How to play Acro Paragliding

Free to play in your browser - no install, no download.

Acro Paragliding starts you 2500 m above the ground and asks one question: how many tricks can you fit in before you land? Altitude is your only fuel. A spiral dive burns height fast, and every move pays points per second, so the whole flight is a trade between metres and score.

You look straight down at the landscape as it rotates and zooms toward you. Pick from ten sites, including Ölüdeniz, Chamonix, Interlaken, the Dolomites, Santorini, Rio, Dubai, Cape Town, Torrey Pines and Wadi Rum, and seven glider colour schemes such as SUNSET, OCEAN and VIOLET. It runs free in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

1. On the start screen choose a site and a glider, then tap Just jump to start at 2500 m above that site's ground level, or open School to read one of the 10 lessons first.
2. Hold one finger on the left half and one on the right half of the screen. The lower each finger sits, the deeper that brake line is pulled. Pull one side deeper than the other to bank.
3. Rock the brakes left and right in rhythm to build swing energy. Energy plus bank opens the harder moves: Wingover, Spiral Dive, Asymmetric spiral, SAT, Helico and Infinity Tumble.
4. The move name and its points per second appear in the middle of the screen. Chaining moves raises a combo multiplier shown next to your score.
5. Below 900 m above ground an arrow and a distance point to the lake. Level out and land inside it for a bonus.

Rules

• Points per second by move: Wingover 19, Spiral Dive 90, Helico 103, Asymmetric 114, SAT 198, Infinity Tumble 327. Steeper bank scores more.
• Each new move adds to the combo, up to x8 steps of +18%. The combo drops if no new move starts for about 4 seconds.
• Pulling both brakes past 90% stalls the wing and you sink at 12 m/s or more until you let go.
• SAT needs more than 78 degrees of bank with your weight shifted away from the pulled brake. Shift toward the brake instead and it becomes an Asymmetric spiral. With enough swing energy a SAT turns into an Infinity Tumble.
• Landing in the lake adds 600 to 3000 points depending on how close to the centre you touch down.
• The result screen lists score, best move, max bank, max G, max descent rate and airtime.

Tips

• Watch the G meter under your altitude. Above about 3.4 G the screen edges darken, and beyond 4.2 G the bar turns red.
• Rhythm matters more than force for a wingover: switch sides at the top of each swing.
• Rising air exists here too. When the vario number turns green you are climbing, which buys time for more tricks.
• The screen flashes red under 260 m above ground. Stop tricks early and glide level toward the lake arrow.
• Helico needs one brake pulled very deep while the bank stays under 40 degrees. Pull slowly or it turns into a spiral.
