Hazards

There are a several obstacles you must evade on your way down:

Birds – From small birds to whole flocks of birds, they will send you spinning out of control
Hang Gliders - These guys fly back and forth and just get in your way.
UFO - this will blast you into smithereens
Hot Air Balloons - Slow and big, watch out!
Planes & Helicopters - These are as fast as they are deadly, they will CUT YOU UP!
Rocketmen - Small, fast but out of control, the gas tanks are fragile and will explode when you hit them.
Missles - It wasn't very smart to schedule missle tests during the air show, but they did! Watch out for these, they are rigged to explode on impact.

### 5/5 — It is what it says it is.

*2020-07-21, version 4.0*

You fall. Simple as that. Good game. Recommend to people who want a game where you just fall.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2011-06-13, version 2.0*

### 5/5 — Nice :)p

*2010-03-18, version 0*

It's got great graphics and it works pretty well, I found a bug where you can't die and you'll just fall forever... The controls aren't as smooth as Doodle Jumps...., but in general it's a neat little game....
--------------------------------------------------Update: the accelerometer controls are much smoother, much appreciated ;)p I can't really figure out the touch controls though... There's a bug in the game save attribute, I don't think it's activated haha beginners mistake.... Anyway great game still needs some bugs fixed though keep at it!
--------------------------------------------------The accelerometer is even smoother now, and the annoying bug that happens when you hit the wall is fixed and plenty of other bug fixes too, but with the 40,000 score deal it still doesn't save your score :( please fix soon! Great game though!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2010-03-06, version 0*

S0 addicting!

### 4/5 — Great game but ...

*2010-02-19, version 0*

Make it regular scoring. It's alot easier to remember and compare ur high score with people if it starts at 0. 5's if u change this

### 3/5 — Another bug

*2010-02-16, version 0*

Awesome game but my highscore went from 5600 to 8250 and didn't change it gets really annoying.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2010-02-13, version 0*

Gets addicting :(
Pretty fun!

### 5/5 — More-ish

*2010-02-12, version 0*

One of those 'just one more go' games!  Great soundtrack and charming artwork that has plenty of variation

### 4/5 — Fast and furious

*2010-02-11, version 0*

Sure, it's got some rough edges but this is a good example of it's genre. I agree with some reviewers that it is h-a-r-d but isn't that what keeps us coming back? Best of all the developer seems to listen and respond to input. As a developer myself I know that is important. What more can you ask for a dollar? Nice One!
