The feeling of advancing through the various stages of flying technology is also well represented, with the dials on your glider becoming more sophisticated and useful as you climb the tech ladder. Watching the penguin strap on a helmet or fire off some rocket boosters in the latter stages of the game does have a certain appeal, perfectly captured through the well drawn graphics. While the gameplay is fairly dull, Learn to Fly at least wraps it all up in a very cute outer shell. Sure, you can probably eke out a few extra yards on a flight through careful tilting, but, except for the very final objective, this rarely makes any difference to the success of an attempt.

These start off with just his wings, which are naturally a bit crap, right up to a rocket-pack with space helmet and digital instruments. Learn to Fly is a gliding game in which you have to adjust your penguin’s launch angle to maximise the height, distance, and speed capabilities of his various contraptions. When I say ‘annoys’, what I mean is he’s angry enough to construct devices in under an hour that took man thousands of years to create. Penguins, on the other hand, have never had the luxury of flight, and that annoys the protagonist of Namco’s latest mobile game, Learn to Fly. Yet in 100 years we’ve gone from rickety old bicycle-gliders to sleek planes able to transport hundreds of passengers at once. It was only in the last century that things actually picked up on the whole flying front.
