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.

• Daily mode with new islands and missions every day 
• 240 birds to unlock

About

HALT

One target. 5.40 seconds, say. You hold the button and the clock runs. After a quarter of the target it turns grey — from there nobody is counting for you. Let go when you think the time is up. A hit takes you on, and it gets tighter: the allowed margin shrinks with every hit, from six tenths down to one. You have four lives. You do not get them back. Green means hit, red means missed — and land within five hundredths and you get a dead-on. You will see it. That is all there is. • A round takes seconds • No account, no ads, no purchases • Works without internet • Collects no data • Leaderboard with friends via Game Center, if you like Best with sound.
