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 in-app purchases: Rat On A Snowboard at none against Tiny Wings's 1. Rat On A Snowboard also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14). Tiny Wings's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 178) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Tiny Wings costs $2.99 and Rat On A Snowboard $1.99 up front. Tiny Wings sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Rat On A Snowboard asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tiny Wings holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Wings has 15K ratings behind it against 178, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Tiny Wings's written reviews are positive against 95% of Rat On A Snowboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tiny Wings ships an update every 4 months, Rat On A Snowboard every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
