Tiny Wings 2 is free update

Tiny Wings 2 will be a free update to the original version.

The new game is titled Tiny Wings 2.0 and will feature a Flight School mode where players race against three AI controlled birds across 15 levels.

An iPad version will also be released which includes the original game and content from Tiny Wings 2.0.

Game creator Andreas Illiger spoke about his reasons for releasing the version as a free update.

He told TouchArcade: “I worked on the 2.0 version for the last 12 months and everyone told me I should make a separate app out of it and sell it again (because it is almost a new game and I would earn a lot more money).

"It was a heavy decision for me to give away this new version for free but it feels right.

“So I decided to give it away for free as a big ‘thank you’ to all my fans for changing my life. That’s really important for me and the reason why I make this little stupid marketing trick of confusing my fans before the release.”

Tiny Wings 2.0 will be released on the Apple App Store across all regions over the next day.
