How to play Tilt Glide
Tap or press a key to start. On a phone, allow motion access when the browser asks; the angle you hold now counts as level.
Tilt your phone left or right (or hold ← → or A D) to bank the paper plane across the canyon.
Fly through the gold rings: every ring in a row builds your multiplier, from ×1 up to ×5, and the middle of a ring is a Perfect.
Every metre you fly scores your multiplier, so keep the rings coming and avoid breaking the chain.
Keep off the cliffs, the rock spires and the spinning paddles: three hits and the plane crashes. Knocks are free in the first 30 seconds, and a lost hit point mends after 15 seconds without a hit.
Fly into a swirling updraft to rise over the rocks for two seconds and score double on rings.
Pick a mode: Endless flies on until you crash, Timed stops the clock after 90 seconds.

Tips
Line up early: be on the ring's side of the canyon before you reach it. Swerving at the last moment clips the edge of the ring, or the spire waiting just beyond it.
Small tilts are gentle and big tilts are fast. Hold about 10 to 15 degrees for the long swings and keep the hard lean for emergencies, or you will overshoot into the cliffs. On a keyboard, tap the arrow keys for small corrections.
Protect the multiplier. From 35 rings in a row every metre counts five times, so a safe line through the middle of each ring beats a risky dive for a close call.
Tilt back (or press ↓) to slow down before spinner gates and tight chicanes, and tilt forward on open stretches: going faster covers more metres in Timed's 90 seconds.
Watch the wind streaks. In a crosswind lean gently into the wind and aim for the rings on the upwind side; the spire by the downwind wall is there for planes that drift.
In a spire field, take the updraft first: while you are lifted you fly straight over the rocks and every ring pays double.

About Tilt Glide
Tilt Glide is a free paper plane game in full 3D. You fly a white paper dart from just behind its tail, down an endless canyon at sunset: towering sandstone cliffs on both sides, a river glinting far below, and a trail of huge glowing gold rings hanging in the air ahead. Lean your phone and the plane banks into the turn. It is a tilt game first, one of the purest ways to feel what tilt games can do, and it plays just as well on a computer with the arrow keys, right in your browser with nothing to install.
Every ring you fly through in a row builds your combo, and the combo sets your multiplier: ×2 after five rings, ×3 after ten, all the way up to ×5. The multiplier counts for everything, and above all for distance, because every metre you fly scores points. A long clean line through the rings is worth far more than a reckless dive. Thread a ring through its very middle for a Perfect, catch a swirling updraft to soar over the rocks while rings count double, and skim past a spire for a close-call bonus.
The canyon fights back. Craggy rock spires rise from the river, red-and-white paddles turn on their posts, crosswinds push you toward the cliffs, and later stretches pinch the canyon into chicanes where you weave from wall to wall. Three hits and the paper crumples, but a lost hit point mends after fifteen seconds of clean flying. The first thirty seconds are a warm-up where knocks are free, so a first flight always gets going, and the light slowly turns from gold to violet dusk as you fly deeper.
There are two ways to play. Endless is the main event: no timer, just the canyon getting faster and tighter until you crash, and the leaderboard is about how far you got. Timed is the same canyon on a 90-second clock for a quick run, and it is the version you meet in the daily challenge. Every flight follows the same stage schedule with the same fixed-difficulty stretches, only in a different order, so the leaderboard measures flying, not luck. Free play is unlimited; press Ranked attempt when you want a flight to count, and it is replayed on our servers before it reaches the board.
On a phone, hold it comfortably in front of you and tap to start; the browser asks once for motion access. The angle you hold at the start counts as level, so you can play on the sofa, on a train or lying in bed. Small tilts give a gentle drift and about twenty degrees banks hard, with a little dead zone so a steady hand flies straight. Tilt the top of the phone away to fly faster, back to slow down. No motion sensor? Hold your thumb on the left or right side of the screen instead.
On a computer, press the left and right arrow keys (or A and D) to bank: a tap is a nudge, a hold is a full turn. Up and down (or W and S) trim your speed, and P pauses. Tilt Glide sits with our endless runner games, arcade games, reaction games and keyboard games, plays on mobile and PC alike, and its Timed mode is one of our quick games, free to play with no download.

Tilt Glide FAQ
Can I play Tilt Glide on my computer?
Yes. On a computer the arrow keys (or A and D) bank the plane, up and down (or W and S) change your speed, and P pauses. On a phone you steer by tilting it, or by holding your thumb on either side of the screen.
Why does my browser ask for motion access?
On a phone Tilt Glide reads the motion sensor to steer. The browser asks once; if you decline, you can still play by holding the left or right side of the screen.
How long does a game of Tilt Glide last?
Endless runs until your third hit, usually one to three minutes, and it keeps getting faster until even the best pilots crash. Timed lasts at most 90 seconds.
How is the score calculated?
Every metre you fly scores your multiplier, which grows with the rings you fly through in a row: ×2 after five, ×3 after ten, ×4 after twenty and ×5 after thirty-five. Rings, Perfects, updrafts and close calls add a bonus on top. Missing a ring or hitting something resets the multiplier to ×1.
Do I need to hold my phone flat?
No. The angle you are holding when the flight starts counts as level, so you can play upright, lying down or on the move. Tilt a little from there to steer.
Is every run equally hard?
Yes. Every flight follows the same stage schedule with the same speeds and fixed-difficulty stretches; only their order and left-right mirroring change from run to run.
