## In short

Coralwing is a low-poly flight game. A small white plane flies through a grey rock canyon, and about 12 seconds after Play the colour floods in. Pick Classic, Mouse or Casual controls; if you leave the keys alone, the plane meets a tall purple column at about 31 seconds and the game returns to the title screen.

**How to control it:** Computer: press Play, or open Controls first and pick Classic (arrow keys with Q and E), Mouse or Casual (arrow keys). Hold the Up arrow to keep the plane flying, press X to flip the pitch axis and Esc to pause. Phone or tablet: turn the device sideways; the game plays in landscape, but the controls screen lists keyboard and mouse schemes, so a keyboard gives the most control.

- Hold the Up arrow. In our two Up-held flights the plane was still flying when we stopped at 48 seconds.
