Now sitting on 1.5 million iPod Touch and iPhones around the world, the Australian developed Flight Control is a run(a)way hit for Firemint.

Developer Firemint has announced a milestone of downloads from the Apple App Store for the game Flight Control.

Reaching 1.5 million downloads is believed to be a first for any game in the App Store portfolio and was achieved in under six months.

With its classic combination of super straight forward mechanics and addictive just-one-more-game appeal the game is a perfect match for casual players on the iPod Touch and iPhone platforms.

The wildly popular game has received rave reviews from players and reviewers alike, and has reached the #1 paid app position on the iTunes charts in 20 countries including USA, UK, Japan, Germany, France, Canada and Australia. Flight Control is the first paid game to have announced 1.5 million sales on the platform and its runaway success has spawned the entirely new “Control” genre, giving rise to numerous path-drawing games.
