Flap to climb. Glide to drop. Commit to a dive. But every bite you carry makes you heavier — your weight is your status bar. Fly light and high, or fly fat and low.
Free to download. Your first 7 days are ad-free — after that a few short ads between runs, or unlock Remove Ads once and fly ad-free for good.
A side-scrolling vertical flyer with one wickedly simple twist: everything you grab weighs you down.
Food heals you, then it fattens you. The bird literally puffs up — no health bar, no numbers. Your body is the HUD.
Hold to rise against gravity, release to glide down gently, or commit to a dive you have to earn your way out of.
Climb from rolling hills, up through the clouds, into the stars. How high you reach depends on how light you're willing to travel.
Grab a weapon and your bird strikes threats on contact — no button. Match the right gear to the right hazard and swoop on through.
One thumb, three states. Reading gravity is the whole skill.
Hold anywhere
Hold to climb against constant gravity. The heavier you are, the harder you fight for every foot of altitude.
Let go
Release and drift down on the breeze. The gentle, precise way to line up a delicate landing on a collectible.
Hold to dive
A committed plunge that builds real momentum. Powerful — but dive heavy and you may not pull up before the ground.
Collectibles heal you — until they don't. Keep eating and your bird bloats, gets heavy, and loses the sky. Flying and fighting burn it back off. Overloaded and dropping fast? Drop an item for instant lift, or hit panic to ditch everything and claw your way back up.

Stuffed

Straight from the game — the whole climb, from the treetops to the stars.
Eight species from the Tech Artists bird library — the same flock you know from Bird Blitz and Dropping Birds, now taking to the skies.
