About the game

You fly a kite made of ember. Hold anywhere to climb and the kite flaps its wings. Let go to glide. Flapping burns your ember fast, while gliding saves it, so the trick is knowing when to do which.

Grab sparks to keep your ember alight. Birds, hot-air balloons, paper kites and rock spires knock a chunk off your ember. Planes and lightning are deadly, so watch for the warnings.

Runs are quick, the sky goes from sunset to storm as you fly, and there’s always a best score to beat.
