Game Review: Tiny Wings (iPhone)

Rating: ★★★★½

Tiny Wings is a phenomenon almost the size of Angry Birds. It’s simple, yet addictive in a way that’s completely unexplainable. The game revolves around the idea that you’re a bird (go figure!) that has those little wings, and yet you want to fly. So you use the hills (which by the way are randomly generated everyday so the game always looks differently) to gain momentum and jump into the air, where flapping those little wings can give you a few seconds of flight. There are islands between which you travel, coins to collect and clouds to touch. There are also achievements to achieve (which is a nice thing and makes the gameplay less boring after a while). The only thing that can ‘hurt’ you is the sun setting, so your time of flight is limited, but other than that you can’t really “die” in this nice, colourful game which makes it all the more “fun”.

It’s one of those games that should get boring after a while and yet it doesn’t. It’s mesmerizing and when I’m looking at my games folder thinking what to play casually for a short while it beats the other games nearly every time. You can get it on the App Store for 0,69 quid, and sadly there’s no iPad version (yet), but it does play well even in 2x mode.
