You're able to guide Flyro through the sky by dragging your finger across the bottom of the screen. You must dodge bombs, giant boxing gloves, and electric moving hallways to stay alive. Some obstacles you won't be able to find a way around, so you'll have to morph into a flame to burn your way through. Collect coins consecutively to increase your multiplier and climb the leaderboards. The game includes a variety of objectives to complete, dynamic music and sound created by Portal 2 composer Mike Morasky, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You miss the good old days of mobile gaming. This is a classic.

You’re tired of the same endless distance game concepts.
