Gathering Sky

Gathering Sky offers players an experience; one that is peaceful and rich in atmospheric music. Players begin with a single bird and can move it by dragging a finger across the screen. As they move through the levels, other birds will join the group until players are controlling a sizable flock. The birds respond naturally to each movement of the player's finger, turning and regrouping similar to how they would in real life. The game poses a few dangers in the form of obstacles that must be avoided and strong gusts of air, but the moments of quiet outnumber those of higher concentration.

The game takes a little under an hour to complete and can easily be finished in one session.

Gathering Sky's controls require the use of only one finger and nothing else.
