Tiny Wings
Tiny Wings by Andreas Illiger is a game with the objective of landing perfectly on the down slope of a hill to pick up speed and using up slopes as jumps to launch the bird into the air. Just remember your bird has tiny wings so it can’t fly for long before coming back down. If you can land perfectly three times in a row then you gain “fever mode”. Basically flying super fast.
You control the bird by putting pressure on the screen with your finger to fight gravity and bring your bird down sooner than it should. Learning to judge the landings is paramount for getting high scores and making it as far as you can.
The game features two modes Day Trip and Flight School. In Day Trip your goal is to make it as far as you can while meeting the objectives to increase in rank. Where Day Trip is a race against three other birds controlled by AI.
Day Trip
The Day Trip option is you against the clock. Your goal is to see how far and how many levels you can complete before the sun sets. During your trip you have the ability to try and complete three objectives to move up to a new level. The objectives include making perfect slides on the down slopes, reach fever mode, collect a number of coins and more.
Flight School
The flight school level is you against the other birds in a race to see who can finish the course first. Landing perfectly is key to winning the race and running your own race, instead of trying to match what the other birds are doing.
Game Play
I used to race motocross and this game reminds me of an unlimited whoop section. Just like in motorcycle racing you want to land smoothly on the downside and prevent your bird from casing into the top or upslope of the jumps.
The game-play is simple with touching or tapping on the screen to control the bird. Each level features a new design with different types of jumps. Some really steep where others are more gradual and easier to hit the downside.
Overall this game is fun, simple, and can be played in as little as five minutes. It’s rated for ages 4+ and perfect for your kids to try and master.
