=======
PixWing is going to change the way you think about arcade flying forever. With unique whole-body controls you have a total 360 degrees control where you look at. Your device becomes a mirror into the game world... and the world itself if gorgeous to look at with vigorous colors, various environments and pixel-art graphics with modern 3D style. Play as you like: beat time challenges and shoot blimps or just fly around finding collectibles.

UNIQUE CONTROLS
With gyroscope you'll need to turn up and down, left and right to navigate. PixWing even tracks the amount of calories you burn that way.
Of course you can always switch to regular touchstick controls.
VIGOROUS GRAPHICS
High fidelity but retro-style visuals using vivid colours make flying around joyful and entertaining. Explore surreal aztec ruins, a tropical volcano and a city built on floating island. There's also a wide range of planes - from simple avions to flying cars and monsters.
EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER
Well-balanced gameplay allows everyone to enjoy the game. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a pleasant flight or a tight time challenge - PixWing has it all.
EXTRAS
- Game Center support with leaderboards and achievements
- High quality, arcade-style music
- Complete package - no in-app purchases or advertisments
Innovative gameplay - but just isn't quite there yet. Good concept - but mediocre execution in terms of really using this type of control scheme. Nintendo has truly mastered this type of control (delta position change on accel) - Devs should study wii u.
I dunno.. Its interesting but ultimately pretty boring. The hook is simply the full use of gyroscope in your device to move around. It's a neat concept but it would make more sense if it was first person. If it was free, i'd recommend it - but for the price, buyer beware
It's a really neat game and I love the gyro gameplay. The only thing I wish was a little clearer is the plane stats, for instance what does the fist mean? Besides that, it's a great game.
Have started the game four times and it stops responding every time during the tutorial at the part where it says to fly through the way point. The waypoint doesn't appear; I can still control the direction of the plane but cannot get the plan to actually fly forward, it is just stuck hovering. The "touch this" button in the upper left corner is non-responsive. I am using an iPhone 6, anyone else having this issue? For now, I would have to give it avery low rating; App support does not actually offer support, only a bunch of promos for the game. UPDATE: Figured out that if I exit out of tutorial immediately at start, I can get to main menu & then select which level to play. With that worked out, I have now played for about an hour & agree that the gyro control option is pretty rough. How about an option to control sensitivity of gyro & thumb controls. I def would not recommend purchase, gyro controls need a lot of refinement & neither gyro or thumb controls have a sensitivity option. Sticking with a 1 star rating.
I don't see why the other reviews are so low, yes the game Is a bit dry at the moment. But it is a great starting point something great! Recommendations to the developers: this is an amazing platform for a dogfighting game, it would be greatly Appreciated.
It's not long enough and it's $3.00. It's the worst game I've ever played. It's not even fun???????????????????????????????????
Enjoying the game so far. I have been looking forward to this since watching a preview and it is everything I expected. However, a frustrating bug is hindering my full enjoyment. I am using touch stick instead of gyro and, like any good pilot, I am using the stick inverted. Upon starting a new level, controls revert to normal regardless of invert being toggled. Must pause and untoggle and re toggle to get back inverted controls. Please fix.
These kind of games with this kind of graphics are SO TIRED! So is flying through hoops! Deleted........
