About the game

Read the briefing that opens each session, then press Start Control to take charge of the approach. You play a ground-controlled approach controller, bringing a plane in to the runway over the radio.

Spoken ATC-style radio calls, also written out, like slightly left of course, correcting. A best score to beat.

Pick a heading by dragging the compass dial. Press Send Heading and the plane turns to match. Keep the plane on the path to the runway. Adjust the heading in five-degree steps with minus and plus buttons, or hit Reset. Press the Go Around button if the approach goes wrong.

tatesuke got the idea from footage of real GCA approaches and wanted to bring a little of that mood into a game. Through repeated testing, tatesuke shaped the concept and tuned how the aircraft behaves, the radar look, the controls, and the radio voice. AI tools wrote all of the code.

I saw videos of Ground Controlled Approach (GCA) on YouTube and thought it was cool. Ever since, I wanted to experience a little of that atmosphere myself. I thought voice communication would be especially important for making it feel right. I designed the concept and gameplay through repeated testing and feedback, while AI coding tools wrote all of the code, including the UI text. I kept iterating on details such as aircraft behavior, radar presentation, controls, and ATC-style voice communications until it felt like the simple GCA experience I had imagined.
