Ava Airborne Reviews

by Cluster Donkey

The way the developers decided to implement micro transactions into the game is so abrasive that it ruins AvaAirborne . Games where you are encouraged to stay alive as long as you can benefit from a system where you can try again immediately. Here, you have to wait through 3 screens that can barley be sped up and a menu that asks if you want to watch ads for more in game currency. Pick up more than one present in a game? You have to pay to open it with in game currency. So many tactics and distractions just to tug at your wallet or get you to watch advertisements.

The game itself is fun with but has some flaws. It’s hard to judge altitude. Maybe put an indicator on the left hand side or make the steps in the sky more distinguished. The recovery system requires you to tap in order to regain control, but after you tap it feels like it requires additional taps in order to get your contraption to work.

The game itself is pretty fun, I’m ok with the in app purchases. The thing that kills the fun is the score tally screens. They take way too long. The red bubbles filling up the experience bar are cute the first 3 times after that it’s totally annoying. I get it you guys made a cute animation. Can you kill that or give us a fast forward. As you rise in levels the experience doesn’t even make that big a dent in the bar so we’re forced to watch these long played out animations time and time again. Game is fun but Jesus those screens are annoying af.

Developers: why did you change it? This game was one of my favorites for many reasons before your last update. The white is too bright, and the black looked better, especially on the collectible icons. The daily present used to give three or so gifts, such as some candies and a puzzle piece or two. Now it only gives you 5 to 10 candies and you have to watch a video to get another present of 5 to 10 candies. Finally, the play again screen that shows up after a run. I really liked the way it was before, with the smaller play again section and the other side that showed what collectibles and gliders you were using. So if you could change it back, I think your game would be enjoyable once more.

I like this game p, it’s very cute and fun to play. However, it has some serious bugs. First, some of the ads crash and you lost the credit you would have gotten for watching/playing the ad. Second, it reset the tutorial on mine and it kept making me go back to the basic glider. This also killed all the experience I earned one level, making it so I have to re-earn all my 6->7 experience. Lastly, there are presents that you can grab, but if you grab 2 or 3, 1 or 2 of those you have to “pay” for.

Again, cute and fun game, just has some issues that make it unenjoyable.

I want to like this game but it runs awfully on my iPad mini - the game will freeze for half a second at a time, stutter a bit etc, but the game is enjoyable otherwise. The not-continue wait and other annoy-you-til-you-spend-money bits are also a tad much.

Final score: 5* for ideas and basic gameplay, -1 for bad optimization & crashes (always while waiting to not-continue),-1 for making me wait too long too often through “delightful”animations, -1 for length of time to start a new game after death.

I give this three stars for the obstacles. Some are piloted like the anvil others are not like the lasers and death balloons. So how is it possible that the unpiloted obstacles can zoom in front of me and kill me. It’s triggering to get a near 3,000 M run then hello says the laser or death balloon.

Another issue is the videos for doubleing your candy it never works. Possible cause the devs what you to buy the doubleing bot.

In all it’s a peaceful game with some super annoying features. 3/5

In all honesty, I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Awesome for wasting free time, and didn’t push you through a pay wall to continue to have fun. Even simple enough to play with one hand. But after reaching the ninth level, I noticed a glitch that refused to let me start a game. I could get to the start screen, but the screen seemed to multiply with every touch, not allowing me to play. I had to delete this game, but I would certainly go back if it could be fixed.

So I think this game is really fun but what annoyed me is that I started playing on my iPhone. I then downloaded the game on my iPad. For some reason my level in the game transferred (7 cannonball) but my candies didn’t and I couldn’t access the store or any of my gliders.

My other complaint is that when you collect multiple presents, you can open the first one but it makes you pay for the others in candy. If I collected it, why do I have to pay to open it. Also, I think the lunchboxes that you buy for 50 candy should come as a bonus or something you can collect in intervals because you can only get one piece and you have to watch an ad to get more. Kind of a ripoff IMO. Anyway, that’s what I think about this game.

Dear Developers...
While playing my favorite game, a problem popped up whenever you wanted to fly Ava. When it gives you the option to fly the Ava contraptions or the plane races, it won’t let you go into any of them. The more you click the buttons for either game, the surrounding screen just gets darker and darker until the background is black, and you’re stuck with the two game modes frozen on your screen. Please fix this soon, this is an amazing game and I really don’t want to delete it 😖

The game is pretty good. It has cool features and mechanics and I enjoy how the level changes up once you level up. However, for the past few days J have not been able to load the game. Whenever I would enter the game, it would show the first screen and then a white blank one. I’ve waited for some time with the white screen but nothing has ever happened. It happens every time. It makes the game unplayable. I have fully updated everything including my IOS and the game itself. Nothing worked. Can you please fix this?

So I’ll give a 4 star. It would’ve been a 5 star but there are problems.

First of all, most of the ads will not play at all even when I’m clearly connected to the internet and it just says the video failed to load.
Another problem is getting sweets. There isn’t an explanation on how to get them and you have to figure out that balloons give them to you. If you go for all the balloons, you only get about 50 per level at the maximum.
The last problem is when you get hit. If you touch the death balloons or get hit with a laser, you fall down. But even at maximum height (thunderstorms) it takes about less than 6 seconds to be at the bottom again.

In general, it’s a good game but the monetization tactics could be toned down a little with some bugs to be weeded out. Overall, good game!

This game is fun; I like the music and the visuals. But it has some glitches:

-Sometimes “death balloons” and electric wires are unavoidable
- Sometimes the contraption begins to fly backwards and it’s up high where you can’t control it, so it just goes and goes and goes, and it erases mileage, which isn’t right. And you’re powerless to do anything, except for just sit there until she crashes. Not good!

This game is a really fun game if you just want to (kind of) calmly fly through the air on a hang glider, yo-yo, or some other crazy machine. I only have three problems: the game is a bit laggy sometimes but is mostly ok, leveling up is a bit more difficult than it should be in my opinion, and you have to “rent” buddies for an hour at a time. Honestly I’d much rather the bonuses than give to be smaller or even none at all if I could just have them fly with me permanently. Overall the game is great. But fixing these things could just make it *that* much better.

by Cool Jer

This is a really fun game, so much so that I wish that I could pay to make the ads go away. Unfortunately viewing the ads is actually part of the game where you are punished for crashing and its a way to get a second chance.

The game is good, but I’ve encountered a game breaking glitch where when I collect a booster jet the character starts doing flips, insane lag occurs, and the camera locks in place. Only solution I’ve found is restarting AvaAirborne . Also, I don’t find the point in extra gifts if you have to use more sweets to open them than you can normally get.

by @slowkingtail

A pure and simple game. The music is airy and delightful and you can keep playing over and over again without it becoming too stale. In between each round is clunky and a little frustrating how you have to click a million things and wait for a few screens to pass, but that’s my main gripe.

by Kashane99

This game is delightful and so fun to play, but I’m giving it three stars because it crashes at the end of about half of my flights. The screen goes black, I lose all my miles, candies and rewards for that flight, and I have to wait for the fame to reboot right back to the start screen.

by Chrisbeaman

I think you’ve made a great start with this game, but the next step to encourage retention/bring in more revenue is to add features to the game so that there’s more to it. It kind of reached capacity as far as diversity for me by the time I’d gotten a gold contraption...I eventually continued to acquire most of the upgrades, but the game had become stale.

If I were you, I’d make it so that the different gliders and buddies and lollipops and things give you powerups or maybe the buddies pop black balloons for you. I’d make it so that players could travel 1,000,000M in Fly mode through using the right combination of powerups and skillful gliding. I’d add powerups and “load out” selection to Race mode and make it so that sweets earned count toward your purchasability.

I’d keep the core game dynamics that you’ve built, but add enhancements to widen the spectrum of those dynamics. It would make the game more fun and give you more money-making opportunities.

by NightSongLightning

I absolutely love this game! And unlike most games, it has almost NO ADS! The only ads you get are the ones you choose, like if you want a little creature or you want to revive yourself. But for me, these DONT WORK! I’ve found myself in the odd position of actually WANTING. ADS. But despite that, I adore this game, and am more than happy to give it a solid 5+ stars.

Game has glitches, sometimes when I have Ava jump on the couch the whole game goes into slow motion. The glider doesn’t change its animated orientation and it behaves very odd. Tight flips and it will even travel backwards... so I have to completely close AvaAirborne and go back in a new. Jump on the couch and same... so I don’t jump on the couch any more. Lastly the game looks like an old tv screen... a really bad old tv screen with the corners cropped out. I have no idea what happed but it’s that way and won’t revert to its original sheen. I hope an update comes out so it will fix. It’s such a fun time occupier while I wait.

Update!
It was the coin op in (trinkets) turned on. I deselected it and Voila! Yay!

For starters there are some bugs left like one is like freezings and like animations are all long.
2 I would like you to make the birds instead of watching a video you have to pay sweet I would say around 100 or 200.
When you’re in the middle of getting a new one shirt but you don’t get to the same distance or fourth if there are in lose your progress I would like it is that it just steps you back onc.
