Tiny Wings 4+

I started plying this game on my dads phone when I was about six. (2014) I enjoyed the game, but I eventually forgot about it due to me having a tiny attention span. I re-downloaded the game in 2021, and I opened it up while sitting in my bed at my grandparents house (we were living here at the time because our house was being built) and I actually cried. It reminded me of the days when I was on top of the world, in fever mode if you will, and everything just worked out. Now, as a 13 year-old surrounded by schoolwork, endless political drama, and other things I would like to keep to myself, the game just hit me with a wave of nostalgia. I was so happy to see it back. Not only did it make me so deeply happy, but the game itself is incredible. No ads, no purchases, no lag. It is such a rare type of game nowadays, where game developers care only about squeezing as much profit out of a game as possible, user enjoyment being an afterthought. This game truly means something special in todays world. It will always be my favorite piece of technology ever created. I can’t thank Andreas Illiger enough for creating this game.

Remember well when this game was featured in a Apple Keynote way back in the first years of the App Store starting to thrive with games. The art style really atracted me, and gameplay, promising. Got an iPhone a couple years later and saw why many websites were amazed with the game. The gameplay is very arcade style in you can keep going by skill and rack up points, but unlike many arcade games, its a very relaxing game. The art style has such a happy, feel good, type of setting that gors well with the music and playful physics of jump-sliding through hills. Each hill area also feels like it was random generated, and keeps a feel of variety. Definitely a great example of simple phone controls with depth in gameplay, plus replay value. The race addition mode of playing the chicks to be the first to mama bird is also genius in reusing some assets with new ones, without feeling cheap. I am glad this is still in the app store and will be superior to any other flappy bird ever. Download this instead.
