Xbox Indie Games Review - AvaGlide

I should probably start off saying that I never played Pilot Wings but I'm told this is a lot like it.

In AvaGlide you control your avatar flying a glider and there's 3 different game modes you can play.
-In Ring Rush you're suppose to fly through rings to increase your time and collect stars in between those rings for extra points.
-Delivery Dash has you dropping crates off on platforms to score points. The crates react to physics so you have to be careful in your drops otherwise they'll roll right off the platform!
-Star Smash has clocks to increase your time and gold/silver/bronze stars to increase your points. Score as many points as you can before you crash or the time runs out.
    The game controls very smoothly and if I ever flew a glider I think it would control exactly the same so it does a good job of simulating that experience. There's also 'air lifts' around the place that help send you back in the air so when you start running out of juice they'll give you some extra oomph. Everything is score based and it also has global high scores so that should add a lot of replayability and record breaking attempts. :)

    Rating - 9/10
