Background

Flight Control started as a personal project for Firemint CEO, Robert Murray, but was soon followed up with assistance from Firemint developers Jesse West and Alexandra Peters.

The game began as a design and development exercise over Rob's Christmas break. Christmas holidays are one of the few times of the year when the entire studio shuts down for a week or so and it's a great time to get creative. Sometimes you even stumble on something really cool!

The game has obsessed much of the Firemint studio, along with their significant others and friends. When we saw the buzz it was creating in the studio, we couldn't wait to share it with everyone else ;)

Apostrophic Lab requested that when Komika is used in a commercial project, a donation is made to a charity. We thought it was fitting to make a donation to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, the largest and most comprehensive aeromedical service in the world, who do an awesome job looking after the vast, mostly empty stretches of rural Australia. The Flying Doctors rely on donations to fund the repair, maintenance and replacement of their entire aircraft fleet.
