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.

I became obsessed with this game when I was in middle school when it first came out, before every app had advertisements and in app purchases around every corner. I am happy to say that they have not added that to the game.
This game has simple gameplay yet it feels exciting, familiar and engaging. It always made me feel energized yet relaxed as I learned the rhythm of when to get my bird friend to jump and glide on the hills. A game can be played in a minute or two, depending on how far you are able to get. The artwork and design is beautiful from character designs, scenery, background, music, and even the UI. Every element of the game from the type feels cohesive. Not a thing has changed about the game since I played in middle school, as it was already perfect to begin with. I just love this game and I felt after playing it for nearly a decade, it deserved a review. Thank you to the tiny bird friend who comforted me during school trip bus rides, all the way to just an after work game session.
