How do I get off the island?
Hear the inventors at camp, gather what their ideas need, and build three of them with the inventor. Then put them on your plane in the workshop, test it off the cliff, and when a test makes it to the ship, take your final try before the storm.
Every island has at least one way out.
What do the phone’s checks tell me?
The phone flies your plane the same way the test will, and each check reads one thing off that flight: how far it glides, whether it gets fast enough, whether it stalls or dives, whether the engine holds its height, and whether the frame holds. Green means it holds up in the flight.
Each check uses some battery, and the phone charges a little every morning.
My plane keeps stalling or diving. What do I change?
Run the Balance check. It tells you whether to move the weight forward or back, or that no notch fixes it and you need a steadier tail.
What does “builds left” mean?
Listening to an inventor is free. Building an idea with them takes a day, and you get six of those per island, so pick the ideas your plane needs.
What’s the sandbox?
It opens after you get off your first island. Set the cliff, the ship and the wind, use any idea, and test as much as you want.
Where do the ads show up?
One at most after a test flight’s result or after your final try, never after the first flight of a session, and no more than one every five minutes. There are no banner ads, and no ads at camp, on the map, in the workshop, in Learn or in the sandbox.
I bought Remove ads. How do I get it back on a new phone?
Sign in to the same Google Play or App Store account, then tap Restore purchases on the start screen.
Does it need the internet?
No. The game plays offline, start to finish. Ads just need a connection to load.
Still stuck?
