Addiction to “Tiny Wings”
Apr 23, 8:00 am

Yes, I am addicted to Tiny Wings! The game is easy to understand and very simple to play- all you need to do is stay ahead of the sun! Sounds easy? It’s all about the timing and precision of where you want you little birdy to land. All you do is touch your finger to the screen to get the bird to dip, trying to fiy perfectly into the downward slope of hills, and then let go after it gains speed. If you do this properly you will gain more distance, and in turn, gain more points. Once you’ve mastered dip diving the slopes, then you can concentrate on the objectives that will help you rack up your points and to beat your opponents score. After completing each objective, you get to a new nest of x10, x12 and so on until you reach the end of the game x28 nest. (which is where I’m stuck at)…

You’ll have to choose how you want to play the game. Whether you want to gain points by getting coins and doing cloud touches to rack up the points, or to gain speed and just stay ahead of the sun, the game gives you a variety of tasks to accomplish in order to get a new nest. The goals and rewards keep you wanting to make it to the next level and locked into the game as they work towards those slight rewards. Nothing violent or dismaying happens when the round is over; the sun simply sets and the bird goes back to sleep.

This game easily gets you sucked in—you can spend 15 minutes playing and then walk away, feeling you already gotten your money’s worth. If you’re like me, you’ll spend much more time than that playing Tiny Wings and you’ll be thinking about it when you’re not playing. You can get a round in anytime you want, and at $1, there’s little disappointment if you don’t like it.
