Tiny Wings is an avian-based smartphone game, but it's no Angry Birds rip-off, though it does have similarly contagious playability.

This instantly-playable time-killer is for everyone who ever dreamed of flying. You control the fate of a small bird whose wings just aren’t large enough to get the job done, so he’s forced to use gravity to propel himself into the air by sliding down slopes and back up ramps.

It’s your job to send him higher and longer with each leap skywards making sure you land on the downslopes to continue the run of successful jumps.

It’s a simple game, but one of the most addictive and loveable at the App Store.
