Is it a rocket? Is it a drone? No, it's Megabird! Tap to fly and try to avoid the obstacles. Upgrade Megabird to make him / her smaller so it is easier to pass the obstacles. Upgrade the power of Megabird so you can hit more obstacles and survive longer. This is a funny and addicting little game in which you must fly as far as possible. Just one tap and you'll fly upwards. You can touch the ground but Megabird's speed will increase so be careful. Fly through chains to break them. Compete with the world and your friends through the leaderboard. Try to unlock all achievements. It is a very difficult superhero game so be patient and don't crash your phone. :-) Have fun with this awesome superhero game.
