Best game i have recently played
The game is short sweet and wrapped up in a nostalgic little bow, i fux heavy with this game.. ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD IF YOU GIVE IT 10 MINUTES
Love it!
Like others say, it hearkens back to days of 'ol with the great graphics and hint of a story. At first, I did not like it, because I, too couldn't "figure out" the controls. When you start, it makes it seem like you have to tap the screen to make the character fly. I finally figured out "oh…! You keep pressing on the screen! Duh." When I figured that out, it didn't become easy, it's still very challenging, as someone said, the controls aren't "random," if you flip the character over, it reverses
?
The game now costs money again
To those controller freaks
The game is absolutely fabulous! And to the people that are saying the controls switch at random, (news flash) they don't. Pushing the right side of the screen will make him turn clockwise and counterclockwise for the left side of the screen. Whenever he gets to 12 o'clock, he will switch directions. When there is nothing touching the screen, he will go downwards whichever way he is facing. You are haters. The controls are actually quite smooth.

Great Game enough said. Challenge me on Game Center if you dare :) sharkdavid
Lovely game! Very entertaining!
This game is loads of fun to anyone who plays it. The retro style is lovely, and reminds me of the old cartoons similar to Felix the Cat. The pixelation also reminds me of the Game Boy I had when I was younger. It's very entertaining, and the calming atmosphere and difficult gameplay give it a good blend of difficulty, yet not mind boggling frustration. It's very fun, and I could play this for hours! Lovely job, keep up the great work!
Weird controls, but really good!
Feels like a gameboy game. The music is awesome, it’s challenging but fair, and mastering the controls is very rewarding. If you get too into it you can collect all the doves too, which gives it a little more longevity. Also employs simple yet effective storytelling.

Thank you dearly Nitrome for such an incredibly gorgeous and inspiring game. The graphics, the music, and the theme of flight are all extremely incredible, and I've beaten this game so many times that I want more! Adding a sad and interesting storyline could really make this game something else, and I think the dark and apocalyptic world sets a perfect layout for a story and character development. Overall a fantastic game an definitely worth the money. I love it!
Please update the game for iPhone X and later devices
Please update the game for iPhone X and later devices, game is not fitting the screen
Great Game, Wish there was more
Cool art style and a good balance of difficulty. Only wish it was updated to fit newer iPhone screens and had more levels

Good graphics, gameplay gets old
It fun at first but gets boring really fast, looks good though
Near impossible
Okay, one side turns you clockwise and the other, counter clockwise. Sounds easy. But wait...gravity?? The only straight direction you can go is down. I couldn't finish the 8th level after some 50 tries. The only think I appreciate about this game is the graphics.
Frustrating controls that you fight against
Has all of the fun of maneuvering a semi-truck around a parking lot at 40mph.
Otherwise, a very beautiful game. Wish I knew what will happen in later levels, but I have enough frustration in my life. No thank you.
