Fantastic game. It's short, clocking in around 4-5 hours, but great narration, unique story, amazing soundtrack, all in a dystopian world. One of the top playthroughs for me in recent years and worth the price.

I have almost 300 hours in the game at this point, so feel qualified to finally review it. To my knowledge, I have the highest hours played on Superflight, a somewhat dubious honor; it's akin to being the fastest speed runner of the original ET - the game famous for Atari's ultimate demise.

I spend a lot my day in meetings, over video chat, mostly complaining about how much I'd love to be in the office. That, however, is a lie - I love being at home and having this in the background, cruising through tight spaces and splatting against rock faces. This is my solitaire: I can wrack up a high score or die the grizzly death of a near-sighted flying squirrel and ultimately I hit 'A' and do it all over again. Is it a game? Only in the barest of definitions - it keeps a score, for whatever its worth. Super Flight is to Microsoft flight simulator as watching gold fish is to snorkeling with great whites. Is it fun? For $1.50 I paid, I absolutely got my money's worth, but wouldn't ask over friends to check it out for more than a few minutes of novelty.

All this said, if you want a background activity where the cost of failure is low, this is your game. It keeps your hands busy and is fairly zen, but really go in expecting a few hours of laidback game play, a few tense moments as you tackle accomplishments, and then you move on.

Except for me, who will continue to lie about office life. I recommend it.
