Tiny Wings

Sad Professor

Everyone was moaning about discussion of this game taking up too much space in the apps threads, so here is it's very own thread.

So how far has everyone got? What's your highest score? What objective are stuck on?

And here's a link to the game for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

I gave up playing it.
Dont get me wrong, its a great game and is definitely a must buy.
But i got the cloud-slides objectives and my friend told me what he was on and i cant for the life of me bring myself to try and complete what im on just to be met with even more painstakingly tough objectives.

Completed everything bar scoring higher than 175,000 points. Achieved 174,312 and fell asleep. Nearly smashed my phone, have not played it since. Update or no update!

This happened to me as well. Took me about a week to get it. I've gone over 175k several times since.

I'm currently stuck on the last three objectives: get to the 9th island, etc. The 8th island is impossible.

I find it extremely addictive. My highest is 178001.

Beat that!

Mr. Manager

When you finish the challenges:

* Reach the 9th island
* Fly through the 4th island in fever mode
* Do 20 cloudtouches not being in fever mode

It just says, "You're now a Master".

Guess that's game over...

Sad Professor

They will add more objectives in future updates. The ones above were only added in the last update and weren't in the game originally.

Has anyone got past island 9?

Mr. Manager

A friend is close, ending shortly before the end of lvl 9.

Yep I'm the same, got 173,000 and the phone nearly took flight across the room.

I then bought an iPad and haven't been playing it as much. Must go back to it at some stage. God I hope they don't add more challenges, they're bloody tough. Great original game though.

Sad Professor

It looks really good on the iPad. That's how I've been playing it mostly.

What challenge I can't beat is get to island 4 without a perfect slide. Just can't not slide.

Daysha

I'm on those final set of challenges as well (the x28 ones). Haven't managed to get any of them either. I've only reached the 8th island once so getting to the 9th is a major ask, fly through the 4th island on fever mode is do-able, it's just all about that first landing, and doing 20 cloudtouches not being in fever mode is just flat-out ridiculous.

Top Score: 184,063
Longest fever: 42.7s
Great Slides: 49
Cloudtouches: 28
Coins Eaten: 234

Best advice I can give you is to try stay on the ground as much as possible. Ride it like a rollercoaster I think one person said in the other thread.

Most frustrating game I've played on the iPhone. Get weird looks at lunch in work when I keep tutting every few minutes.

I can't do this bloomin 20 cloud touches without fever and I ALWAYS lose my fever on the first loop of the 4th island! I'm starting to want to give up with the last objective it's making me dislike the game

Only thing I can suggest is to try to pick your valleys. If it means that you have to drop quickly after rising, then drop, don't draw your flying distance on too much as you'll be getting horizontal movement which will make it more difficult to get vertical. The best way to get cloud touches is to have a heavy brake thumb imo.

Sad Professor

They really need to make the fourth island easier on the next update. It's too difficult, especially the first slope. But if you change the date it will reset all the slopes and sometimes you can get lucky.

My highest score is 199212.

I have to say I love this game. Got it sometime around the start of the year and been loving it since. Really addictive game. Graphics are excellent too.

Currently on the 28x Nest. I've reached the 9th Island and got about halfway through it.

Stuck on the 4th Island Fever and the 20 Cloudtouches not in Fever. This update is feckin difficult.

Cheers mate! I finished halfway through level 8 so it was just from a lot of fever from the beginning.

CMpunked

Pics or GTFO. :pac:

Gordon

Sure but it's a bit pointless as I'm good at photoshopping so could fake it easily.

I got a new one now. 211446 wasn't even trying to get a high score.

faking a high score with photoshop? you'd have to be a bit of a sad case to do that.

anyway, here's mine.

Sad Professor

My new high score is 211,379.

what?! so i photo-shopped a photoshop?! (which no one seemed to notice btw).

i declare shenanigans!

Gordon

Hehe, I hope he's serious about thinking that as it means that my high score is UNBELIEVABLE!

Sad Professor

I finally managed to get the 20 non-fever cloudtouches. Don't ask me how. I was trying to get to the 9th island when I got it.

1 objective down, 2 more to go.

Just got 255073! :eek:

Managed to get up to 222,497, but the objectives are still impossible!

DubDJ

Got the 20 cloudtouches and on the 9th island. Just the 4th island fever giving me trouble. Almost got it once except for once slip up. Getting close though.

mdwexford

235k.

Stuck on 4th island fever also, its so hard, that first landing is rock.

I'm finding the third jump on the 4th island most difficult. Just can't seem to hit it right.

On the first Jump wait for the third ditch. I kept going for the second until I realised the third is a lot easier. Now I make it most try's.

mdwexford

Cool ill give that a shot.

LukeS_

Just for anybody who doesn't believe me...

Gordon

Woohoo!! Well done that man

I think I'm giving up on this blasted 20 cloudtouches and 4th island palaver, it's just angering me now! Who will be the first to finish the final challenge?!

Thanks! I wasn't even going for a high score at the time. Just trying to get to Level 9 as somebody mentioned in this thread then I got that. :eek:

I can't even try them challenges as I have it through Installous (jailbreak) and I don't want to update just incase I lose my scores.

You can still update without losing your scores.

Sad Professor

Wooohooo!

I just got to the 9th island with a new high score of 212,541. I'd say I got off the 8th island about 1 second ahead of nightfall. For anyone still trying, don't give up. Concentrate on getting into fever mode and staying in it rather than trying to be fast.

This leaves me just one objective: the fourth island in fever mode.

DubDJ

I'm beginning to think that 4th island fever is impossible. Just cant get past it >:(
