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! Highlights: • simple "one button" (ok... maybe "one tap") arcade game about the dream of flying • the world is changing every day - so it does in this game! Procedural generated graphics will make "tiny wings" look different every day you play • Four game modes • Daily mode with new islands and missions every day • 240 birds to unlock • Night mode: play the game at night • upgrade your nest by fulfilling tasks • iPad only: Split screen multiplayer! • Supports Game Center with 30 tricky achievements • Supports iCloud syncronization
