Zeppelin Mail — an honest story about a game that owns your evening

Sometimes the simplest-looking game hooks you harder than a blockbuster. This is exactly that case: the rules take a minute to learn, and putting it down is much harder.

What this game is

Zeppelin Mail is a morning flight over the city. The airship has a queue of addresses, and the letters must be dropped into the windows.

How to play, in short

Tap the valve to dump ballast: the airship climbs sharply and then sinks smoothly. The wind pushes it sideways, so you have to aim ahead of time. Hitting the lit window of the current address delivers the letter, scores, and moves to the next address.

A missed window costs points and adds a wind gust. The route is endless until you bank a big score.

Controls

Controls:

• Tap/click the screen — dump ballast
• Space or Enter — start/restart

A few final tips

• Check out the demo mode on the game page — the AI shows how it is played, and repeating it yourself gets much easier.
• Play in short sessions: the best results come with a warmed-up head.

Simple on the surface, deep underneath — exactly the kind of game that never ages. Ready to try? "Zeppelin Mail"
