Pilots: Ascension
Idle airline & space tycoon
$0.99
Your fleet keeps flying while you're away — build from a grass airstrip to the Jet Age and beyond. Offline progress, real weather, no ads, no IAP.
Your fleet keeps flying while you sleep — build from a grass airstrip to interstellar flight.
Pilots: Ascension is a deep aviation idle and incremental strategy game. It starts with a hand-cranked fuel drum and a wood-and-fabric contraption that has no business leaving the ground. Your job is to get it into the sky anyway.
You're the quartermaster of a tiny airfield. Crank fuel, recruit crew, and coax the first machines into the air. Then build an industry: depots, mines, smelters, and workshops; assign aviators to the jobs that suit them; and research your way up the altitude spine, from the Dawn of Flight and the Propeller Age into the Jet Age, with Rockets, Orbit, and deeper eras still ahead.
It keeps the incremental loop you already know (gather, build, assign, research, trade, prestige) and adds mechanics built around flight:
• Flight Operations: seven stories and 21 mission stages spanning all seven eras. Choose relief service or scientific survey and fly the routes that bring each mission home.
• Flight modes: trade speed, fuel, risk, and science output with Standard, Economy, Express, and Survey plans for each aircraft.
• Route mastery: successful landings earn improved payouts and lower risk on familiar routes.
• Fleet and routes: build aircraft and fly cargo, passenger, and mission routes for funds, materials, and reputation.
• Dynamic weather: four seasons plus live conditions. Tailwinds, fog, and thunderstorms can ground flights and shift production.
• Pilot ranks: aviators gain experience and climb from Rookie to Wingman to Veteran to Ace, multiplying their output.
• Final Flight: review your run and bank Legacy, Ace Points, and Renown before beginning a New Horizon. Choose a Founding Charter or an optional challenge to shape your next ascent.
No timers nagging you, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no account or login. Your save lives on your device and syncs across your devices through iCloud. It autosaves often, and offline progress is fully simulated when you come back.
Start with a windsock and an empty field. Climb one horizon at a time.
Flight Operations: new missions and new ways to fly.
• Seven story operations across all seven eras, with 21 mission stages. Choose relief service or scientific survey, then fly the required routes with suitable aircraft.
• Four flight modes: Standard, Economy, Express, and Survey. Choose speed, fuel efficiency, risk, or science output for each aircraft. Native fleet menus also apply modes to matching aircraft together.
• Route mastery: successful flights earn three levels of improved payouts and lower risk.
• Mission rewards stay reserved when storage is full. Offline flights count, with no mission deadlines.
• Final Flight previews, Founding Charters, optional challenge runs, safer save recovery, and smoother fleet management.
