Today marks exactly ten years since I downloaded this game for the first time on September 29th, 2015. I play this game in phases for like a month or two out of the year but I’ve never truly stopped playing. This game was an immense part of my grade school years and part of the reason I’m so fascinated by aerospace today. Not one day has gone by that I’ve gotten angry or upset at this game, unlike many others, because it’s just simply perfect.

To all the developers, playtesters, website moderators even (if any of you actually see this), thank you. Genuinely, thank you for the game you’ve worked so hard to make and that has given me countless hours of entertainment. Literally countless because iOS doesn’t record playtime hours and I have no way of telling. If I’ve played any less than 10,000 hours I would be genuinely shocked but it’s probably way more than that.

By the way, I’m in a college class right now doing anything but paying attention and sitting next to a friend that’s been with me since middle school who I taught to play this game, as I’ve done with many others.
I will never stop playing this game, no matter what.

This thing can fly through the big canyon on Wright Island in 2:20.15 according to my stopwatch so I guess that’s pretty good.
