Best TightWire Review of All Time! ******************************************************************************************************* Life Saving App!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Lil'Yosh Before this app i was a mess. I could not read or write. I would never do my homework or walk my dog. Thanks to this app my life has turned around for the better. This app taught me not to take chances in life. It also taught me to take up a hobby. In life i swatted out the bad habits (like in the game) and finally crossed the tight rope of life. This game has helped me tremendously. If it wasn't for this game i would be a dark evil hermit sitting in a waterfall cave. This app has inspired me to start walking on a tightrope. In my spare time i now knit and ride ostriches. The creator of this app is truly a genius. The title screen music is a soft lullaby that spoke to me, it said "you are amazing,child, for you can do anything and make your life meaningful." ******************************************************************************************************* !!!!!THANK YOU TO ALL TightWire FANS ACROSS THE WORLD!!!!!

Click to move between platforms, reach the finish line to open the next level, and collect gems to buy new characters. There are different types of platforms with different features, and each next level is more complicated than the previous one. Collect gems at each level to buy new characters from the store, such as tiger and dragon. Lots of cool levels, beautiful graphics, interesting gameplay and great animation.
