You have always dreamed of flying - but your wings are tiny. Luckily the world is full of beautiful hills. Use the hills as jumps - slide down, flap your wings and fly! At least for a moment - until this annoying gravity brings you back down to earth. But the next hill is waiting for you already. Watch out for the night and fly as fast as you can. Otherwise flying will only be a dream once again. Tiny Wings was chosen as the iPhone Game of the Year in App Store Rewind 2011 in Europe and many other countries.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Faulty Flap at Free against Tiny Wings's $2.99. Faulty Flap also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14). Tiny Wings's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 46 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
