Tiny Wings 2 is free

Andreas Illiger has revealed that {Tiny Wings 2} is not going to be a paid-for release, but actually an update for the original {Tiny Wings}.

He explained the situation to Touch Arcade: "I [never] clarified if it will be an update or an seperate app before the release because then my fans will be happy on the release day when they see that the sequel isn't a seperate app and they will get it for free."

"I worked on the 2.0 version for the last 12 months and everyone told me I should make a seperate app out of it and sell it again (because it is almost a new game and I would earn a lot more money). It was a heavy decision for me to give away this new version for free but it feels right (most people I talked about this subject don't understand it)."

"So I decided to give it away for free as a big "thank you" to all my fans for changing my life. That's really important for me and the reason why I make this little stupid marketing trick of confusing my fans before the release."

The game is due to launch tomorrow.
