About the game

Glide a sugar glider through a candy sky. Swoop, collect gumdrops, dodge the clouds.

Sugar Drift is a one-touch flying game. Tap to swoop upward, hold to spread the membrane and glide back down, and fly a sugar glider from a honey-gold afternoon into the night, one leg at a time. Every leg ends at a waypoint that pays a bonus and gives a heart back, and every leg has its own sky: Honey Meadow, Candy Canyon, Soda Springs, Moonlit Gum Trees and Starfall. Chain gumdrops without a miss to lift your multiplier to ×5, snatch gold gumdrops from the tight gaps between clouds, and grab wattle blossom to pull a trail in. Dodge candy-floss clouds, weaving bees, dangling lollipops, fizzing soda jets and, once the light goes, owls that show their eyes at the edge of the sky before they strike. A star gives a bubble that soaks up one bump. Three tumbles per run, and the sky never stops quickening. A built-in Sky Editor lets you lay out your own stretch of clouds and gumdrops and fly it. Eleven languages and full gamepad support.

How to play

  1. Collect gumdrops. Unbroken chains lift your multiplier up to ×5; each one you miss knocks it down a step, and a tumble resets it.
  2. Dodge candy clouds, bees, droppers and fizz jets. When two eyes glow at the edge, an owl is coming at that height.
  3. A star gives a bubble that soaks up one bump. Wattle blossom pulls gumdrops to you. Gold gumdrops hide in tight gaps.
  4. Reach each leg’s waypoint for a bonus and a heart back. Three tumbles, and the sky never stops speeding up.
