Levels are quite difficult but allows the player to discover more ways of flying like how to glide and regain energy to fly longer distances. Would be great if the developers added more levels like after the 3000m mark, we could’ve upgraded to a new aircraft after achieving the Flyboys Badge. Overall nice game, was confusing at first but now it’s enjoyable to experiment with current upgraded equipment ### 3/5 — Great game, could use some tweaking *2025-11-22, version 1.4.1* To all the commenters saying you can’t get off the ground, it takes a little practice but it’s easy to do once you get the hang of it. Sometimes the propeller doesn’t engage when I feel like it should have, but I can fly 8/10 until I run out of energy. With that being said, I always run out of energy before the 1600 marker. Have had at least 200 or more flights ranging from 1200-1500 meters, most being around 1400. Anyone past the 1600 mark yet? But I love the originality and the graphics. Great concept as well! ### 3/5 — A Good Start *2025-08-16, version 1.4.1* I liked this game at first and got better at taking off and keeping it in the air. But the only real goal seems to be staying up in the air longer, which gets tedious fast. The upgrades don’t really match the difficulty, and after a few upgrades I’m stuck. I’ve tried a lot but can’t reach the next distance, and it feels more about luck or “getting the feel” than figuring out a strategy. Since most of the gameplay is just staying in the air, it ends up feeling repetitive and monotonous. Adding more variety or different challenges would make it a lot more fun and keep my interest longer. It definitely gets points for originality, and I think it has the foundations of a pretty cool game. ### 4/5 — Unfortunate rating. *2025-07-17, version 1.4.1* It’s a beautiful game, it looks so nice and the idea is great, but it’s so difficult. I’ve been playing it on and off now for a few months and it just gets me so annoyed because it is impossible to progress. You need to fly 400m, but your energy burns out so quickly that you run out before 400m and you can’t land it without having energy, and you need to land rear wheel down first or you’ll crash. It is absolutely impossible. You can’t change or modify parts and you can’t even pay to buy new parts so you get stuck ### 4/5 — It’s a good game *2025-05-23, version 1.4.1* I’ve been playing for an house now and feel like landing is inconsistent ### 4/5 — Cycle/propeller slider *2025-05-20, version 1.4.1* Sometimes works but most of the time it won’t slide therefore messing the take off up ### 4/5 — Too hard *2025-05-15, version 1.4.1* I can’t even unlock two upgrades because I keep crashing. The transition from cycling to flying is clunky ### 3/5 — A great game, but flawed (currently) *2025-04-23, version 1.4.1* This is a really good game, it is hard to master (which I love) and has a really cool art style. However, getting past the 1600m flight distance is impossible. I must have tired about 30 times now and the closest I can get is 1520m. This needs fixing/changing, as others have raised the same issue. ### 4/5 — Great until… *2025-02-09, version 1.4.1* I was really enjoying this game and managed to progress the flights until the 1600m mark. Ive upgraded with all available parts and I’ve tried so many times but no matter how good my takeoff is I just can’t get to 1600m as the energy runs out. Feels like I can no longer progress which is frustrating. ### 3/5 — So much potential… *2025-01-22, version 1.4.1* It’s a fantastic concept with beautiful artwork. I am sure that the flying part is great too, if it was possible to get more than six feet off the ground. Unfortunately, the launching is far to difficult to do anything but. I highly recommend to the game makers to make an update fixing that. Once you do, I think you’ll have a five star game on your hands. ### 3/5 — Pretty little game *2025-01-13, version 1.4.1* Nice just little hard to take off ### 3/5 — Too hard *2025-01-09, version 1.4.1* Love everything about it but basically impossible from my experience to get past the 1600 mark. Hopefully developers adjust difficulty level soon. ### 4/5 — It’s a good game just hard *2024-11-21, version 1.4.1* At first the game makes no sense then after a few mins you get the hang of it or so you think you get a few upgrades then you have to get 1600 meters and 1400 is a struggle. Make it a little easier give us more upgrades/customization options a little more lift and more energy regeneration other than that it’s a fun game that has potential. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-02-26, version 1.4.1* So frustrating, has future but ### 1/5 — Abandoned project *2025-08-20, version 1.4.1* People have been complaining since February that the 1600m level is impossible & they haven’t fixed it ### 1/5 — Lazy devs *2025-04-09, version 1.4.1* So from what I can see and what I’ve experienced, everyone saying you can barely ever get off the ground are right. Not only that but it seems as though this issue has been happening for MONTHS on months and not a single thing has been done about it. Disappointing considering the potential that the game has. ### 1/5 — Pointlessly aggravating *2025-04-02, version 1.4.1* Serious control issue. Controls go from no response to over-response in the blink of an eye. Boring and not worth the effort. ### 1/5 — Hard to Take Off *2025-02-05* Every time it stalls **Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience experienced. Please make sure to give the app enough space to take off smoothly. Thank you for your feedback!

Most of the time slider to change into the propeller doesn’t engage for whatever reason. This just ruins the game ### 2/5 — I tried really hard to like this *2025-01-14, version 1.4.1* I wanted to delete this game after the first 50 times I crashed saying that it was my fault, that I was doing something wrong. I took a break and started again by replaying the tutorial and it worked. I got the first propeller upgrade then the first wing upgrade. I crashed about two dozen times in between but the issue is I can’t even got off the ground 90%of the time. His hat flys off, I slightly lean back to get off the ground as my thumb slides the pedals to propeller power and nothing. The propeller never turns on and if it does I’m 6 ft in the air for half a second then bam 💥. I don’t know if it’s a sensitivity issue or what. If it’s me and it’s a technique thing then dude you missed the boat as far as I’m concerned. It shouldn’t be that difficult to do this. I understand it has to be challenging but that should not be the hardest part is engaging the propeller in time. I don’t know I feel my rating is legit. A game can look great and all but if everyone can’t play it, it’s bantha fodder, fancy bantha fodder. ### 2/5 — Not great *2025-01-07, version 1.4.1* Would be a nice game but the controls are pretty bad, half the time the slide button for the propeller doesn’t work. Played for 30 minutes and didn’t unlock any upgrades, and there are no instructions on how to get the upgrades. ### 2/5 — Wish is was easier *2024-06-29, version 1.4.1* I love games like this, and it has potential, but the fact that it’s sooooo hard makes it difficult to rate it well. I’d hope that the creators would make the difficultly variable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-07-04, version 1.4.1* Not easy to master but good fun. Got to 3000m and it seems that’s the end? Would be great if it expanded in future updates ### 5/5 — Well done *2025-05-25, version 1.4.1* It’s been years since I’ve seen a casual, addictive game. The music and art are great and mechanics are realistic. Wish there was a altitude/speed reading. I know the hat flip is the cue to take off. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-02-16, version 1.4.1* It is challenging, Which makes it enjoyable.first hour or so I felt like an idiot trying to get the timing right but once you get acclimated it’s a beautiful game. Great homage to the first in flight. ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2025-02-03, version 1.4.1* This game is so much better than the ratings suggest. I have enjoyed it very much and wish they would expand it. It is difficult at first but it wasn’t hard to get the hang of it after playing it for about an hour. Not nearly as hard as I expected after reading the comments. ### 5/5 — How to pass 1600m *2025-01-21, version 1.4.1* Love the game! I am maxed out 1400m can’t get to 1600m for the next wing upgrade. Any suggestions on how to conserve energy? ### 5/5 — Very fun hard to get to the 1600 media if you don’t know the technique though *2024-12-01, version 1.4.1* You have to make the plane glide ### 5/5 — Dumb controls *2024-07-06, version 1.4.1* Literally the dumbest controls ever, the propeller only turns on like 10% of the time so you just take off and crash. Can’t go more than 10 meters without using the tutorial to tale off despite trying 100’s of times. After using the tutorial to make it past the first checkpoint at 200 meters you no longer get to use the tutorial and cannot progress any further as the next unlock is at 400 meters. Make the propeller automatic so this game is actually playable please and maybe make upgrades cost money and earn money every run so you can actually progress because it could be really fun. For now it is absolutely unplayable garbage and I will be deleting it unfortunately. ### 5/5 — Hidden gem *2024-07-05, version 1.4.1* Nicely presented minimalistic game with no ads 🙂 ### 4/5 — Upgrades don't match the difficulty *2026-05-07, version 1.4.1* I've tried over and over, but I still can't fly 1,600 meters. Why is it so difficult? I've already leveled up. What do I need to do to make it that far? ### 4/5 — Has potential *2026-05-03, version 1.4.1* It’s very good but has a great vibe to it and if you’ve played peaks of yore it’s definitely has the feeling of the game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
