Parrot Ring Flight

Goal of the game

In Parrot Ring Flight you play with your face and head movements. The parrot follows your nose. Fly through the centre of each glowing ring as it rushes toward you. Missing a ring costs a heart.

Tips and strategy

• Stay near the centre in Parrot Ring Flight; it gives you the most room to dodge in either direction.
• Don't chase every pickup in Parrot Ring Flight — grab only the ones on your safe path.
• Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Parrot Ring Flight far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
• Replay Parrot Ring Flight a few times: each run teaches you the patterns, and scores usually double after the first five games.
