A huge chuck of the top games on the iPhone are nothing but ripoffs. Ouch=Pain (PS3), Rolando=RocoLoco (PSP), StoneLoops, Crazy Machines, Dr. Awesome, even FlightControl isn't that original (good UI though). Are you guys for real?

This game lacks the attention to detail that Flight Control has and that is the reason I do not plan on purchasing unless I see a free light version to change my mind.

Controls are not very responsive and the screen get quickly filled up with boats (they are a tad too big). A few cool ideas but gameplay wise it's unfortunately not as good as its model.

(I love both games) FC requires only the landing of planes. HM has docking of boats and then also directing the boats off screen. Plus on the 3rd level you have to dock boats based on colors. Also, you score not based on boars successfully navigated, but how many crates you deliver. All of you screaming "rip off" will be missing a great game. Think about bejeweled clones, hidden-object clones, and the thousands of other clones... how is this any different? Both are great games. And for $.99, everyone should own both.
