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. Thank you Apple and a big thank you to all Tiny Wings fans!

HOW TO PLAY Move left and right between four pathways as waves of fire fall from above. Only one pathway is safe. Find it, move to it, and survive to score a point. Miss it, and you're done.

No hints, no mercy. - Easy Classic: Slower pace with an early yellow flash showing the safe pathway. FEATURES - Simple one-tap controls - Game Center leaderboards for all 4 modes - Achievements from Bronze to the legendary Green medal - Classic and Modern UI themes - switch instantly in Settings - Compete with friends and climb the global rankings Originally released in 2016, Ellude is back with its original design and a new modern theme. How high can you score?

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ellude at Free against Tiny Wings's $2.99. Ellude also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Tiny Wings's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15K vs 3). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
