Tips & Tricks

  • You can fly anywhere you like, at any time. So, if you get stuck in one area, why not try flying to another island?
  • If you are having trouble in tight area, try flying at slow speed... you will have much more control.
  • Even when you dive straight down you are still moving forward slightly, so be sure to give yourself enough room in tunnels.
  • Your speedometer is on the bottom left of the screen. The needle starts facing down and rotates clockwise as your speed increases. When your speed is low the meter blinks red.
  • Your altimeter is on the bottom right of the screen and tells you what altitude your currently at. As your altitude increases, the dial moves clockwise. The small, red needle indicates the number of times the long, white needle has fully revolved around the dial.
  • Terminal velocity can only be reached by diving straight down. Terminal velocity is reached when the speedometer needle has gone around the dial completely.
  • Land on landing platforms by simply flying toward their tops. As you approach them you will land automatically.
  • High speed achievements require you are traveling at 75% of your top speed (terminal velocity).
