Tiny Wings

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.

Now feels like a fitting time to write this review my younger brother and I just managed to fly through the fourth island in fever mode It was an exciting and at some points frustrating mission but the feeling you get when you finally manage to sore through that island with stars falling from your birds back the way is well worth the effort put in. The game has gorgeous graphics, fun characters, and simple controls that still allow for many optimizations to be made in every game mode. The unlockables in this game are great weather be completing missions to unlock nest or grabbing coins to hatch eggs. The local multiplayer for iPads is a nice touch if you want to race your sibling or friend. I have had a lot of fun and excitement, in flight school climbing up the leader boards, supported by game center. I am slightly annoyed, however at the fact that the world record for clown island is 10 seconds. Which is simply impossible without hacks or glitch in the system. But that’s not the apps fault(please don’t hack)

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.

I recently went back in my app history and downloaded games I was into almost ten years ago when I was in middle school. This game is still A++, it has it all. Super smooth playing, beautiful artwork, the music is high quality and sets a great vibe. The birds are very cute and also funny (the “yooohoooo!” from one island to the next gets me every time). It’s engaging yet relaxing, and all the while uplifting. I love that in you can just compete against yourself, and when you lose your momentum you can build it again quickly, so there’s no real frustration, just potential for getting into an exciting “flow” mode; the perfect level of challenging and accessible that can cater to everyone. And what’s new since I re-downloaded is the flight school mode, where you can race the other birds for a faster and more competitive pace. I’m incredibly impressed and grateful that the developers have kept up this game, it really brings me a lot of joy. Thank you!

My mom got this for my first-generation iPod was I was seven years old, and I LOVED this game. I got to island ten once or twice when I was eight, and it’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to match that. Now I’m back to occasionally hitting islands eight and nine, but I haven’t gotten back to ten yet! I still remember how all the islands (up to eight) are laid out, so it’s even easier for me to play this. When I was seven, I got through the level in which you had to pass through island four in fever mode; it’s not really that hard (you just have to know how the land is laid out). I remember the racing mode, but I’ve never really cared all that much about it. Now I’m fourteen, and I still love to play this on my phone. The game is not glitchy at all, and it never has been. It’s such a beautifully simple game. The colors are amazing, the gameplay is awesome and the nostalgia is MAJOR. Now that I’m a sophomore, looking back at my second-grade self playing this game, I get odd sensations (especially if I’m playing 2008 Taylor Swift or Cyndi Lauper in the background 😂). It really makes me feel warm and safe. As I’ve already said, I’ve loved this game since I was a little girl, and it’s still as great as ever. It’s a classic! Thank you for so much fun over the years! (Ignore your negative reviews, because they’re mostly misspelled. Those people don’t know what they’re talking about 🙄😏😆)

I’m now 13 years old, but when I was around 7-8 my mother downloaded this game for me. Of course I didn’t really get it, and just though the bright colors were cool. We ended up deleting it, simply because of my short attention span as a little kid. I recently downloaded it again, and was surprised at how smooth the gameplay was. One tap controls make the game nice and simple, while rolling hills make you feel warm and fuzzy, almost. I highly recommend this game! Also... I’ve read a lot of reviews about the objective ‘reach island 4 in fever mode’ being too hard. I finished it in one try. The objective is to simply be in fever mode (starts with a perfect slide) while transferring to island 4. Not being in fever mode nonstop on islands 1-4. Additionally: these aren’t fake reviews, like people are saying! SOME people just don’t understand the simple beauty of the game!

I somehow managed to stumble upon the update only 6 hours after it was released - a very joyous surprise for me, as I never thought the app would ever update again! This charming game is as pleasant as ever, and all of the new additions are fantastic! My nitpicky mind is *especially* happy that doing flips between islands actually effects the trail now, haha! I’ve only just begun unlocking the birds (including the sunbird) and I have noticed that the dark blue bird with spikey hair and orange stars all over it is unusually uninfluenced by the clouds, which I think is a bug. It usually keeps the birds from going to high with a pretty notable push, but this bird in particular practically ignores it! I think I could learn a thing or two from that bird… If you guys ever plan to update again, I have a little wishlist. I think the game could use a handful of new songs, new coins, maybe the birds could have a brief exasperated expression when a combo breaks, and finally I think being able to add your own noises to a custom bird of sorts with your voice would be very neat. All in all I’m glad to this game freshened up. It was one one of the first iPhone games I came across before I ever owned one, and I always have respect for childhood joys that can endure the test of time. Your game is beautiful. 👍

It’s always sad to come back years later to a game you used to love as a kid and find it filled with ads, microtransactions, and obnoxious unlockables that are clearly trying to frustrate you into spending money. Fortunately, Tiny Wings is not one of those games. The game is just as fun as I remember it being with none of the annoying updates that many older mobile games have received over the years. Even then it was a great game. Great music, satisfying gameplay, and perfectly simple controls all make for a game that is easily worth the asking price. Objectives add a great amount of replayability, as if it was needed, and the racing mode is a great way to make the gameplay feel fresh without adding any new mechanics. This is exactly what every mobile game should be.

I love this game. I think it is brilliant. It is both very engaging for the mind, but also relaxing. It requires soft focus to play well. The music is soothing without being annoying. I find the way that the colors of the islands change over time, like seasons almost, to be mildly enchanting (for a cartoon). The sounds that the little bird makes are so precious. It makes me want him to do good, so that he can feel so cheerful! Seriously though, I play this game in times of my life when I feel overwhelmed and just want to space out in a peaceful way. Like when you are waiting to hear back about your job interview, home loan application, surgery results, never ending existential doom, etc. Warning: it is addictive and gets harder and harder. I've been playing for 8 years, it transfers from phone to phone

Tiny wings is an addicting and fun game you get to fly and race and travel to all different islands. But when it comes to the races it’s not always fun because your running against COMPUTERS. The odds are not in your favor. There is no luck it’s you racing against computers. So yes I love this game I’m addicted to it because it’s so fun and you want to win the race so you go over and over again, but eventually it gets so frustrating because you just can’t win and if you don’t get a fish you can’t move on to the next island, and if you can’t do that you can’t keep moving on with the game. So please unless you want to get frustrated ALOT don’t get this game. I’m sorry tiny wings but it’s just to much. Tiny wings creator if your seeing this improve your game by making the people be able to move on even if they don’t get a fish do something to make them be able to move on. Thank you in advance, love your game but it gets frustrating.

In the update notes you mention it was an accident but it made a new dynamic to the game that made it feel fresh, I strongly disagree with the decision to go back to the original physics, the game was much more fun and there were more possibilities, and the skill ceiling was much more exciting. It feels archaic to go back to the old physics now. At least consider giving us the option to use the last update’s physics that won’t count for leaderboards maybe? Hope you see the appeal, I’ve been a longtime supporter of this game and many of my friends agree that the physics that allowed you and rewarded you by shooting far passed the clouds is a much better experience.

I love this game. It is a great way to kill time and is extremely fun and addicting. There is the option to play with one bird trying to beat your high-score, or race against other birds trying to get first place! Although the game costs money, it it’s totally worth the buy. My friends and I constantly play the game and compete who has the highest score. I do have a few suggestions that I hope the app could include. One being a way to race your friends by playing together online. Another being a way to change your bird by unlocking costumes. These ideas will make the game more interesting and addicting to play. Overall, it is a great app that never gets boring or old as I have had it downloaded for years nows.

I originally started playing this as a kid and the soundtrack is the sweetest bit of nostalgia. I loved the high score based gameplay, especially in Flight School. It’s a great game, and the new update so far is wonderful! The only issue I sort of have is the difficulty in the AI has sort of changed. 4-1 and 5-1 (at least as Owell, I hadn’t tried it as the others) used to be impossibly hard, and I never beat them. I got very close a few times, though. I really miss that challenge, it was very fun to fight a near perfect cpu. if there was a hard mode I’d be all over that, and this would be a 5 star game for me. So, aside from the new slight lack of difficulty, this game is the best phone game ever. If you haven’t played it already, you just gotta!

I recently redownloaded this game, after loving playing it when I was younger. And it is still so amazing. Relaxing music, pleasing graphics, and easy to play but not so easy it gets boring c: My only suggestion is that maybe introduce a multiplayer race mode, just like flight school but an option to go against real people. The computer controlled birds are great, hard to beat but it is possible, and all have different difficulties, but after beating every level on every bird I’d like to play some rounds a little differently! And I feel it would be fun knowing you were against real people! That said, this game is pretty much perfect the way it is anyway ^^ And the bird noises are the cutest c:

To be honest, this is one of my favorite old time classic games! Best of all, no ads or stupid micro-transaction! I remember when I first downloaded it on the iPod touch and everybody likes it. Thank you dev for keeping up-to-date with the latest support on newer phones no matter the reviews on new phones. Just stay up-to-date with every phone release. Works great on my iPhone 8 plus as well as my mom's regular iPhone 8. I hope you can add in something like where we can choose a skin or theme from classic, to tron like, futuristic, retro, etc. I would definitely look forward for those update in the future if you plan to add them.

i always loved how timeless and unchanged this game was since I started playing it on and off about 6 years ago. However, i could never complete all the levels on flight school because of how extremely difficult it was to beat the ai. I would do a perfect round over and over again and it would beat me by a millisecond every time. Now i can finally win, but its still not too easy. i also like the egg addition because it gives you the option to change or stay the same. I didnt think i would like any changes to this classic game but this update is cool :)

This game is a timeless gem. Over the past decade I have come back to it consistently. Gameplay is smooth and addictive, the aesthetics are colorful and stylized, and the music is comforting. The recent update adds even more value, through its currency system that adds new challenges which allow for the collecting of skins to customize for your birds. The currency is easy to collect, and it does not lean on in-app purchases that the market relies on so heavily these days. The only in-app purchase is a $2.99 golden bird which doubles your coin collection. This game has tons more soul than its competitor, Dune, and is worth your time.

I loved playing this as a kid, and just recently got back into it when I was on a very long flight and wanted to kill some time. I found the color scheme pleasing and easy on the eyes, the downplayed/chill aspects of the game also really made it stand out amongst popular overstimulating mobile games today! Whimsical and adorable. Definitely rating it 5 stars for those reasons alone. After seeing the update in game design- the inner child in me lit up! Everything works so well and I’m so happy this game is played and loved by so many, just as it is loved by me. I’m just elated this game got some love. <3

This is a game that I hold very close to my heart. I remember playing it for hours on my mother’s IPad, loving every second of it. I returned to it after a multi-year hiatus, but I was worried at first. Most mobile games from this time period were either left behind after iOS updates, abandoned by their developers, or filled with ads and microtransactions to the point that the game wasn’t fun any more (sometimes all three!). I’m so happy to see that this game is still here, and it serves as a beaming reminder of the good old days of the App Store.

I downloaded this game at 18 years old in 2011 after multiple surgeries, a tumor removal, and bone grafts. Tiny Wings was my main focus/distraction during the 3 months I was bed ridden, healing from previous surgeries. Here, at the end of 2019, I’ve decided to revisit this game. Very little has changed, other than the enhanced, beautiful graphics The music and gameplay continue to invoke the same comfort and satisfaction as it had almost a decade ago. I felt compelled to give a 5 star review because of the sentiment I have for this game. But it deserves it because the game is still very fun and enjoyable.

I love this game so much! It’s been one of my favorite games now for several years but after a while I’m getting bored. After you finish flight school, it says more islands coming soon. But it’s said that for many years so I’ve given up hope that you will add islands. Please add some more islands to flight school as that would make it much more enjoyable. Another suggestion is maybe a shop. After collecting the coins in solo mode, you could go to the shop and buy new birds to play as and new nests. That would be fun and interesting to try out. These are some suggestions that a lot have people have talked about so I hope you think about them. Thank you.

I love this game & have played it off and on for years. Lately, though, it doesn’t always respond to my touch. At first, I thought maybe I was letting my thumb drift out of the sweet spot, but even if I keep my thumb exactly in the bottom right corner, the game sometimes seems not to know I’ve pressed down, so the bird doesn’t descend. Needless to say, this takes ALL the fun out of playing. I usually just quit before the time runs out when this happens. This is the only app I have a touch-sensitivity issue with, so I’m think there might be a compatibility problem after a recent update, maybe to iPadOS 14 ’cause it’s been doing this for several months.

I recently downloaded this game onto my phone for the first time since my high school days. It’s a relaxing way to pass time, and as nerdy as it sounds, it gives me a lot of joy to hear how excited the little bird is when you help him touch the clouds or fly over to another island. The music adds a nice element as well. It’s the kind of game I play when I just want to have some fun and zen out, and the challenges give you some cool goals you can work through if you want to try for something other than a new high score or a new best in distance. Simply a wonderful game.

It’s great to see that this game got a recent update after a few years of silence. I have an idea for a future update, I think we should be able to use the coins we collect to purchase costumes for all of the birds. You can get as creative as you’d like with these if you consider it, I think it would be pretty neat since I don’t see those coins used for anything else. It doesn’t have to happen, it’s just an idea of mine. Thanks for reading, and have a great day to anyone and everyone who read this review! 👍👊😉

I’ve been playing this game since it came out. Every iPod touch or iPhone I’ve had since has had this game in it. My kids used to play it on my phone when they were little, and now that they have their own phones, it’s installed on all of them as well! The gameplay is simple yet challenging, graphics and environments are gorgeous and colorful, and the music matches up with the aesthetic perfectly. Do not hesitate to purchase this game, you will love it!

I’ve been hooked on this game since it first came out, and have been eagerly awaiting the new islands for months now. The game is relaxing, sometimes challenging, but ultimately adorable because the animation and the colors flow beautifully together. However, trying to pass the level which requires flying through island 4 in fever mode is next to impossible. I swear I’ve been stuck on that level for years. So if you have any tips, please, please let me know. Otherwise, I love this game. But more levels would be appreciated.

This game is so much fun! I’ve been reading other reviews and many others seem to agree with me. One thing I’ve noticed is that many people who left reviews said that it brings back memories. I couldn’t agree more! When I was six or seven I got this game and played it with my brother. Now many years later, I’m still playing and loving it the same as I did since day one! The music and art is out of this world and even if I tried, I wouldn’t be able to find any errors to this game. It is flawless.

I’ve been playing this game for years, love it esp if I want a quick mental break from something. I recently got an iPhone 14 Pro and found the game graphics to be very jumpy when you touch the screen to fly down to the ground. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled the game, no change. I’ve restarted the mobile device, no change. The game is so jumpy that I almost don’t want to play it anymore. Solid 5 stars for everything else, 1 star for the recently jumpy graphics. Average: 3. Fix the graphics for the latest iOS and you be a 5 again.

Well the new graphics look cool but the new physics make it impossible to reach my previous high scores. Also they added like 100+ birds to unlock. It places an objective on obtaining coins for unlocking them. It he game is no longer fun because if I want to obtain more birds I have to slow down and collect coins instead of improving my skills. After I get all the birds I don’t think I’ll be playing this game anymore and retiring it. I just don’t find the game fun anymore and it feels like you don’t care about the true fans who stayed with you all these years. I would have preferred more islands than these new color changed birds. At least there was a challenge. Collecting birds feels like a waste of time.

Nothing is perfect. Says enough of this game; it isn't perfect either but it surely made my childhood somewhat perfect being one of the great games I'd play all day back then, coming back to it now it is still the same great game it always has been and seemingly it will forever be. Still quite hard to get good at. If you do have the spare change of lunch money to buy this, maybe one lunch can help pay you many memories to make with yourself and friends to a simple bird flying over hills. P.S. The music is beautiful too.

I used to play this game on my parents iPad when I was pretty young and I would never grow tired of it. I downloaded the game ten years later on my iPhone and the game is still incredible. It’s very hard to get bored of it and there is always something to do. I always play when I have littles around and they constantly ask if they can play when I’m around. I’m thankful the game is still around and very happy that I can still play!

Have you ever thought about what could possibly be the best app ever created. If so, you need to lower your expectations. This is a free app on the App Store, you can’t possibly believe that you were gaining he key to happiness through downloading this app. However, for what it claims to offer, it delivers four-fold. I don’t think that I’ve ever had so much fun playing a game that I got for free. I would give this game 6 stars out of 5 if I could; not because it is objectively dominant, but because it excels from its humble beginnings.

I got this game when it was free on iOS 4 on my iPod Touch 2nd generation as an elementary schooler. A few days ago (now in college) I went to redownload the game only to realize I didn't have it on my new apple ID - I spent the $1.99 without hesitation. The developer has always made sure to keep their game up to date with the latest OS and screen sizes. The game has never had a bug or a glitch. It is a beautiful and soothing wholesome game. It gets me through difficult times. Thank you, kind developer.

This game is a classic and it’s calm atmosphere allows me to play at any time, no ads are fantastic. Making great slides are very satisfying, and having quests to strive for to get more nests adds a lot of replay value on top of the opportunity to collect a multitude of birds giving even more reason to play more, if I were to have one negative it would just be that the game jumps when I get a notification while mid run but it’s a minor gripe overall wonderful game!

My wife and I have played this a lot over the years. It’s simple, fun, and one of the few games I always make sure to install when I upgrade my phone. It’s simple and so much fun. The challenges are nice addition to just trying to get further and further. Love the music too. It does seem like it could use some updating for the latest iPhone X/Xs/Xr models. Mostly the rounded corners seem to slightly get in the way of the day/night indicator. It’s a minor issue though, extremely minor. M

The greatest app game of all time, of all time. Once you get it, never ever delete it. It will still be fun, enjoyable, relaxing, peaceful, joyful, and challenging five years from now, just like it's been for the past five years. I like a lot of games, casual and otherwise, and this is in the top 5 on any console. Seriously, I'm so happy this still exists. And it's from an era when a talented dev could just put out a game, charge 0.99 for it, and then never bother you for freemium money again. Support this dev!!

I’ve had this game for years and I always go back to it and play it. Controls and everything about it is great and a classic. I wish and hope they had abilities to customize your main bird (not the babies) and give him clothes and change his color and stuff. Also to add more levels and worlds to choose from on the main story (again not the babies lol) but that’s just extra stuff, still amazing!

Tiny wings is one of the best games to ever come out of the App Store. It’s quality, design and music is unrivaled and gives you such a tranquil and enjoyable playing experience. I used to play this on my I touch back so many years ago and downloaded it out of nostalgia thinking it wouldn’t have been updated all these years like so many old games but it has been constantly increasing in quality. I’d rate it 6 stars if I could.

I play this game religiously and just got on today and saw the entire graphics have changed, the mobility of the bird is different, even the physics in this game feel different. I understand the aesthetic changes and find them very beautiful, but the rest is absolutely unnecessary. I love this game and the changes that were made aesthetically are very nice and do make the game feel more fun, but the rest is just turning an overtly simple and relaxing game into yet another complicated blue light saturated nightmare. Sometimes it’s okay to keep things simple.

I love this game. From the calming music to the cute little birds, from just playing it this game will have you in a chill mood. I had played this game when I was younger, and coming back to it had not only brought back good nostalgia, but also great vibes for the rest of the day. I honestly feel like more mobile games should be like this, or at least try to be, because it has definitely put an impact on many people, including me. Definitely recommend.

I don’t say this lightly. I’ve been using iOS for 12 years and I always come back to tiny wings to relax. Today I wanted to share my gratitude because after a horrible week, once I had some time for myself and I wanted to play something, I sat down to relax in my phone and I went straight to tiny wings. Consistently, for about 10 years I’ve had the game somewhere on my devices. Thank you!

2 years after the last game update and NINE years after its release, this game is STILL #4 on the top casual games. It’s not hard to see why. Incredibly addictive, cute, very catchy music, unique art style and even more unique game mechanic. One of my favourite pick-up-and-play games of all time, on any platform. Other great games have disappeared, for example when Apple cutover to 64-bit-only, and that was a great shame. I hope this game persists forever. It’s timeless.

I had this game a few years ago and totally forgot about it. But today I was looking on the App Store, I saw it and said “Hey, I think I remember this game.” And I remembered a while ago saying that this game was so good, and it still is to this day. The gameplay is amazing, the islands, and the sounds are amazing. Just an overall great game. I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a game to play and enjoy for a long time. 5 stars.

When I was little, me and my mom used to play this together and eventually with my little sister when she understood the game, I adored this game but eventually we all got older and busier Fast forward 7-8 years later I remembered the game and downloaded it on my phone, it just brings back the good memories when I was small just having fun on my mom’s iPad. $1.99 is completely worth for this awesome game

I played this game ever sense I was like 4y old, and I just re purchased it at now 14y old and I love this game so much! I’m so excited every time and the boys are super fun bc they are each a challenge and works well, but maybe soon a change would be nice like an option to do bots or play online and get different joints and fish, also maybe customization would be fun with those points:) still luv this game:D

This game has literally everything that a relaxing mobile game can offer: TV support, great music, nesting system, the works. Competitive gameplay against an AI is the mildly challenging aspect of it that many games oversimplify. However this game is frothy and sweet in it’s graphics, satisfaction and gameplay. Whoever is reading this, please don’t think you will waste 2 dollars on this game. You won’t regret buying this.

I also played this game on my Dad’s phone when I was a little girl. I would lay on his chest while he napped and giggle to myself when I got a new high score. My Dad died abruptly in 2019 and little things like this keep me close to him. The art in the game is beautiful, stylized but not too cartoonish. The music is so peaceful and the controls are very easy to pick up. Outstanding game. I recommend it to anyone.

I recently downloaded this game after reminiscing about the times I used to play it on my iPod Touch. The wholesome storyline, textural artwork, and easy to learn game mechanics make it a worthwhile purchase. The music and sound effects go with it perfectly as well, it’s just overall a really well made and iconic game that has stood the test of time. Thank you Andreas Illiger for making this masterpiece!

I am so happy that this game is still going strong. So many great games I used to play have now been left behind as iOS updates have continued to roll out…but not this one. The details are gorgeous, the gameplay is simple enough to master but the levels are challenging enough to provide interest, and the sounds are so soothing. Thank you for keeping Tiny Wings alive and well!
