Ava Airborne – Action Game Review
Ava Airborne is a Action/Adventure game from Playstack Ltd, first launched in 4th April 2018.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 254+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Ava Airborne Stand Out
Ava believes she can fly. Immerse yourself in this thrilling journey across a beautiful yet hazardous skyline. Weave between giant bomb-balloons, dive into turbo-charged catapults, bounce off trampolines and launch up into the clouds. Just never touch the floor.
Defy gravity. With style.
Lovingly crafted by the multi-award winning British indie studio Laserdog, Ava Airborne lets you master the sky with anything you can find: cardboard wings, rocket-propelled boots, an old umbrella, or even a jet-fuelled trombone.
====================
TAKE TO THE SKIES: Glide Ava as far as you can without touching the floor – the further you fly, the bigger the reward!
JOIN THE ELITE: Progress Ava through fifteen levels of pilot, from the beginner’s Leaf rank to the ultra-exclusive Ace class!
BIRD BUDDIES: Get a little boost from Ava’s flying companions, from Steven the Seagull to Duckington McDuckFace!
FALLING BEAUTY: Customise your very own Ava by collecting your very own trinkets, charms and companions!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ava airborne is an AMAZING game. Its our favorite game to play on a boring day. But we would like to see an update. Does she have a home? Is there a part 2 or backstory? We would like to see a new app or at least a new update for the app. Amazing game, would definitely recommend playing.
For starters there are some bugs left like one is like freezings and like animations are all long. 2 we would like you to make the birds instead of watching a video you have to pay sweet we would say around 100 or 200. When youre in the middle of getting a new one shirt but you dont get to the same distance or fourth if there are in lose your progress we would like it is that it just steps you back onc.
This game is both fun beautiful and has good music and the backstory of each glider is so funny.
Ive played this game for a while now, and Ive never even thought about deleting it. The puzzle piece system is great and all the different flyers are fun and sometimes the descriptions make us laugh. We love this game.
Great game with good music and a nice art style.
This would help a lot more so you dont have to rehire your buddie.
Honestly one of the best apps Ive ever played the first app game we downloaded when we got our phone 2 years ago and we would love to see this on consoles.
Game has glitches, sometimes when we have Ava jump on the couch the whole game goes into slow motion. The glider doesnt change its animated orientation and it behaves very odd. Tight flips and it will even travel backwards… So we have to completely close the app and go back in a new. Jump on the couch and same… So we dont 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. We have no idea what happed but its that way and wont revert to its original sheen. We hope an update comes out so it will fix. Its such a fun time occupier while we wait. Update! It was the coin op in (trinkets) turned on. We deselected it and Voila! Yay.
This is the best game we ever played! We love it because 1:its our name 2:we love flying and watching things soar across the sky!!! Its perfect dont change anything at all.
This game is just so fun Im so hooked.
Omg we love the feel to this, please dont change any of the aesthetic EVERRR.
We 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 us, these DONT WORK! Ive found ourselves in the odd position of actually WANTING. ADS. But despite that, we adore this game, and am more than happy to give it a solid 5+ stars.
When we saw this game we were like OMG MY NAME IS AVA AND we ALWAYS WANTED TO FLY.
We think youve 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 theres more to it. It kind of reached capacity as far as diversity for us by the time Id gotten a gold contraption…we eventually continued to acquire most of the upgrades, but the game had become stale. If we were you, Id 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. Id make it so that players could travel 1,000,000M in Fly mode through using the right combination of powerups and skillful gliding. Id add powerups and load out selection to Race mode and make it so that sweets earned count toward your purchasability. Id keep the core game dynamics that youve 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.
Its a cute game that provides simple fun! No real complaints, sometimes we feel that obstacles come up a bit too quickly, but generally a good game! No ads that pop up to annoy you every play, but ads and IAP if you want certain perks.
We love this game but every time we try to use a launcher it makes the graphics all pixelated.. Please have that fixed we really dont want to get fed up and end up having to delete this game that we actually enjoy.
Everything is awesome…. Exept the time in between games, it takes way too long for everything to pass before you start a new game.
Seems like a very enjoyable game. Cant see any of the videos so cant unlock any of the prizes. Please consider saving the default vehicle between games so we dont have to scroll and select our favorite one every time we start the game. Very addictive game otherwise.
It is a really great game, you should add a peaceful mode so you can fly without any black balloons.
So Ill give a 4 star. It wouldve been a 5 star but there are problems. First of all, most of the ads will not play at all even when Im clearly connected to the internet and it just says the video failed to load. Another problem is getting sweets. There isnt 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, its a good game but the monetization tactics could be toned down a little with some bugs to be weeded out. Overall, good game.
Played the tutorial seems like a good game but after our first play the game doesnt allow us to play and makes our screen go dark.
We notice that whenever you go to the screen that allows you to choose Avas contraptions or the racing planes, it doesnt let you go to any of them. We kept pressing fly but the surrounding screen just gets darker and darker. This has been a problem for a long time, it would be greatly appreciated if its fixed.
In all honesty, we thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Awesome for wasting free time, and didnt 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, we noticed a glitch that refused to let us start a game. We could get to the start screen, but the screen seemed to multiply with every touch, not allowing us to play. We had to delete this game, but we would certainly go back if it could be fixed.
We 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 us and kill us. Its 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 its a peaceful game with some super annoying features. 3/5.
It's an absolutely amazing app… Except for the "watch a video to (blank)" doesn't work. Every time we try to watch a video for something, is says "Error to load video".
For some reason we run into a glitch where it says video unable to load when trying to watch ads.
We like it it is very amazing to play kinda a addictive and cool but… We hate that it has the laser things that stop you from flying a little especially when your in the race and your in 1ST PLACE or 2nd place we mean its not that important probably for some of you but we just think so.
We think our game has a bug, because every time we play it doesnt let us play.
We just started and went from rank 1-2 and cant play anymore for some reason. All the ads and shop work but cant fly even if we redownload it.
We downloaded this game a couple years ago, got bored, deleted it, then downloaded it again today. We cant even play the game because it keeps glitching out. When we press start a sort of double image of the screen pops up and no matter what we do we cant begin the actual game.
We hope you like your whimsical Jet Pack Joyride rehashes with a LOT of ads and overwhelming chaos. We feel like theres no making progress in this game. Theres plenty of peril to prevent you from flying very far, and theres very little you can do to stay in the air very long. Time to watch another 30-second ad! We found that less than half of the time in the app was actually playing a game. Not fun.
Short version: fantastic idea, utterly drowned in greedy micro transaction and ad redirection mechanics that reduce the otherwise good gameplay to a plodding crawl.
The game was fun but then one day we kept getting a video failed to load error when we tried to rent a buddy or other special options. Considering how the game is designed to make you watch ads to progress this is very annoying.
We really love this game, but we havent been able to play it because when we click fly mode, it tells us to pick a glider, but right away four other selection screens overlap that one so we cant play at all. Could this be fixed.
Was a favorite game now it does not work.
Used to like this game but its been bugged for the last six months to where it is unplayable. Would like to play again pls fix :(.
It was great before the addition of the race mode broke the game.
Game wont let us click the play button. Just freezes.
Its laggy. Its boring. Make it like ROBLOX.
Game will not let us play. Stuck at choose mode screen. Game stops responding, wont even let us click back to the home page. We tried deleting and re-installing. Too bad because it seems really promising.
We literally play with our eyes closed and get to 13,500m. Dont waste your time on this game.
The art style is infectious and it doesnt feel like a drag to try again and beat your old score because of the simply adorable aesthetic.
Dear Developers… While playing our 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 wont 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 youre stuck with the two game modes frozen on your screen. Please fix this soon, this is an amazing game and we really dont want to delete it.
Would be a fun game if it wasn't for the death balloons that spawn in gigantic walls which are almost impossible to not hit.
T worked great for a month – was fun and engaging. Id upgraded to and on several contraptions … Then it glitched. When trying to click fly, the glider and planes on the race screen would ghost and duplicate and not actually load into the game. Hard reset of the game and iPad didnt fix the problem, so we had to delete and reinstall.. Losing all of our upgrades and completion. Im really disappointed.
We get in canons and they shoot us back to the start and we die, is that suppose to happen.
This game is fun; we 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 its up high where you cant control it, so it just goes and goes and goes, and it erases mileage, which isnt right. And youre powerless to do anything, except for just sit there until she crashes. Not good.
This game has us hooked. The controls for each glider are different and fun, and we find ourselves trying out new strategies for each of them all the time. Collecting all of the items is also a fun for completionists. The overall atmosphere of the game is lovely, and it really immerses us. Our only complaint is the score screen is waaaaay too long. We want to get back into the action and play again, not wait 2 minutes tapping gifts and watching ads. It feels like the Agamemnon doesnt want us to play it at all! Other than that, its a fun game to experiment on with adorable graphics to go with. If you liked Whale Trail, youll LOVE this.
The game is good, but Ive encountered a game breaking glitch where when we collect a booster jet the character starts doing flips, insane lag occurs, and the camera locks in place. Only solution Ive found is restarting the app. Also, we dont find the point in extra gifts if you have to use more sweets to open them than you can normally get.
The only bad part about this game is that there is a glitch, where any canon will shoot you back to the beginning and you die. So. Yeah . Otherwise, great game.
