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!

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

Echo Bat is an endless cave runner you steer by tilting your phone. You fly a bat through a dark cave, and you only see the walls where your sonar ping lands. Tap to dash and ping, dodge the rocks, and see how far you can fly. Free to play, works offline, no ads. A bat. A cave that goes on forever. A sonar pulse you can fire to light the world. The cave shows itself only where the ping lands, and only for as long as the wave travels. The rest is shadow. ENDLESS CAVERN A procedural cave that never ends. Every run threads new rock, new chambers and new biomes: Abyss blue, Ember orange, Void violet, Verdant green. Each has its own glow and atmosphere. SONAR FLIGHT Pinging the dark is the whole loop. Every tap is a dash AND a sonar wave. Use them to dive-kill stinger enemies, smash crystals for points, and chain combos that stack up to 5x. TILT-TO-STEER Native motion controls calibrated to your hold. After each crash the game resets neutral to your current pose, so you can shift posture between runs without losing the line. BOSS ENCOUNTERS Every few kilometres a luminous cave guardian rises out of the dark. It pulses, fires hostile sonar rings, and only dies if you dash straight into it. Three pips. Two hits. One bat. BUILT TO FEEL - 4 biomes that crossfade as you travel - Coordinated boom on every biome change: flash, shake, ring shockwave, audio sting - Painted parallax backdrops, three variants per biome - Hand-tuned WebAudio synthesis throughout. Every sound is generated, no samples - Universal controls: tilt + tap on phone, arrow keys + space on web FREE TO FLY The endless cave, the daily challenge and the leaderboards are free. No ads. No timers. FULL FLIGHT (optional, one-time) One in-app purchase unlocks Echo Mode (fly in true darkness), Ghost Race (chase your own best run) and eight more bat skins to earn. Buy once, yours for good. How deep can you go?

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Echo Bat at Free against Tiny Wings's $2.99. Echo Bat also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). Tiny Wings's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 3) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
