Firemint was eaten by Electronic Arts (EA) and most of their games disappeared (including Puzzle Quest, which they acquired).

Companies should consider when they can open source things like this to let greatness live on, if they won't find a way to support it directly.

Tiny Wings was a masterpiece.

Switched to Android years ago and am still sad that Tiny Wings is the pretty much the only game that is Apple exclusive.

Maybe try Dragon, Fly! It is quite similar.

Tiny Wings still exists, and even came to Apple TV a couple of years ago, with some updates for newer iOS versions.

I keep a prepaid SIM in an old iPhone 4 as an emergency backup phone so I'm not SOL if I lose my phone because I don't have a landline at home. Every now and then I check on it to make sure it's still working and always end up playing a few rounds of Flight Control when I do.

There's a game that is a lawsuit worthy knockoff on the App Store right now. No complaints.

Wow there are a lot of them. And of course they all have in-app purchases :/
