Our Expert Score

88/100

Flight is a masterclass in the 'easy to play, hard to master' genre. You start with a simple paper plane and a dream of reaching the other side of the world. What follows is a surprisingly addictive loop of throwing, upgrading, and soaring through different countries.

The progression system is perfectly paced. Just when you think you've reached your max distance, you unlock a new engine or a better toss, and suddenly you're flying over the Eiffel Tower. The wind mechanics and the 'stars' you collect for boosts add a layer of strategy to every throw. It’s a lighthearted, wholesome experience that manages to be both exciting and incredibly Zen.

Flight! is a casual arcade game that tells the story of a young girl's wish traveling across the world in the form of a paper plane. Players 'throw' the plane using touch gestures and steer it through the air to collect stars and paper cranes. These items act as currency to upgrade the plane's aerodynamics, weight, and special abilities. With each successful flight, you progress to a new country, uncovering beautiful artwork and a gentle, evolving narrative. It’s a game about persistence, upgrades, and the simple joy of flying.

Features

Tips

Optimal Launching

The initial throw is the most important part of the flight. Swipe upward at a 45-degree angle with high velocity to maximize your altitude early. This allows you to dive later and gain much-needed speed to hit the boost stars.

Upgrading Your Aircraft

Focus your early coins on 'Lightness' and 'Handling.' A lighter plane stays in the air longer with less effort, and better handling allows you to swoop down and grab cranes without crashing into the ground.
