Description:
You have always dreamed of flying - but your wings are tiny. Luckily the world is full of beatiful 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.
*** Highlights *** - simple but skillfull "one button" arcade game about the dream of flying - the world is changing every day - so it does in this game! Procedural generated graphics will make "tiny wings" look different every day you play - upgrade your nest by fulfilling tasks - runs smoothly at 60fps even on older devices - OpenFeint enabled with 27 tricky achievements - cloudtouches for everyone

Dreamlike beauty  By: Djflippy - Feb 20, 2011 Version: 1.0 I'm really enjoying this one. Fly and slide a pudgy little bird through beautifully rendered, procedurally generated landscapes, in order to get as far as you can by nightfall, when your ornery little ornithopter lays down her weary head to rest. The art style is very painterly and the music is fun, but soothing. There are a number of different islands to reach, each with their own terrain to explore.You are presented with a series of hills you must traverse, which is accomplished by holding a finger on the screen to dive down the slopes and lifting your finger to fly up and over the hills. Those are the only controls. The game is all about timing and rhythm. You have to gauge your speed and judge when to dive, in order to retain your momentum. Simply elegant controls matched with the right-brain depth of play make for a very rewarding experience. There are goodies to collect along the way and upgrades for your nest that are obtained by completing predefined objectives. At the end of every flight, it scores you based on islands reached, number of cloudtouches, fever mode streaks, and goodies grabbed. The game is OpenFeint-enabled, offering both Achievements and Leaderboards. None of these things are what make the game good, it's the fact that the game allows you to enter the flow state. Playing Tiny Wings is very Zen-like; the feeling one gets when hitting the slopes perfectly and soaring into the sky is profound. This game is like flying through a storybook and it captures the beauty of dreams.

Golden  By: aeranth - Feb 20, 2011 Version: 1.0 A remarkable pick-up & play game... The stunning artwork, effortless design, along with the simple one-tap mechanic that easily satisfies both ease of play & the depth required to encourage long-term repeated play. An easy recommendation.
Artistic and fun!!!  By: Burning At Daybreak - Feb 19, 2011 Version: 1.0 Very stylish and unique game, super duper easy but challenging at the same time. Have a feeling I'm going to be playing this a lot. To the devs: Please add new features like different terrains or things in the sky to grab every once in a while to keep the game alive, thanks.
Beautiful  By: randyedmonds - Feb 19, 2011 Version: 1.0 The art work in this game is fantastic.
Fun game!  By: heelhawk - Feb 19, 2011 Version: 1.0 Looks great, fast paced, easy to play but a fun challenge. Perfect if you only have a few minutes to play. Good stuff.
