Glide — Free Online Glider Canyon Flying Game

Glide gives you a wing with no engine and exactly one input: the length of time your finger stays on the screen. Press down and the nose tips over into a dive; let go and the warm air under the canyon floor picks the glider back up. Neither is neutral, so the wing is always going somewhere, and level flight is something you build out of short dives and shorter pauses rather than something you can just hold. Ahead of you the canyon never repeats: slabs of rock slide in from the right, each with a single slot cut through it, and the slot drifts up or down from the one before. It runs free in any browser, on phone or desktop, with nothing to install.

How to play

Hold anywhere on the screen to dive, release to soar. Line the glider up with the lit slot in each rock column and pass through it — every slot cleared pays a bonus on top of the points that tick up for every second in the air. Touching rock, the canyon roof or the floor ends the flight immediately. The rock comes faster and the slots get narrower the longer you survive, so early altitude discipline is what buys you a long run.

Tips

The lift is stronger than the dive, which means a hands-off glider climbs into the roof surprisingly fast — when in doubt, hold. Aim at where the slot will be rather than where it is, because the wing carries its vertical momentum for a beat after you change input. Tapping in quick bursts holds a steadier line than one long dive followed by one long climb. If this suits you, try Heli, Balloon, or Flappy.
