Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon puts you in charge of a tiny airstrip and dares you to turn it into a hub. Balancing runways, terminals, and staff gets tense fast when flights pile up.

What makes it work is the layering: every new system connects to the last. Solve one bottleneck and another appears, always giving you something to optimize.

The pace can drag if you sit and watch, but as a game to check on across a day it's genuinely engaging. Numbers people will love it.
