"This was a terrible idea. I thought, ``oh cool, I can use my hand and fly like a bird over my phone. Fun!`` Then I played it. You use your thumb to control the bird by touching the screen. When you get in a ``wind tunnel`` you swipe in front of the screen for a ``speed burst``. The artwork was a 5, the music a 5, but the game is a big fat turd. Great job making a turd. I would rather play a game shooing flies away from a turd. It would be funner and make more (motion)sense."

"Love the music. Simple and educational for my pixel 4 phone. Now I know gesture only works if I left the phone on a unanimated surface like a table."

"Disappointing. Could have been great. If there were multiple gestures then it could have been really interesting. Eg. Relative to radar sensor: Angling hand to resemble wings, raising our lowering for height or special actions/speed, fist for something else, one/2/3/4 fingers for other things... Wanted a cool innovative gaming experience for a $1.5 thousand dollar phone (AUD) and got something that could have been replaced with a simple button."

"After reading the response to another review, I learned that ``Coming alive`` wallpapers need to be disabled, otherwise the game freezes when you get to the Soli navigation. The game has 6 short levels, all beautifully put together and with good music and haptic feedback. It`s a cute showcase of basic project Soli functionality. It would be nice to see more simple games like this with soli not just as a by-product, but instead as the main controller for the game. This would mean moving away from just waving left and right and instead add finger gestures as in the early project Soli demo gifs (button, dial, slider)."

"I think it demonstrates well why motion gestures haven`t become a part of mobile design. It was curious to me to see some ideas about exploring wildlife that made it into Alba later. I was lucky to have a pixel 4 on hand to try it out."

"Motion Sense is not working on this game currently. Edit: Works now after a restart (which would have acted like closing the other apps), but still doesn`t run that smoothly."

"It`s simple and reasonably enjoyable. But it`s also a little too simple. The implementation of the soli radar seems so lazy and the gameplay is just too simple to enjoy playing for more than 10 minutes."

DESCRIPTION
A collaboration between Google and ustwo Studios, Headed South is an experience that introduces Google`s new Quick Gestures to users in a playful and engaging way.
Driven by Motion Sense, Quick Gestures introduce a new paradigm of interaction that changes the way users interact with their devices.
Headed South takes you on a journey from the forest-covered scenery of the North to the warm, secluded shores of the South in a fantasy landscape. You play as Soli, a unique bird on a mission to rescue unsuspecting wild birds from a dark, approaching storm.
Each bird is unique and requires special gestures to catch up to them in flight. Through Soli`s journey, players will learn, practice, and master the use of Quick Gestures on the Pixel 4.
Master the gestures and flight controls in order to save the birds and escape the storm!
AN AERIAL ADVENTURE
Six stunning levels to explore
THE MAGIC OF FLIGHT

FEATURES
★ Replayable levels (catch all the birds, get all the stars)

★ A flock of your own (Soli is the leader; collect and watch them come together)
