About the game
Fly a biplane anywhere in a huge open sky with a joystick: visit six places, find hidden sky gems, and chase stars past the storms.
A flying game in a huge open sky. Put a finger anywhere and a joystick appears under it: steer your red Pitts biplane left and right, climb and dive, hold Boost to race along and tap Loop for a loop-the-loop. Six places to fly to — Cloud Castle, Floating Islands, Rainbow Arches, Lighthouse Bay, Balloon Fields and Flock Peaks — with 18 sky gems hidden among them and a ring course at each. Play Star Quest to collect stars and fly through gold rings all over the sky while dodging storm clouds and, every fifth level, a supercell that hunts you; or pick Free Flight and just explore, with no storms and no lives. Five cameras from close behind the plane to top-down, three lives per run, endless levels, and a Sky Editor for building your own.
How to play
- Put a finger anywhere and a stick appears under it. Push left or right to turn. Like a pilot’s stick, push up to dive and pull down to climb (Settings can swap this). Hold Boost to go faster, tap Loop for a loop-the-loop. Keys: arrows or WASD to fly (up dives, down climbs), Space to boost, E to loop.
- Collect every star and fly through every gold ring to clear a level. The gold arrow points to the nearest one. Each level sends you to a different part of the sky.
- Dark storm clouds cost a life. Some sit still and some drift in — a red marker shows one coming. Every fifth level a supercell hunts you and shows the line its lightning will strike: climb, dive or turn out of it.
- Six places to visit: Cloud Castle, Floating Islands, Rainbow Arches, Lighthouse Bay, Balloon Fields and Flock Peaks. The map in the corner shows where they are. Fly too far and a friendly wind turns you home. Bumping into things is safe, but it breaks your chain.
- No storms and no lives — just fly. Find the 18 sky gems hidden around the six places (they twinkle when you are close), and fly through each place’s ring course. What you find is saved.
- You start with three. Lose them all and the run ends — your best score is kept.
- Collect the next star or ring quickly to keep your chain going: every fourth in a row adds one to each one’s worth. Rings are worth two. Bumping into anything breaks the chain.
- Change the view with the camera button, the C key, or a gamepad’s View button: close, chase, cockpit, high or top-down.
