    One of the greatest success stories since day one of the app store, Andreas. Congratulations on your meteoric rise. The best part is that you truly realized your vision and the product of that vision makes people happy. What more could you want?

    Now you just need to get your birds in a row for what to showcase in the Apple commercial. I'm no Director, but I suggest the part with the bird and maybe some striped hills. Going up and down them is really fun too, so maybe highlight that, as well...

    (Not even sure if that is funny in English, let alone German).

    Congrats Andreas!!! Still can't believe 4 days when i bought this, it was nowhere to be found in the app store.

    Great work, can't say enough about your accomplishment.

    Grats on #1 in most of the world. I'm not sure why Canada still has Tasty Planet listed as first though lol. That will probably change soon. Tiny Wings has totally earned it.

    Props to you, djf, for starting the ball rolling here on the TA boards.

    I just saw the Appstore has updated and the game of the week is...Battleheart. Awesome game but should have been featured earlier. TW obviously doesn't need the recognition right now but still deserved the love.

    I will keep my congratulations to the developer when it improves the game with more content, achievements, GC and stuff, now it feels kinda empty.

    What?! That makes no sense at all. It's still a great success, gamecenter or not.

    Anyway, congratulations once again Andreas, great job!

    People figure out any tricks to get the most out of the ramps? I cant figure out any reliable way to eliminate bouncing over the sexy parts of the ramp, presumably reducing my speed and score.

    Bought the game! Congrats on its success.

    My only suggestion - as mentioned in the beginning of the thread by others - is not to make the bird fall asleep so abruptly - it does seem like he dies :p

    Make us lose control of it, but gently break its pace, that's my recommendation :)

    Asides from that, THANKS!

    Regards,

    Paulo Tavares

    I'm still wondering which one of you has access to Andreas' brain to know that he was inspired by wavespark.

    It annoys me how he just assumes that Tiny Wings borrowed Wavespark's gameplay. It's not like the game design is so ingenious that no one else would think of something similar.

    Although I do have to admit the timing is a little suspicious (Wavespark came out in Feb 2010, Tiny Wings started being made around April).

    Epox, don't put up your review (from a different site) onto here if you don't want to get banned :/

    I feel like a proud father seeing this be so popular :D
