Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We just completed the game and we loved it. Data wing is a nice, semi-quick game to play, and it is definitely a great change of pace. The game has an immersive soundtrack soundtrack, a great storyline, and amazing mechanics. This is a fantastic game. 10/10.
How has this game not gotten more traction. This is an amazing mix of lore, race, and suspense that we were all games had some of. If we had one wish, it would be to make all games as fun as this one. Well done the creators.
Bit of a learning curve but really fun and inventive.
Data Wing is an excellent game with a challenging learning curve, but it offers a satisfying sense of accomplishment once you grasp the mechanics. Its a quick story game with numerous speed run opportunities.
The story was absolutely perfect.
Simple game, also not so simple game. Game fun, we get mad game get more fun. We like game.
Such a good game. So cool that its free. Thank you for making such a cool game.
Its a simple, fairly short game with a deep storyline and smooth, polished mechanics. We will definitely play it multiple times, and its totally a great experience.
Im not a huge gamer but we like very specific actually good games like this one, Dark Souls, Hollow Knight10/10.
We played this and immediately fell in love. We highly recommend this. Good luck trying to get all the achievements ;).
Timo jogo! E o melhor sem propaganda e sem querer te vender nada! Apenas boas horas de diverso.
Great graphics, engaging story, excellent mechanics, and amazing music/sound design. The hame really has no flaws, we keep coming back to this game.
We love this game sm, the gameplay is rlly simple but is very nice, and the developer has a nice music taste lol. Banger of a game.
This game is one of those hidden gems.
OMG BRO we BEAT THE GAME IN LIKE AN HOUR we were so upset it was that quick we wish it was longer but it wont be cuz the last update was 6 years ago we hope they pick this project back up and add a dlc or something the music is great the storyline IS STRAIGHT UP BEAUTIFUL we wish there was a little more like we said but HOLY THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
This game is so awesome. At first we thought that it was going to be mother boring game, and we have not been able to find a really, really, REALLY good game in a while but DATA WING saved our boredom. It is cool and creative and fun, but there is one thing that is not good NOT ENOUGH LEVELS, this game is TOO GOOD to not have more levels. Devs we hope you see this review. We really love your game and home it gets updated soon. If not that is ok love this games so much. Thanks for your time to look at this. Love yall.
LIKE MOST we have loved this game. Wish it had controller support though even with such simple controls.
This game has so much potential there should be a part two please creator.
The gameplay is fun, simple, and not very repetitive, the game is short, but has an amazing story still, 10/10 top 5 mobile game of all time.
If only it was longer. Id play a thousand iterations of this game if it was available. 10/10. Make more pls.
Our dad said he wanted to play a game with us. We looked up for games and this came up. We installed it and us and our dad loved it.MAKE A PART 2.
This game got us into racing games. We dont even like them. The underlying story that you can choose to look into or not is super worth the time. Only complaint is there not being more of the game. A sequel would make our life 45% better.
This is our favorite game and we think that the fact that the skill ceiling is so high makes it highly enjoyable because Ive been playing it for about a year now and Im still getting better And finding new tricks, but we find ourselves focusing on the levels that have a leaderboard and we end up ignoring the rest of the game so we think that leaderboards should be added for some of the other levels, including the challenge levels and some other levels could be added in addition we think that this game is would be the perfect place to put in a level building feature, so that players could build their own levels we hope you see this developer.
We fell in love with this game when we first opened it. The music is great, the story is great, the gameplay is great pretty much everything about it is great! However, the controls were a little touchy at first, but we were able to get the hang of it quickly. We also love the time challenges that were included in the game too! DATA WINGs neon cyberspace vibe is a perfect fit for this game; something you dont see a whole lot in other games. The fact that you can also hack things is also a great feature in the game. We just have one suggestion: PLEASE add more levels! For a game this good, it has the potential for another story and more things to do. Maybe add some more game modes for levels, like escaping bosses and digital viruses as you progress, or for a separate mode from the story, racing against other players (keep the time challenges though!). If you can do this, DATA WING may be one of our favorite AppStore games of all time. DATA WING is fire, and we mean that. :).
The game is AWSOME! Its definitely got a learning curve to it, but rocketing around corners trying to beat your times is amazing.
This game is AMAZING. Fun level, great story, and is very unique compared to the repetitive games you will find on the App Store. This might as well be the greatest mobile game Ive ever played.
Overall a very fun game with genuine challenge at some points. The story on the side however made our heart race with anticipation, great work.
Actually good and meaningful story.
Fun, challenging, and with some good humor. Great for those who love dialing in millisecond hand eye coordination.
We never thought we would feel the urge to grind a mobile game but here we are. The controls are a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it you'll love this one.
Yes its old, it may even be difficult for some, but its beautiful Also theres literally zero ads, like at all.
We use to play this game as a kid and replaying it made us happy, but sad when it ended.
A really fun experience that is challenging but rewarding. The story is also really captivating to follow. We recommend doing all the challenges if you can and especially recommend getting the data notes for more of the story. AND NO ADS OR IN APP PURCHASES.
Cute, nerdy storyline that we did not expect. Could not stop playing – thanks for not bloating this thing with ads.
Add more levels! We beat it in a day.
This is probably one of the best mobile games Ive ever played, we would give it 6 stars if we could.
What a lovely journey, what heart.
Played it 2 times. Still want to know what the last message from the mom was.
Amazing game with a nice story and very nice controls and graphics. All in all a great one.
Great game! Free, neat story. Short gameplay but it checks a lot of boxes :).
Gerekten ok gzel bir oyun kontrolleri ilk baladnzda garip gelio ama ayn levelde biraz antreman yaparsanz gerekten ok elenceli ve mzikleride oyunun iine odaklanmanz salo hikayeside ok gzel bence oynayn.
Every bad review says this game is too hard or that the controls are too hard and yes theyre difficult but thats part of the game. Once you get them down, it becomes a little harder. Its challenging but fun.
A great game. So rare to have a fun, simple phone game that doesnt try to sell us stuff every minute or have endless tasks that never satisfy you because they want to you play forever. The game has a fun storyline that reminds us of tron and actually has an end! Woohoo.
For anyone looking for a difficult challenge, try beating every level but you are only allowed to turn in one direction in each level. In our experience Snakeskin and Patterns become by far the most obnoxious levels, but many other levels require creative strategies as well.
Awesome story, absolutely zero ads even though its a free game which is a massive bonus for us. The controls are the right balance of frustration and fun trying to get the hang of them.
Story was amazing we truly wish games was more like this now.
This game is good when theres no other good game.
Data wing exceeds todays games that simply drive for mediocrity! Extremely well done, with clever attitude & storyline, buttery-smooth controls, the perfect balance between fun & easy, yet challenging enough (we might have wanted to throw our phone a couple times), combined with a brilliant soundtrack! We replay the game almost every year! Kudos. This game is a cult favorite, and will go down in history! Thank you so much for the fun! BillFromBuffalo.
So far Ive had a pretty fun time its a well designed game that has no ads and not only that its free :D.
