How can we help?
Quick answers below. Still stuck, found a bug, or have an idea? Email the studio directly. A real person reads every message.
Getting started
How do I play?
Tap anywhere to flap. Stop tapping and gravity pulls Puffy down. Fly between the pillars without touching a pillar, the floor, or the ceiling. Your score is how many pillars you clear. Tap the ? next to TAP TO FLY! on the main menu for the full How to Play guide.
Which devices are supported?
PuffyWings is made for iPhone and requires iOS 16 or later.
Do I need Wi-Fi or an internet connection?
No. The whole game plays offline. Only ads, purchases, Game Center, and iCloud sync need a connection.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-up. Game Center is optional and only needed for leaderboards and achievements.
Worlds, modes, and birds
How do the 10 worlds work?
Every 50 pillars, Puffy flies into a new world: Breezy Meadows, Sunflower Fields, Whispering Forest, Misty Mountains, Desert Dunes, Ancient Ruins, Frozen Peaks, Volcano Sky, Thunder Clouds, and finally Space Migration from pillar 451 on. The World Map on the main menu shows how far you have flown.
How do I play the Challenge Modes?
Tap Challenges on the main menu. Big Wheel Carnival and Broadside Bay are free from the start, with their own Game Center leaderboards.
How do I unlock Sage?
Clear 200 pillars in a single run. Sage is yours for free, forever.
How do I get Feather Fall?
Reach a 150 streak and it unlocks for free, or buy it in the Shop’s Effects tab.
When are the seasonal birds available?
Seasonal looks appear in the Shop’s Seasonal tab during their months and return every year: Pumpkin in September and October, Kris Kringle in November and December, Imperial Dragon in January and February, and Aloha in June and July.
What are Sparkles?
Sparkles are a free collectible. Every one you catch is saved in your Sparkle wallet on the main menu, run after run. They cannot be bought with money.
Purchases and Premium
How do I restore my purchases?
Open Settings > Restore Purchases in the game, or use the Restore Purchases link on the Premium page. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple Account you bought with.
I bought something but I don’t see it
First try Restore Purchases. If a family organizer uses Ask to Buy, the purchase appears once it is approved. Still missing? Email us with the order ID from Apple’s receipt email and we will sort it out.
What does Premium include?
One purchase, no subscription, yours forever: Pick Your World (start from any world you have reached), no banner or game-over ads, 3 free continues every run with no ads to watch, and the exclusive Golden Crown. Free play stays exactly the same, and every world is still earnable by playing.
How do I get a refund?
Apple handles all payments and refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Progress and Game Center
Will my progress move to a new iPhone?
Yes. When you are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple Account, your best score and streak, settings, and the Sage unlock sync automatically. Purchases come back with Restore Purchases. Challenge Mode bests and Sparkles stay on the iPhone where you earned them.
How do I reset my progress?
Deleting and reinstalling the app clears the progress stored on your iPhone. If iCloud is on, your best score, streak, and the Sage unlock may sync back. Game Center scores stay on the leaderboards.
Where are the leaderboards and achievements?
Tap the Game Center button at the bottom right of the main menu, or open Settings > Leaderboards or Settings > Achievements. There are four leaderboards (Best Score, Best Streak, Big Wheel Carnival, Broadside Bay) and 19 achievements.
My score isn’t on the leaderboard
Check that you are signed in under iOS Settings > Game Center and connected to the internet. Scores can take a few minutes to appear.
Ads, privacy, and settings
What ads are in the game?
One banner, only on the game-over screen, and an optional video you can watch to continue a run. There are no pop-up ads during play. Premium removes the banner and gives you 3 free continues every run.
How do I change my ad and privacy choices?
Tracking: iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. In the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and US states with privacy opt-out rights, open Settings > Privacy Options in the game to review your choices. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
Can I turn off music, sounds, or vibration?
Yes. Music, Sound Effects, and Haptics each have their own switch in the game’s Settings.
How do I turn reminders on or off?
Use the Reminders switch in the game’s Settings, or iOS Settings > Notifications > PuffyWings.
The game froze or closed unexpectedly
