About the game

Fly a fairy through a twilight grove. Tap to flap, hold to glide, gather blossoms.

A glimmer drifts through a moonlit mushroom grove. Tap anywhere to flap upward; hold to glide, sinking slowly and carrying much further. Thread the gaps between the mushroom caps, gather the blossoms strung along the way, and slip past wasps and spiders on their threads. Reach the checkered finish line to clear the grove; each of the twelve groves flies a little faster than the last. A dew bubble shields one hit, a star is worth ten blossoms, and collected blossoms unlock new glimmers to fly. Build your own grove in the Grove Editor and fly it. Everything runs on the device - no internet, no accounts, no purchases.
