Master the art of flying. Dive off mountains, weave across forests and glide over rivers to unlock new abilities as you explore a vast, peaceful world.
Use the ancient power of the Windfolk's enchanted capes to hone your skills, take on challenges and fly through obstacle courses that will make your heart soar. Explore an expansive island in this open-world adventure inspired by wingsuit flying.
Features:
• Flying at your fingertips: Inspired by the real-world sport of wingsuit flying, the position of Laya's arms change the shape of her cape just like a bird's wings. Move your thumbs independently or together to steer, boost, rise and dive using intuitive controls.
• Endless exploration: Cut through the air in high-speed races and try not to crash as you carefully maneuver through challenging obstacle courses. If you're in the mood for a relaxing adventure, simply enjoy the beauty of the island and fly without a goal.
• Complete challenges, upgrade your skills: This game is filled with more than 50 exciting missions from many characters, over 40 challenge levels and more than 100 collectables to keep you flying. Unlock capes and charms to help boost your abilities.
• High risk, high reward: Power your flight by flying boldly. Fly close to everything — from hot air balloons to snowy slopes. This will allow you to absorb the island's energy and keep flying fast. If you feel a drop in energy, simply dip low and close to your environment to collect sparks and boost.
• Find your own way to fly: Discover a unique set of flying abilities as you unlock enchanted capes and charms on your journey. Try out different equipment combinations to increase boost speeds, conserve energy and improve maneuverability.
• Get lost in beautiful horizons: From the winding rivers of the Highlands to the towering rock formations of Stone Forest, each patch of terrain offers a distinct flying experience. Weave through narrow caves filled with ancient ruins, skim over massive waves, dodge raging geysers and so much more.
• Meet interactive characters: An eclectic group of people, the Windfolk are as diverse as the land they live on, which makes meeting them as interesting as discovering the island itself.
• Exclusive music and calming design: Original music and handcrafted audio welcome you into the world of the Windfolk. Adaptive audio matches the movement and intensity of your flying for a totally immersive experience. Enjoy an orchestral score that provides the perfect ambience to your flight and environment.
• An improved gamepad experience: We’ve added gamepad support to most menus. Settings and full map control coming soon.

Immersive and beautiful and addictive!
I downloaded this game on a whim, and it was one of the luckiest things I’ve done this year. This game is perfection without a controller; but with a controller, it’s perfection with a cherry on top! The environments, the music, the whimsical characters, and minimal narration all combine into an immersive and smile inducing experience that shouldn’t be missed. I hope to see this game ported into virtual reality or something soon!

clunky controls ruin my experience
Controls are overly complicated. I get that they were trying to mimic where the glider's hands are with your finger's positions on the screen, but they ended up really clunky. I stopped playing after about 15 minutes because once I got the hang of the controls, I discovered I couldn't do 2 things at once, such as turn while climbing or turn while diving or turn while boosting or turn while boosting. The natural comparison would be Sky: Children of Light, but I found the controls so poorly thought out that they reminded me of the original Mario Cart. Don't get me wrong, it's totally playable, but it's not intuitive, and it's definitely not seamless. Graphics are choppy like N64, and there didn't seem to be a cute artsy reason for it. I didn't play long enough to find out if there is a story or bigger goal to the whole game, but it seemed to be centered around completing challenges, which is fine.
