XZIST PLAY · A COSY BIRD PUZZLE

A little flap.
A big difference.

Hop one bird forward and a little gust nudges another. Plan every flap so the whole flock gets home to its nests, then collect all 64 birds.

WHAT’S IN IT

One flap.
Two consequences.

Your bird hops one perch — and its gust of wind pushes the bird behind it. A tiny rule, and a lot of little puzzles to get your head around.

01

42 painted gardens.

Seven chapters that begin in a wildflower meadow and grow trickier, with sheltered nests, flower gates and boards of up to six birds. Undo is always free, and there is no timer, no move limit and no lives system.

02

A new puzzle every day.

A fresh daily garden, with the past week to catch up on — and 10,000 more gardens on the winding trail once the story is done. Earn three stars in a garden for the first time and you win a ticket for Seed Skim, a short bonus flight.

03

64 birds to earn.

From Pip the chick and a garden robin to twelve extinct species, each hand-illustrated. Every bird plays by exactly the same rules, so the collection is something to earn, never an advantage to buy.

A LOOK INSIDE

Cosy to look at,
clever to play.

Every shot below is a real frame from the game.

  1. A TumbleWing garden: three birds on tree stumps among nests, with flap direction buttons below

    Pick a bird, pick a direction, flap — and watch the gust.

    THREE STARS

    Fewer flaps earn more stars. Try again as often as you like.

    THE JOURNEY

    Seven chapters

  4. The flock collection: Pip, Ember and more birds with Choose bird buttons
    THE FLOCK

    SEED SKIM

    A bonus flight

    Thirty seconds of tapping through a trail of gold coins.

Every bird plays by exactly the same rules. The rarer ones cost more coins, never help you solve a puzzle. The twelve shaded gold are extinct birds, and those need three-star finishes in the gardens before you can bring them home.

FREE, AND FAIR

Nothing here is
locked behind money.

TumbleWing is free to play in full. Every bird can be earned by playing, and no purchase makes the game easier. There is one optional Supporter purchase, found in the Shop, and all it does is give 50% more coins from garden rewards and bonus flights.

Core gameplay runs entirely offline, because none of it needs a server. Your progress is yours, kept on your own device and never sent to us.
