There is no cockpit and no wings. You stand on a red and gold rug that ripples under your feet, and the city drops away below. Bank over minarets and flat roofs, skim the desert to the pyramids, slip under the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge, and fly between the legs of the Eiffel Tower.
Every journey has a job. Collect a treasure, carry it across the city, and set it down where it belongs. Black-carpeted robbers chase you for it, vultures dive from above, and every knock does damage. Throw gusts of wind to blow them out of the sky, gather gems and magic lamps along the route, and follow the beacon to the portal that carries you to the next adventure.
Somewhere along the way, the dark fairy Samira is waiting.
The route
Every mission ends at a portal, and every portal opens somewhere new. Where they lead is for you to find out.
Egypt
The Golden Scarab of Khafre must go home. Collect it from the roof of the Grand Museum and carry it over wooded hills, palms and cypresses, out across the desert to its tomb beside the Sphinx. Tomb robbers on black carpets want it. Vultures guard the sands.
San Francisco
The portal throws you out high over the Golden Gate. Collect a reliquary at Grace Cathedral, carry it over the Victorian rows and steep hills to Coit Tower, then race back to defend the cathedral's stained glass from wave after wave of raiders, gulls and brutes.
Stonehenge
A portal opens onto Salisbury Plain in the teeth of a thunderstorm, and Samira's whole horde is waiting. Survive through the rain and mist to the three portals flickering round the stones. Only one leads out. The false ones throw you back to where you began.
New York Harbor
Samira's raiders got here first, and the Statue of Liberty's torch has gone dark. Collect the eternal flame in Battery Park, at the tip of Lower Manhattan, carry it past Ellis Island and hover beside her raised arm to relight it. Then keep it burning.
Paris
A masked thief on a crimson carpet has stolen the Rose of Notre-Dame. Chase him along the Seine, round the Arc de Triomphe and under the Eiffel Tower. Six gusts bring him down. If he reaches his portal on the hill of Montmartre, the Rose is lost.
Venice · The finale
Carry the Rose up the Grand Canal, under the Rialto, to St Mark's Basilica. Its light breaks the shield Samira waits behind. Then duel her over the square: dodge her violet bolts or blow them apart, and bring her out of the sky. She says no one can free her.
The bargain
"Such a heavy burden, for such a lovely rider. Rest a moment; time will wait for us. Give me the scarab, and I will call them away. Refuse me... and I cannot hold them back." Samira, over the Egyptian desert
Time stops while she makes her offer. Think carefully before you answer.
You ride standing up, in first person. Bank into a turn and your head tilts with it, and the carpet's fringe ripples harder as you pick up speed.
Your weapon is the wind. A gust curls toward attackers ahead and knocks robbers, vultures and gulls clean out of the sky. It even breaks Samira's dark bolts.
Every hit and every bump against a wall damages what you carry. Magic lamps restore it, and gems along the route add to your score.
Slow right down and hold steady over the roof, the tomb door or the torch. A beacon always points the way, so you always know where to fly next.
Each mission plays differently. Hold off waves round a cathedral, survive a storm, run down a thief across Paris, and face Samira herself in the finale.
Each mission takes about five minutes. Bring the cargo home in good condition and under par time to earn all three stars, then fly it again to beat your best.
The world
