Ava believes she can fly. Immerse yourself in this thrilling journey across a beautiful yet hazardous skyline. Weave between giant bomb-balloons, dive into turbo-charged catapults, bounce off trampolines and launch up into the clouds. Just never touch the floor. Defy gravity. With style. Lovingly crafted by the multi-award winning British indie studio Laserdog, Ava Airborne lets you master the sky with anything you can find: cardboard wings, rocket-propelled boots, an old umbrella, or even a jet-fuelled trombone. ==================== TAKE TO THE SKIES: Glide Ava as far as you can without touching the floor - the further you fly, the bigger the reward! JOIN THE ELITE: Progress Ava through fifteen levels of pilot, from the beginner’s Leaf rank to the ultra-exclusive Ace class! BIRD BUDDIES: Get a little boost from Ava’s flying companions, from Steven the Seagull to Duckington McDuckFace! FALLING BEAUTY: Customise your very own Ava by collecting your very own trinkets, charms and companions!
