Vaneglide

Launch a booster, split the stages and land it back on a platform in the middle of the ocean - using nothing but your hand. Vaneglide turns your front camera into a flight stick. Pump your fist to build thrust: the faster you pump, the harder the engines burn. When the stages separate, open your palm and wave to arm the sea recovery. Then pump again to slow the landing burn and set the booster down on the Tidewatch deck. PREFER TO TAP? Touch Control works everywhere, with no camera needed. Tap fast for thrust and swipe left and right to wave. You can switch between Hand and Touch at any time in Settings. THREE MISSIONS, THREE DIFFICULTIES - Clear Dawn: flat sea, low sun, nothing in your way. - Night Range: moonlit water with no horizon to steer by. - Squall Line: heavy swell and a crosswind on the deck. Fly each one as Cadet, Pilot or Ace. Higher ranks need a steadier rhythm and a quicker wave. CHASE YOUR BEST FLIGHT - Best time and landing accuracy for every mission and difficulty - Launch count, success rate and longest winning streak - 12 achievements, from First Light to Clean Sweep SHORT, PUNCHY FLIGHTS A full mission takes about sixteen seconds, so there is always time for one more launch. FREE TO PLAY, SUPPORTED BY ADS Vaneglide is free and ad-supported. One short, skippable full-screen ad appears at the natural break after a flight, before the results screen - nothing is locked behind it and no ad interrupts a flight in progress. Ads are served through AppLovin MAX with Google AdMob and BidMachine, and Adjust measures installs and ad revenue. On first launch the standard iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt is presented; allowing it personalizes the ads, declining it only makes the ads non-personalized - every feature works either way. Subject to that choice, advertising and measurement partners collect advertising data, device and user identifiers, other usage data, coarse region, product interaction, performance, crash and diagnostic data, as listed in the privacy labels. No account is needed, and game progress, records and settings stay on your device. CAMERA, FRAMES AND PRIVACY If you use Hand Control, camera frames are read for hand position on the device and discarded immediately - nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded. Full details are in the privacy policy linked on this page. Works on iPhone and iPad.
