- Final Approach-By the numbers - 1 June 2017
When we launched in April with the HTC Vive, we had no idea what a crazy year was waiting for us-- through the launch of Pilot Edition and cargo drops all the way to the Oculus Touch release. As a celebration of a successful year with Final Approach, we thought we would share some fun statistics with you all! We've been collecting analytics since the launch of Cargo Drop #1 on Final Approach and at launch with Final Approach: Pilot Edition. These are used to improve the game in many ways, but we found some fun numbers along the way. We can't thank our players enough for spending almost two years of total playtime with us. From the number of birds scared to planes and helicopters crashed, we've got it all! Without further ado, we present Final Approach: By The Numbers!

- Oculus Touch Launch + Price Adjustment - 5 December 2016
Happy Oculus Touch Launch! We're excited to announce the launch of Final Approach on Oculus Touch systems. Hand-tracking is an essential part of the experience of Final Approach, and we’re extremely excited to offer our original game to players on Oculus Rift. In the eight months since Final Approach has launched on HTC Vive, we’ve been amazed by the response from our fans. When we created Final Approach as a mere prototype at the Austin Roomscale VR Jam in 2015, we never would have imagined how it would develop to become the magical experience it is today. Constantly we hear how our game makes players “feel like a kid again” in our world of tiny planes and big challenges. In order to continue reaching more fans with the fantastic world we’ve created, we will be permanently reducing the price of Final Approach and Final Approach: Pilot Edition to $14.99 USD. Today is a day that we expan…

- CARGO DROP #2 HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA - 3 October 2016
***UPDATE*** We've tweaked the criteria for obtaining the special Halloween event trophy announced with the update.
