Flite is the latest in a long line of one-touch, super difficult arcade action games to hit the App Store. It's a terse little game, and it doesn't snap as readily as some might like.

You control a little spaceship, tapping to boost it up the screen. Stop tapping and it floats back down. You need to navigate through a series of obstacles, grabbing stars to score points.

It's a pretty daunting experience, and scoring no more than two or three points a run is pretty standard.

The compulsion loop here just isn't quite tight enough to suck you in over and over again, and some strange ideas - like randomly appearing huge streams of stars - mean your scores don't necessarily represent your skills.

Flite has its moments, but they never quite click into place as well as they should
