Tiny Wings is a masterclass in mobile game design. In an era of complex mechanics, its one-touch gameplay is a breath of fresh air. You play as a bird with wings too small to fly properly, so you must use the curves of the hills to gain momentum and soar into the sky. The physics feel rhythmic and poetic; hitting a 'perfect' slide feels like catching a wave.
What truly elevates the game is its presentation. The procedurally generated islands change their colors and layout every single day, keeping the visuals fresh. The music is soothing, and the sense of urgency—racing against the sunset—adds just the right amount of tension. It’s a beautiful, relaxing, and endlessly replayable gem that belongs on every iPhone.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

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. Thank you Apple and a big thank you to all Tiny Wings fans!
