    I'm not liking taking it off topic but I buy plenty of games and prefer buying games, what I meant by saying I'll try if it's free is that it doesn't grab my attention enough for my personal taste to want to spend money. I'm not one of those that expect everything to be free or anything like that. Everyone's interest is what drawn me to look here.

    I already have a fondness for this game since i got it free on my PS4. I actually prefer the iOS version, it is a natural fit for this platform. Looks, sounds and controls great. Five stars from me :)

    I just picked this up. Does this have everything the steam game offers?

    That's actually the question I have. Right now it's literally the core game itself, but having played the Steam version rather intensively, there's a lot more on offer.

    Hoping this'll be added at some point?

    Five stars all day!

    For anyone worried about the controls the game is played in landscape orientation and it uses on screen controls, no tilt. Tapping the outer edge of the left side of the screen turns left fast, tapping the left inner side of the screen turns left more slowly. Tapping the right outer edge of the screen turns right fast, Touching the inner right side of the screen turns right slowly.

    And that's pretty much it and it works. I played the game until about 1am and made it through some levels. I love the entire daily level mode. I love the sense of speed and the rush you get making it to the next area.

    Everything ran smoothly on my IPhone 5s running iOS 8.4 I had no issues, lag spikes, nor any crashes whatsoever.

    The game is well worth the price I paid. There are no ads whatsoever nor any in app purchases. It's a fully premium experience! Thank you dev team for a great time!

    Fantastic game. Great job @ flipfly. This is the way endless should be done - it feels like you're completing levels and the progression is great. Plus I love anything to do with flying :) Controls, tempo, art, levels are all top notch, looking forward to the level reset - that should be interesting, keep it fresh.
    What I'm most blown away by is I'm way ahead of most of the names I recognize here on the leaderboards. I can only assume @metalcasket is playing the ton of other awesome releases and just hasn't found the time yet to kick my @ss. @anotherkellydown is also MIA, I should enjoy this while I can... usually the only time I get good leaderboard status is if I'm the first one to download...

    You are absolutely right that games are a very subjective thing. I would never put someone down because they don't like what I like. However the hype for this game was not only spot on but justified. I cannot stop playing. I just went and purchased it on Steam as well. That's how much fun it is. I'm having a really hard time trying to come up with something I don't like about it lol.

    I don't normally do endless runner style games but this is a bit special. One thing I've not worked out yet is how the touch closer to the edge of the screen to turn faster thing works. Everywhere I touch seems to just turn at the same speed...... (I've only played it for a few mins admittedly)
