Why I love TinyWings
I know this has nothing to do with Catholic media, but I want to share with you how much I love the new iPhone game TinyWings. Within a few days, this game skyrocketed to the number 1 position in the iTunes app store, even pushing the super popular game Angry Birds off its throne!
The game features an overweight little bird that doesn’t have the strength to fly. However, using the hills in his surroundings, it can gather speed and launch itself high up in the air. You try to ‘fly’ as far as possible before night falls. Everything about the game is perfect. The cute graphics and sounds, the music, the game physics and the I-have-to-try-it-one-more-time factor. And it’s only 99 cts.
Remarkable
What makes the success of this game so remarkable, is that the game is made by a German independent programmer. Just a guy with a great idea and a great sense of style. In a time when media seem to be dominated by big publishing companies, it’s refreshing and inspiring to see that an indie developer can still be so successful.
Most Catholic new media producers don’t work for big companies that can develop and advertise their ideas. The Church faces tremendous competition from all those big media that bombard us with information and entertainment. Can the Catholic voice still be heard in this loud and overcrowded media world? This success of this little bird shows us that despite our tiny wings, creativity, perseverance and dedication can bring us to great heights!
You can buy the game TinyWings in the AppStore via this link below. You will not regret it, it’s one of the best games out there!
