Introduction:
Flight Control Rocket is the sequel to the line drawing classic Flight Control. The object of the game is to direct ships by drawing lines to land on like-colored runways. While the original game only included a single game mode, FC Rocket has several game modes and has additional gameplay mechanics that really make it stand out from its predecessor. Unfortunately, the game is a major grind to complete. The developers added upgrades and boosts to the game, but the only way to get them is by using coins, which you earn at a ridiculously slow pace through playing the game. For more information check out the review of the game from WPCentral HERE.
Step 0: Flight School and Unlock Odyssey mode:
First complete Flight School to unlock that achievement and learn the basics of the game. Then, play Infinity mode long enough to unlock Odyssey mode (you have to land a total of 500 ships). Take this time to get a feel for the gameplay.
Step 1: Odyssey mode:
Complete the achievements related to finishing the levels of Odyssey mode and doing so without losing any lives (which are the most challenging achievements in the game).
Step 2: Miscellaneous mop-up:
Complete any of the miscellaneous achievements you have left after finishing all the Odyssey mode achievements. Many of them will unlock along the way, but a few may remain. See their descriptions for the best techniques as some achievements are easier on certain game modes.
Step 3: Grind for the robots:
After earning 16 of the 18 achievements, you will have two left that will require a downright grind. The game's monetary system is very unforgiving (i.e. you earn a very small amount of coins through gameplay compared to how steeply priced everything is). You need to earn 261,500 coins to purchase all of the robots, and then cumulatively earn millions and millions of points to fully level them up.
Conclusion:
Flight Control Rocket is much better than the original, but also is way more of a grind to complete. While the game is quite addictive and designed well (other than the poor monetary system/grinding aspect), you will need to put a significant amount of hours into it to reach completion.
