Is On The Wind the new Tiny Wings?

I like On The Wind for all the same reasons that I loved Tiny Wings: the one-touch game play, the constant action, the oh-so-gradually increasing skill that keeps it a challenge. The simple but colorful art has a pleasing, organic feeling that matches the graceful flocking of the leaves. I like how the music is generated by your performance. Is it music, or sound effects, or both?

The developer recommends playing with your left thumb to improve visibility of whats coming up, so you have those crucial extra milliseconds to react. I dont have enough agility in my left hand for that. (This might be one of the few games where lefties have a distinct advantage.) Instead, I use a stylus in my right hand, held high up on the barrel so I can see better.

Playing this game is almost like meditation. I pick it up when I need to release the tension in my thinking and open my mind.

On The Wind is sure to become a classic once more people discover it.
