Read full description

Escape the rising lava of a dangerous volcano before it's too late! Your character walks automatically; you can tap the screen to jump. If you tap while against a wall, your character will also change direction by performing a wall jump. Find the best route up through the six unique zones using these simple controls while racing against the volcano’s lava. But watch out, if you get hit by a spike or fall in lava, you’ll have to restart from the bottom! The six areas: Rock Bottom - Intro Pink Passage - Bouncy Pads Blue Mine - Ice Blocks Green Factory - Fading Platforms Yellow Elevator - Two Updrafts Orange Opening - Low Lighting Each area has one coin to collect. Some are one jump away, but others are on extra paths entirely! To save each coin, you must bring it all the way back to the surface in one go!

Mitra is a tiny winged seed in a world shaped by wind. Touch and hold to dive. Release to rise. Settle into the trough of a living current, then let its curve launch you forward. Every clean catch builds rhythm and speed—but the most rewarding paths are rarely the easiest ones. THE LONG GLIDE Chase your best score through an endless, changing sky. Read branching routes, collect pollen, avoid strange airborne critters, and decide when to stay with the wind or drop beneath it in search of a Bloom launch. TWO WAYS TO FLY Link clean dips to ignite Tailwind and surge across the sky. Pass below a current and rise through its Bloom line to burst upward toward high routes, richer pollen trails, and new opportunities. DAILY CURRENT Everyone gets the same new route each day. Race to the finish at boosted speed while choosing the path that gives you the strongest score. Clean catches restore Tailwind, rewarding players who can keep their rhythm all the way home. A WORLD THAT REMEMBERS Every grain of pollen helps Mitra’s Garden grow. Complete the Flight Log, earn Game Center achievements, and compete across leaderboards for The Long Glide, Daily Current, Open Sky, and Tailwind Smash. LEARN BY FLYING Flight School teaches the essential moves on a handcrafted course, then gets out of the way. The controls are simple. Reading the wind is the game. FULL BLOOM — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Open the wider world with one permanent purchase: • Open Sky, a peaceful endless glide through long-form biomes where uninterrupted pollen flows raise the challenge • Tailwind Smash, a fast 75-second swarm chase filled with stomps, bombs, magnets, and scoring streaks • 13 additional skies, including 12 roaming garden biomes, beyond the three free skies • Five additional trails with distinct glow, sparkle, and motion, beyond the three free trails • Future Full Bloom additions included No subscription. No consumable currency. The complete core game remains free to play. Put on a favorite track, catch the next current, and see how long one perfect glide can last.
