Desert Bird: One-Tap Flyer

Cross the desert on one thumb. DESERT BIRD is a one-tap arcade flying game. Tap to beat your wings, let go to glide, and slip through gate after gate as the dunes roll past. It starts easy. It does not stay easy. And it works with your phone in one hand and no signal in sight. ONE TOUCH, ALL TIMING Tap to flap. Release to glide. That is the entire control scheme. Everything after that is nerve: shave the edge of a gate to thread it for bonus points, and take every coin in a row to build a combo up to 5x. Miss one and the chain snaps. FIVE WAYS TO FLY - Normal: the endless run. Fly until you clip a wing. - Pro: faster scroll, tighter gaps, for players who have stopped crashing. - Course: a daily track of 50 gates. Same layout for everyone, one best score per day, a fresh one tomorrow. - Zen: wider gates, a slower pace, unlimited lives. Nothing is scored and nothing is lost. Just flying. - School: four short drills that teach threading, combos and clean runs. EIGHT BIRDS, EIGHT FEELS Sparrow, Finch, Swift, Kestrel, Falcon, Owl, Hummingbird and Roc each carry their own lift, weight and wingspan. The Hummingbird flutters light and quick. The Roc is heavy and takes the sky in long, slow arcs. Find the one that matches your thumb. 142 CARDS TO COLLECT Card packs drop while you play: every 1,200 gates, on every level up, and from missions.
