    What a fantastic game! I don't think I can add anything new that hasn't been said about this game already. I picked it up last night, and I can barely put it down. :)

    Dev's answer regarding Retina was "May be".

    I know that some people said that blurry watercolour graphics add certain charm, but I for one would love retina supported graphics. I think the game would look more vibrant then.

    BTW, probably one of the most addicting games I have ever played.

    I got this yesterday after a good friend gave me a little nudge *ahem* and its simply, what's the word, endearing. There's alot of good games in the app store that never make that connection or have that charm to touch your heart the way this one does. It oozes with cuteness and buries itself in your soul like few other games do. Friends have told me they are dreaming Tiny Wings. Wow! That says something.
    All I know is when that tiny narcoleptic bird launches into the air with a whoop, I feel it's exhilaration. Thanks for the nudge DJ!

    Really great game here, boils down to being exactly the type of game that the iOS/app store are meant for. Small, casual, creative and fun games independently developed. I don't know how huge this game will become, or if it will take off at all, but I think if the dev is a smart buisness man, he will send a swack of free copies over to rovio, and attempt to negotiate them into a simple cross promotion between the two games. Put an angry birds playable character in here, and have a tiny wings bird put into AB, it wouldn't help AB out much, but it would send this game into the stratosphere.You may think its selling out, but it's what this game needs to make it in the app store, and if there was ever a game that could convincingly cross with AB it's this.

    Also I love howit feels like kometan + fly kiwi fly, both brilliant games, and this is even more brilliant.

    I also would love to go higher than the clouds, Much higher, but that may require a new mode.
    I would love to see a truly endless, non scoring zen mode, that has more forgiving slopes, and maybe an endless cycling of seasons instead of day/night.

    No no.. Some objectives are challenging really. Howlingwolf is a fiend in this game. But yay, more nests!

    Absolutely fantastic. Gem doesn't do this game justice. I can say without the slightest hesitation that you NEED to buy this game if you own an iDevice. The artwork is stunning, the gameplay is simple but downright perfected, and it has an unending cup of charm.

    Someone made the suggestion of adding an endless zen mode and I couldn't agree more. This game, despite having you constantly fight for a high score, objectives, and against time, is soothing and relaxing. An endless mode is perfect for this game.

    Do the world a favor and continue with game design. I can wholeheartedly say anything you put up on the App Store will be an instant buy for me.

    And how about a coffee powerup placed in the clouds. Each gives you 10seconds of "extra time" when night falls :)

    Well, not every game with a bird in it is an angry birds game. Tiny Wings is a distance game with certain goals to achieve while Angry Birds is a projectile physics game. Totally different. If you ask me this is a far more charming (far far more) game.

    Btw Prab excellent suggestion!

    it would be better if the night could be designed a bit different like it is chasing you a bit before it catches you and maybe not just a blue wall
