Features
Read full description

A short one-thumb dodge flight. Drag to fly. Planes dive and other birds cut across — the opening moves, so camping a lane does not last. Sky is free. Unlock Night and Space themes, a UFO character, a Space+UFO bundle, No Ads, and Complete Set upgrades when you already own one half. After flights, a rewarded Unity Ads continue-ad can grant another flight (not Google, not AdMob). Skip keeps the loop; a completed view grants flights.
