Tiny Wings

Overview

Tiny Wings is an iOS game developed by German game creator Andreas Illiger and was released onto the iTunes App store on February 18, 2011. Andreas developed the project solely over the course of seven months. The game revolves around the player controlling a tiny bird whose wings are too small to fly. The user can tap the screen in order for the small bird to nosedive and gain momentum off rolling hills. The objective is to fly across as many islands as possible before nightfall arrives. The game features special challenges that the user can complete in order to permanently increase their score multiplier. In addition, a fundamental feature of the game is that the island's aesthetics are procedurally generated daily; presenting the player a vastly different look for each day.

Reception

Tiny Wings has been very highly regarded by critics alike. Touch Arcade gave the title a 5/5 score and remarked that, "The simple gameplay in Tiny Wings is sublime, but there is an intangible aspect that makes it a total joy to play". Likewise, GamePro lauded the game with praise, "This impressive one button App Store entry is simple by design, but deep and engaging enough to make it more than worth the ninety nine cent price point". Tiny Wings currently averages 5 stars on the App Store and an 86% on Metacritic.
