Fly the Rings.

Use the arrow keys to guide the airplane through the sky rings. After the rings, dodge a flock of birds. Hold the Right Arrow to accelerate up to 600 mph, and keep the wing angle below the stall point.

Remember: speed helps the wing make lift. Raising the wing angle makes the airplane climb; lowering it makes the airplane descend.

How to fly

The rings alternate high and low and are spaced far apart. Use the arrows to line up early for each one.

  • ↑ Up Arrow: increase the wing angle and climb.
  • ↓ Down Arrow: decrease the wing angle and descend.
  • → Right Arrow: hold the throttle to accelerate up to 600 mph.
  • Up and Down respond immediately. When you let go, the airplane gently levels itself.
  • Keep the wing angle below 16°. Too much angle makes the wing stall and ends the flight.
  • Fly through all 5 rings.
  • After ring 5, survive a 20-second bird challenge. The birds speed up near the end.
