Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon puts you in charge of a floating airport that keeps getting busier. You schedule flights, build terminals, and juggle happy travelers against a budget that never quite feels comfortable. The loop is classic tycoon, and it scratches that itch nicely.

What sets it apart is the personality. Little passengers grumble in speech bubbles, planes bank in with a satisfying whoosh, and the whole thing has a light sense of humor. Managing everything by touch works well once you learn the shortcut gestures.

It leans on waiting timers a bit much later on, which slows the momentum. Still, as a laid-back builder to check on through the day, it kept me coming back for a couple of weeks.
