Throw a folded paper plane across a chain of back gardens. Tap to throw. Hold anywhere to lift the nose and climb. Keep holding and the dart loops over the top and flies the other way. Pull down to dive. Let go to glide. That is the whole control scheme. Thread hula hoops, pop every balloon, and knock over the stacks people left lying around: cardboard, bottles, crates, bricks. Clear a yard to walk into a harder one without leaving the sitting. There is one seeded chain of yards each day. Finish the first garden to keep your streak. Miss a day and it goes back to one. Coins, planes, and stickers stay on your phone. Fold named planes in the Shed, each with its own power, plus a workshop that never runs out of scraps. No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases.
