another computer.
Wonder if they went with Steam instead of Mac App Store because they want to go cross-platform soon.
Or Steam offered them money to go exclusive.
It *is* cross platform. And there’s no exclusivity – they’ve already stated plans to make the game available through the Mac App Store when it comes online too. Steam has the virtue of a) being hugely popular and b) already existing.
